Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

What doesn’t seem to be reflected, in the headlines at least, is the fact that Scotland threw that game away by trying to sit back on a lead and play no rugby letting the French in for their try. That’s where it was lost for me, sadly. If that were England they would be getting pelters. Well, Englan...

Excellent character.
In fairness we were 10-0 after 30 so it wasn’t too shabby! I’ll take a win away from home however it comes.

Re: Alan Dickens - Tigers lack of attack coach.

Isn’t Matt Smith in charge of the backs?

Re: Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2022

Unlike most on this board I’m a big Farrell fan. Still I don’t see this as a big moment where RFU need to revisit eligibility rules as all journos claiming We have 3 fly-half’s in England who would walk into most international squads. The Farrell-Ford era is over and it’s time for the Smiths. I agr...

Good luck to him, I say. Maybe he can succeed for Racing where Finn, Johnny Sexton and Dan Carter failed…

Re: Other matches - 19th - 21st January 2024

Just got home from the Bath match in a sold out Stade Ernest Wallon. An excellent game and Bath oh so nearly had the nerve to snatch from Toulouse and I think they deserved the losing bp which may have given them a home match in the next round. Jack Willis not being available for England is a trave...

Well, I’m just heading off now to the match with more hope than expectation. But you never know. It’ll be fun whatever.

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

So would I, but that still doesn’t paper over the fact that he hasn’t shone in what is a pretty shoddy Gloucester team. I just don’t see how Borthers could pick him right now. Show some form, which I think he can do, then that’s a different matter. It’s one thing to bring a few untried kids into the...

Yeah. Listening to various interviews SB has given, he’s definitely a big fan of Alfie.

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

That squad is all the place for me, opportunity missed. So who are you picking instead ? I wouldn't have selected players who have zero chance of making the next RWC. You get few free hits arms an International Coach, Borthwick is wasting his. O’Mahony has been named captain of the Ireland side. He...

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

In his interview Borthwick has stated that Barbeary’s non-selection at this point was influenced by the disciplinary issue as he will ‘definitely’ be featuring in the team in the future.

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

Zammit away to America with immediate effect. A big shock but I guess Gloucester looked at their league position and saw that there was nothing to play for so have cut him off the wage bill straight away. I suspect that all parties may have held on to the end of the season if Gloucester were challe...

Re: Other matches - 12-14th January 2023

Sean Jansen has put on a bit of timber! Playing Number 8 he’s scored a fab long distance try for Connaught.
