More turmoil in Wales

The latest proposal for 2nd tier Welsh clubs has caused splits and acrimony being seen as worthless and leading to the financial collapse of some old clubs. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/sport/football/pontypridd-rfc-label-wru-s-new-league-as-anything-but-elite-with-no-commercial-rationale/ar-BB1kzauh?o...

Re: Saracens - Harlequins TMO

I'm still a bit split on this. On the one hand, it is interference by someone who isn't an official; on the other, it's an extra pair of expert eyes keeping players safe. After all, it is still the officials who make the decision.

With less games we need to invest in quality not quantity. I agree, take the strength in depth that Sarries have as an example and if we do truly spend upto the cap then we should be signing quality not quantity. Watson is very bad business and Rogerson, Cracknell, Dolly and Hatherall best days are...

Re: Saracens - Harlequins TMO

It isn't just the audio feed though, is it? Instant replays with slow motion and magnification also bring incidents to light that would have been missed. And, in France, there is the constant inability of the TV director to find any incriminating evidence against the home side. It depends whether yo...

I don't think Weise can be criticised for his performance tonight. Gloucester clearly targeted him and closed him down early.

We're now down to 7th. Bristol overtake us on points difference. Plus there are the other matches to be played this weekend. :smt009

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

Tommy Reffell led the turnover stats in the 6N.
There also seems to be some confusion about how to pronounce his name; is the emphasis on the first syllable or the second?
