Re: Big World of Rugby

Dave he went back SA for family reasons so the brainfart might not have changed the present situation .

The big bF was of course made by the self-righteous not so innocent as those who were.

Re: Contract Situation

There maybe some booze left in the changing rooms for after the match --but everything thereafter would i assume be paid for by the players recognition of the fact that from monday to match end, booze is meant to be off the menu. Booze and training don't mix too well. I'm sure there is only one F in...

Re: Contract Situation

But for the" blazers " most rugby clubs would cease to exist most are volunteers unpaid who devote many hours to enable the game to exist at club level -- many are competent networkers but there are a few who are there for the ego trip. Post matches dinners are either paid for in advance o...

Re: 2024 U20's

Hopes showed up well in the first 15-20 minutes but like all age games most of the boys will shine for a couple of weeks and then fade away as the realty of professional rugby hits them --- they don't have to be as good as existing players they have to be better and that gets harder each year after ...

Re: 6 Nations 2024

His problem will be that it was the same offence repeated twice -- and the offence being one that is considered foul play rather say a repeat of an like off side or failure to release and therefore subject to review to being up graded during the game.

Re: 6 Nations 2024

Lowes kicking actually was not superb he was lucky that the French return of non touch kicks was extremely poor . If you are kicking for touch make touch but kicking long without close followup can frequently be extremely dangerous since it gives away possession and if the return is fast you can be ...

Re: 6 Nations 2024

Without their scrum half France lacked any flair and when the second row went off their morale hit zero only some friendly refereeing gave France the opportunity to score a couple of trys. Thus the match is not a basis for assessing the Irish performance or future performances . CI the major problem...

Re: Harlequins v Ulster Sat Jan 20 1pm KO TNT Sports 2

In certain games dan is going for experience and build Sheridan lacks experience and has a frame which needs to fill out a bit ,he also has to gain confidence in using it -- Look at McCann a year ago he was deservedly searching for a place now he is one of the first names on the sheet . Sheridan in ...

Re: Injury Update

The lad was getting nowhere fast to be honest ahead of him he was facing McCloskey, Hume,Marshall Moore and Postlewaite and in the circumstance it makes a wise decision to be honest . He showed promise and bravery on the pitch, but as I state he lacked the experience of those previously mentioned du...

Re: Harlequins v Ulster Sat Jan 20 1pm KO TNT Sports 2

The replay from a different angle confirms McCloskeys claim the ball didn't go 5 metres at the throw in agreed it was only a matter of inches but the receiver was too close to the touch line. ( never reviewed but quits claimed a knock on before an Ulster try goes immediately for a review and rules o...

Re: Harlequins v Ulster Sat Jan 20 1pm KO TNT Sports 2

The writing was on the wall last year the truth is Burns is only capable of about two good outings a season. Ulster have possibly two of the best wings but when the ball heads towards the wings through the hands of the back line it never gets to the wings running on to the ball they get it standing ...
