Re: Heineken Cup Replaced

Despite all the bull spouted by the PRL and assorted media lackeys it has been an entertaining 24 hours with first the RRW statement, then the "deal" offered by the WRU on internationals and finally the ERC statement. However I am particularly intrigued by the silence from Sky, perhaps giv...

Re: So Who Will Show Up On Wednesday

Scrum I,m not sure that Wednesday will see any significant announcement. The complete absence of any comment from either the Rabo or in deed the unions apart from a set of 4 fairly innocuous statements that ruled nothing in or out suggests to Me that a very subtle and co ordinated strategy is being ...

Re: Heineken Cup Replaced

With all these threats of litagation flying around I took a look at the RFU board, listed in the 2012 annual report, to see how the "blazers" might fare when facing the full might of those shining bastions of capitalisim that are the PRL. Interesting reading I thought, particularly these c...

Re: Disapointing but no surprise really....

Mike Certainly the stand out feature of the second half of the Munster game was the level of passion and focus that they brought to the game. For me on Saturday I could not believe what I was seeing unfold in front of me. We seemed utterly lacking in the passion and burning ambition that had been so...

Re: "Rugby: a sport so boring its fans make it great" - Real

Shammy Looking towards the positives however there is always the very real possibility in a match that the player you dislike most, let's call him Dylan for arguements sake, may get completely hammered in the contact zone. Football styles itself as the "Beautiful Game" but let's be honest ...

Re: Italy V Ireland

Hey dave Myself and the waroffice have been to the last 5 away games in Rome. Undoubtedly the best weekend of the 6 nations. We have stayed close to the Termini, very handy for the Flan OBrien on Via Nationale. Great city particularly if you like a good dander. The old venue, the stade Flamino was a...

Re: Ulster Bank Fiasco

Well I have been a UB customer for 30 years and although not currently inconvenienced by this debacle I am far from impressed. No doubt if it is not resolved soon I will be affected since I have 3 UB accounts and RBS and UB credit cards. Nevertheless the actions of the UB senior management have been...

Re: All Blacks vs Ireland

I really struggle to see the logic in calling PW up at such a late stage. I understood he was on his hols in the Algarve so that's a flight back home today, pack and back to UK tomorrow for a very long flight to NZ. While he may well have been on the call up list and maintaining some form of trainin...
