I’m not that opposed to an extended ruck it’s the adding of 1 or 2 more bodies when the ball is already at the back that annoys me

Watched highlights of the Castres Montpellier game, which from what I could see Montpellier should have won.
No sign of Sam Simmonds from what I could see. Is he injured ?

Employment law may well prevent the termination of an individual contract until the process has been completed but it doesn't prevent the employer from bringing in a replacement on a temporary basis. Nor does it prevent the employer bringing in someone to take on the role of a failing coach. It mig...

Wow this is serious isn’t it !? After multiple comments on McKellar on multiple threads we now have a dedicated thread to lay into him ! Terrific! I’m sure that was the OP intention but there are enough wise heads on here to look at the bigger picture. As others have said in 12 months time there wi...

I agree with the comments regarding the improvement in Dickson, he is developing into one of our best referees. I have been watching rugby for a long time and remember early Barnes and Owen, even as experienced referees they still.made some questionable decisions but on the whole were good. Probabl...

I agree about next season. What is the target? If we get 6th then arguably much better than this season. But is 6th spot really going to be acceptable or is the target more likely going to be top 4. Top 4 would be a massive uphill battle given the quality of other teams this season. That is the key...

That says more about the general standard of officiating than Dickson himself.
He is considerably better than he was, but he's no Barnes or Owens.

That’s akin to saying that not every footballer is Ronaldo or Messi

For every Matt O'Connor , there is a Pat Howard or a Bob Dwyer....For me its about ability not nationality..... For me, jury out on Dan McK 'till this time next season. Totally agree with this and if we haven’t moved on significantly by that time then calls for him to move on would be correct imo

I felt sorry for Atkinson I was told Gloucester turned a corner!!! Looking at their side they’ve rested a few but 85-0 down with 10 minutes to go not good They have but it’s not that terrible a squad I hope they get thrashed v sharks next week Or even the week after 🤣. If Sharks are able to prepare...

Helps when you can bring Maui, Dann, Isekwe , McFarland, Billy V and Goode off the bench

So basic it was only just caught by slow motion camera.

Are you a Dickson hater a Sarries hater or both

Mckellar comment at the recent fans evening is telling. Next season I get to work with who I want to

First of all your bias against Dickson is there for all to see he is one of the best officials around and Brizzle were lucky to get away without a penalty try.
Secondly 50 minutes in Itoje and Earl both in the bin. How do you like them apples

Highlights on YouTube. First half the pitch was fine and weather looked ok.
Rain came in the 2nd half and must have been a Monsoon when it came
