Re: Glasgow Match - Going or Not - POLL

First post in a whole lot of years and sad to say NOT going. Something has to be done; since the glimmer of hope in 2011/12 UR has been on a downward slope with those at the top ultimately responsible.

Re: It's rugby not football!!

Would he have reached for the card?.....possibly yes probably no, who is to know; RP has won us a few penalties this way....is that a reason to do it. Fundamentally I go back to the title of this post, its rugby not football and as such there is a code of conduct written or not that stands our game ...
