Interesting that S. Jones (Times) had wind of this decision.
Of course not - unless of course the IRB paid their taxi fee to the hearing. Trust they had nice biscuits.......

Re: Now 2 weeks for a headbutt

I am stunned by this decision. I think it all the worse for NZ naming him for this weekend's game.

Honestly can not understand how the panel can have come to this decision. Will make very interesting reading.

Now 2 weeks for a headbutt

Total disgrace. The IRB might as well give them the cup now, talk about bowing to pressure.

I started the young spikes on classical music early. Lots of Led Zep, The Clash, Pink Floyd and the like. :smt002

Re: Birthday Presents

It is my birthday on the 7th and sadly due to geography (how I hated that subject when I was an school) I can't make the Australia game which would have been nice. I'll have my team out on that morning (I coach them - U16s) and I'll settle for an excellent performance from them all in their match. I...

Re: England v New Zealand

Noticed on the saffacens forum that they are bemoaning the fact that the RFU master plan to exclude their players has happened........

......yawn.

Onto the team I agree that Fourie & Hape really shouldn't be part of an England team. Not sure if I'd pick Easter either. The rest are fine.

Re: Richard Blaze announces rugby retirement

Totally gutted for him. A genuinely nice guy - meet him at Oval Park and when he came up to my club for one of the Tigers courses. Spent an age with the kids chatting to them about the game and life at Tigers. Best wishes for the future. Rizzo - will these be passed on to Richard in the same way the...

More than welcome. I'm around with our U16s (as I coach them).

Re: You meet the nicest people in the most unlikely of places

Good question James, normally see plenty of Tigers shirts in my home town (also over in Norfolk) but have bumped into people hiking in Saas-fee in Tigers shirts (awesome place in Switzerland) which was possibly the most remote place. Have also meet people in Germany, on the isle of Arran (again a st...

Re: Richard Blaze

Saw Richard at the Tiger's course during the summer and he suggested he'd be fit and ready for selection Oct/Nov time. Obviously this is little more than a chat in a rugby club car park but here's hoping.

Pictures from Saturday

I'm looking for a bit of a favour from anyone who was at the game on Saturday. Both my boys were asked to run the mikes on the sidelines for ESPN and i'd sky+'d the game. Sadly when I got home it would appear user error had struck and there was nothing on the box. As it's not every day I'm going to ...

Re: Leicester v Exeter

Think the refs placement wasn;t the best at times and he and the assistant missed crossing for the last chiefs try. However, at 20-7 down and with the lineout failing almost 100% of the time it was looking grim. If I'm honest chiefs deserved something for the display. They carry on like this and the...

Re: Quality of ESPN Coverage

As it was on freeview this weekend I tried to Sky+ it whilst we were there but nothing. Gutted, had both my boys on the pitch for the whole game too......
