The UAFC

Yes it’s exactly the same.

Bunch of posh lads in Treviso, with your Benetton clothes people and the landed gentry of Venice, while Parma is surrounded by dairy farmers.

Thanks for that, if only because I had to scroll back to remind myself what you were banging on about and saw my hilarious Bosch gag.

My impression was that Hugh was reluctant to embarrass Trimble for his lack of research.

Rugbypass saying Murphy is/was holding out for a longer deal than the one year offered.

I think our goose is cooked, and we won’t qualify for Champ Cup. That said I’m bizarrely excited for next yr, and pre season. I think we’ll try to play a far more attractive brand of rugby, and there’ll be opportunities for young pups if they show promise. For me these few games are a free hit out,...

Surely experience as a head coach of a senior club is the must? We need a steady hand over next couple of years as these young lads get integrated in to the team. Which is why I'd have serious doubts over Murphy or someone like Payne. Personally I'd rather have an entirely new coaching ticket (or a...

Rugby Pod saying that Bristol made 40 odd clean breaks against Newcastle and only kicked it three times in open play, to go with their 13 tries.

That’s all very well but they didn’t get the drama we did against Cardiff.

Lineout legend Ruzza missed last week after getting subbed off early the week before.

Dunno what was wrong with him but could well be missing again.

Ffs.

I would have rested Hume for that game.

More starts than anyone else I believe.

Sam Grove-White?

Thought he’d picked up a groin strain in Cape Town….?

Good luck to him.

Tried reffing a football game once which was hard enough.

Think I had to give a pen and an indirect free kick in the box. Never again.

Rugby must be miles harder to ref.

Adamson is still useless, mind.

You mean Hugh, right? He’s not stopping.

Interim means interim in his case.

In Murphy’s case, interim means trying to scrape enough wins to get the job.

I’ll happily say it. If we are effectively going to be playing a side heavily filled with pups, so be it. It’ll likely be the closest thing to a home grown UR side for yrs. Non CC qualified, ok….a yr in the challenge cup with pups might not be a bad thing for their development. I don’t know re part...

I was thinking of our other centre.

I was level with that one. Cooney got something on it. The game is on iplayer and that lineout is about 57.30 on the match clock on screen. The Izzy one is about 67.15. Young did not lose the ball in the tackle, in the normal sense of that expression. He was in the process of placing the ball over t...
