Also thoroughly enjoyed the comms team. Benjamin Kayser is so excitable and enthusiastic about rugby and Brian O'Driscoll calls it fairly and complimentary for both sides. :smt038

Re: CONNACHT (A) - Saturday 15th January 2022 - 3-15pm

Wow that was a frustrating watch from around the 10th minute up until the 79th but credit for sticking in their and coming away with the points at the end. Personally thought the referee was very consistent aside from a couple of scrum calls. I thought Leicester looked frantic and trying too hard, m...

Re: BRISTOL (H) - 5th June 2021 (NO CITINGS)

Re: Yellow Cards At The Scrum

I agree with the above. I don't think the laws need adapting or adding to which in my opinion could be susceptible to further tactical strategies developing, as somebody will always find a loophole or a workaround. For me it is just the officiating of the existing laws, which sadly we were let down ...

Re: BRISTOL (H) - 5th June 2021

Who told Tempest, "You're not strong enough" at the end? I thought it was Youngs Both were off at the time, was it on the way to the tunnel? I'd presume Tom over Ben. I believe it was Tom, after Tempest retreated from the fracas at the end and backtracked further into the pitch. There was...

Can't believe he missed out King Leonidas from the Isle of Naboombu! A feisty character and would need to keep his temper in check, but a charmer with the referee! :smt005

Re: Who’s your pick for Lions 2021

Kruis may be another not being talked about who has a chance of going. Just look at the England pack missing him and Lauchbury and it looks a different animal A good point! Has Kruis been operating at a decent enough standard though and be fit enough? On the flip side to that he might be fresher an...

Re: Who’s your pick for Lions 2021

Good shout on Joe! I remember him outplaying "The Warrior" in the 6N game leading up to the 2017 tour when he was incredibly left out. I remember the furore at the time,definitely one of the worse none picks of recent times. You're quite right, it was a very controversial call (although s...

Re: Who’s your pick for Lions 2021

I'm not a follower of the James Ryan hype, which I think is enhanced by the media who see him as the PO'C successor. Admittedly I haven't seen a lot of him other than the internationals, but when I have seen him he comes across fairly anonymous and in the Autumn Nations Cup I felt he was lucky to st...
