State of Welsh and Scottish Rugby

Just shows the state of rugby in Scotland and Wales

Ospreys playing Dragons in a big derby match and hardly any fans have turned out to watch. :roll:

Apparently similar in Embra v Weegies match yesterday.

Stadiums nearly empty.

Re: Any word on the Academy?

... when defending you are responding to THEIR script, some of it is legal and some of it is illegal, its the illegal which creates the opportunities for the backs. Well obviously ... we all know that in the history of the game no one has ever scored an entirely legal try. :roll: Every single try e...

Re: Guinness PRO14 season has been suspended in response to the evolving COVID-19 outbreak until....

Didn't think suspensions or other penalties with no end date were allowed under Human Rights laws?

League should just plead guilty, wear a nice suit and not eat the biscuits, and maybe suspension will be cut by a few weeks.

For those that thought Marler's tickling was just a harmless joke, consider this - if he did that in any other workplace or any other place for that matter, he would find himself on a sexual assault charge and upon conviction (it was caught on TV after all), signing the sex offender's register, and ...
