Wanting to be able to write something disparaging about the Welsh being braindead, I looked up Monster trucks. I wouldn't be bothered with it but in fairness it looks like a good show.

Last match I went to Scotstoun, they called their own ball boy a cheat.

I always wondered how they get away with putting on that show in an indoor arena, one of those wheels comes off and heads for the crowd and it will be similar to one of those ISIS guys with a backpack.

Don't worry Ulster prods - you will have no reason to be there in May.
Good God-fearing folk should not be forced to visit the house of Satan. The possibility alone, no matter how unlikely it is, is more than one should be reasonably expected to bear.

Anyone going for the pay monthly premier sports option?
If so, is it calendar months? Conscious they might try and stiff you for some shyte games on last day of August

I see they are promoting first month free then £9.99 per month after. I hammered Sky down as my contract was up for renewal, (chopped movies & kids stuff out, getting everything else, Discovery, Atlantic etc) so saved £40 per month now going to add £9.99 for something I may actually watch. It wont be for everyone but suits me. Mind you a lot of last years went straight to delete. Just for the record I told them to cancel it 3 times before getting Sky Entertainment, Sky Sports, Sky Go, all in HD for £38 per month (18 month contract). Like a mug I was paying top dollar for previous 15 years.

Decent highlights and review/preview show of the Pro 14 on Premier Sports midweek (also on FreeSports). The 2 x 1 Hour highlights programmes are good for catching up with any games you missed over the weekend. The Pro 14 Hour is more chat, but also very good with the excellent Murray Kinsella.

I see we had our 1st major clanger from the officials in the Connacht Glasgow game which denied the home side a chance to win it at the death. Was 26-27, Connacht had just come up short with a crazy drop goal attempt. Hogg carried the ball over the line and touched it down - 22 given rather than a 5 metre scrum for Connacht.

Just finished watching Dragons versus Southern Kings we are in great shape in comparison to both. If this is Bernard Jackmans defining season with the Dragons then I'd suggest he pulls it together sooner rather than later. Dragons were terrible and could/should have been beaten.

Didn't realise how low the wage budget was at the South African teams until I read article below -

https://www.sport24.co.za/Rugby/SuperRu ... a-20180730

According to the article the Southern Kings players wage budget is a grand total of 600k
