Re: Pro 14 2018/19
What happened to all the final round fixtures kicking off at the same time? Edinburgh are potentially afforded a significant advantage in pool B.

It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.

Haven't we already judged the Welsh to be a shower of filthy sheep shagging gowls. What further judgement is required I ask you?Neill_M wrote:

Worth a read. Q&A with Greg Garner the boss of the Pro 14 refs.

Thanks for that link Neil, an interesting article I thought.
I was interested in his 'one law change', can't see the downside in making the 9 retire to back of scrum however I do think he completely dodged the question when asked to explain why crocked feeds continue. I see no reason to link Matt Hampton's terrible injury with delivering a straight feed, that law doesn't need changing it simply needs enforcing.

So actually changing round the seeding for the conferences for next season produced less changes than if they had left it alone ?kingofthehill wrote:Scarlets swap for ospreys.Neill_M wrote:Conference A
