Re: Ben Youngs (YBY)
His nickname is Lenny and he told Rugby World: “I wish I had a story for it but I’m the youngest of 28 first cousins and we all have the same sort of nickname – Benny became Lenny and it stuck. Everyone calls me that now.”

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat
Sadly but realistically it's hard to see anything but an Ireland romp.
England are no mugs and it's sport. Bit of luck here and there, maybe a red card for Ireland (although they are generally very discipled, maybe we'll click.
Other two games much more interesting though tbh.

Re: The Rolling Maul Podcast - Special Guests - Latest: Andrea Pinchen
Not sure what people expect from such an interview. Season ticket wise: stuck between a rock and a hard place. If they put them up after Covid there would be an uproar. So they've held off and now other things have made it even more challenging - so they've bitten the bullet. Will be challenging ini...

Re: Trailfinders a sad indictment of rugby
Worth noting a similarity in the regionality of rugby in France and the make of the clubs in the League. I posted this in 2021: Yes, La Rochelle is clearly the Top 14 team with the lowest number of actual local players - although they are home to one Elissalde family, so it's not like no rugbyman wa...

Re: Trailfinders a sad indictment of rugby
What you would call negativity is what I would call realism. I just feel you get in a negative mental spiral with this stuff. Anyhow, a rabbit hole which we should probably stop going down. There are plenty of unalterable reasons why Prem rugby is not as commercially successful as the French pro le...

Re: Trailfinders a sad indictment of rugby
As I say too much negativity, it can't be done, it is inevitable, most people don't want to watch/understand rugby type attitude. Mistakes have been made in the past - let's learn from them. It's important to understand the strength of other clubs is important to us as our health is to them. Being v...

Re: Trailfinders a sad indictment of rugby
All of this has been discussed before.
There is too much negativity IMO. The Prem is great to watch and there are some great stadiums and clubs in it. We just need to build it out a bit and make better use of what is there.
We just have to look over the channel to see what we have to do.

Re: Trailfinders a sad indictment of rugby
But again we are back to putting some money and effort into making the Championship a better competition so that the gap in terms of facilities and standards is not so great.

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat
Isn't one of the more interesting things in life the contrasts and the unexpected.
If you've been out in the sticks for a few days going to the City can be very exhilarating and vice versa.
So it as when you have a bit of kick tennis and then suddenly one team runs it out from the back.
