Remembering Ruan

[Tender]

My Mrs had eyes which looked like they'd been stitched together with red thread when I got home after Saturday's game (Straight home like a good hubby).
I thought she found my password, but turns out she'd watched Ruan and I quote 'Those big watery puppy dog eyes' as he lost it after the game. She did say the interviewer was a stupid ballix for asking the question 'How do you feel' and after I'd watched it all again, it was a typical amateurish BBC type question and I had to agree with her.
I'm not ashamed to say I shed a tear while watching the recording, but during the game I had Mexican blue dogs left and right of me and I couldn't let them think I was another John Snow( Soft Northin Bastid)
I'd say a fair few still get a bit emotional even now, but the anger felt towards Nucifecker and FIRFU helps.

You are right Tender, I'm a saft shyte myself when it comes to this sort of thing, but for now, I'm still looking forward to watching him again in the Barbarians game, don't understand folk (not FOLK) who aren't interested.

Thereafter it'll be full anger mode and I will hate Ireland & the Fuc'king FIRFU until Nucifora dies or hell freezes over, whichever comes sooner. I always thought if I lived long enough to see Ireland beat NZ I would have been overjoyed, as it was I thought they did well, deserved the win but so fuc'king what, Ireland has been ruined for me., no fecks whatsoever.

I have been appalled by UR and their timid acceptance of the situation, they should at the very very least have made a howling roar of disapproval, when casual money making tourist to Dublin Nacewa got another contract. It was the perfect occasion to rear up and demand justice for Pienaar, albeit no doubt he had signed his French contract. It would have been a perfect futile gesture of utter outrage but no, we accept third class citizenship with barely a murmur & a Fit Controller content early in the piece who said, no more can be done.

Wrong, you might not have won the fight but if you'd thrown yer toys about a bit, next time maybe they would have less willingness to stick you on a spit and roast you like a suckling pig, but no, a wee gurn, then meek acceptance. Well, I suppose a man has to have a healthy respect for where his 30 pieces of silver come from on a monthly basis.

FOLK may be the FIRFU's plant, Fit and others appear to be their poodles.

Your hole pal, he was ate, bate and spat out by both Mexican LHs. The scrum troubles started when Dave A-F went off.

Fact: when a prop makes one turnover, that does not mean he has "given a performance".

I have it on strong advice that Bryn fought tooth and nail to keep Ruan where he should be, but Nucibastard was unyielding. Don't know about the others, but I'll go out on a limb and say Logan calved in his normal subservient manner.

Poor aul Gusher struggled to hold back the tears on Saturday, as did I.

One of the problems with that is Bryn sits below FOLK in the scheme of things so are they really going to listen to a middle manager employee.. This was a time that the bluffer Logan could have made more effort but then the only thing he cares for is RWC 2023 in Ireland.

I'm hoping he makes a mess of the Wemins version and gets the heave ho

[solidarity]

I wonder what Ruan's autobiography will look like in a few years time. Will he tell all or will he, more than likely, be too gracious to get a lot of stuff off his chest. Of course Roger Wilson's should be out sooner and I doubt that he will mince his words.

Donal keeping in with the FIRFU and talking a load of ballix.

Thanks Donal.

Anyway, does anyone on here know whether we tried to get any kind of deal, such as a commitment to restrict the number of games ruan played at 9 for us next season, to ensure IQ scrum halves got some decent gametime. We could then have used him as back up 10 in some of the other games in the pro12, in the absence of pj. Surely a better alternative than continuing to muck about with the careers of olding and nelson trying to learn to play 10 at this level? Could have bought us another season to being through mcphillips as a potential back up.
