Sky to Lose Premiership and Heineken Cup Rights

[Russ]

Their coverage includes a little mock up pitch where they go through different aspects of the game from rucking, genuine number 7 play, kicking and covering things such as scrum binds.

All covering the key aspects of the game.

I will admit though, listening to Stuart Barnes trying to make the English Championship sound good is one of the funniest things I've ever heard

Stephen Jones's headline today:

Elite Leagues deliver shock tactics to make their point.

2 of the last 7 HC cups they've won, the elite leagues.

Then he goes on to point out how the clubs in England are 'organic' unlike the clubs in the Rabo.
WTF?!!

Another article by Paul rowan makes out that Leinster are contemplating jumping into bed with the English and French clubs
should the breakaway happen and that the prospect of all that dosh probably appeals to other Irish
provinces also.

This is what prompted me to want to watch the Saffacens game!

Do you reckon the Rabo could poach the Cornish Pirates and Jersey?

Come on lads, we all know it's because Ulster, Munster and Leinster would all be terrified of relegation from the Rabo if it were ever introduced and would have to split their squad more evenly.

That's the only reason they've been able to dominate the HEC in recent years.

It was free

It sure was Russ and just as well because one would need to be a few shillings short of a guinea to pay to watch Saracens v Gloucester or v anybody for that matter. They are an awful club who play awful rugby.


Still though the Bath v Leicester game was pretty decent. Now I rather like these old legendary clubs. At least they have a great heritage and you do see some good rugby too. Though you have to go back a long time to see success for Bath which is a pity.

Py Py Py,

Don't make the mistake of taking this guy seriously. He is there to provide the immature English reader with a comfort blankey. Nothing more nothing less.

Very elequently put baggy, not sure I understand much of your drift, but have to admire the work. A much higher grade of put down than your average.
Can you give Russ some lessons................................

Waste of time and effort, TB.

Ouch. If you were wrong he'd probably even be capable of getting upset at such a comment Rocky....
