So, to turn the question round, should the Six Nations have promotion / relegation with a lower league Romania, Spain, Georgia etc. so at least they can have something to play for and more opp to generate some TV revenues by tying it to the 6 Nations? I personally think that there should be relegat...

Doesn't he already has his own business? I'm sure he'll be putting more time into that. From memory his business is to do with basically managing and organising any kind of event for people from decorating a house (builders, fitters, leckies, plasterers, painter/decorators, renovators) to evenings i...

Re: We need to approach our season differently

the treble is totaly attainable and i can only think of maybe 2 teams who can do it - us and Llanelli Scarlets don't stand a chance! They may have the team to beat us and any other opponent but they don't have the squad . As soon as they lose Popham they are a lackluster side, he is their linchpin ...

They do have a tendancy of picking a stadium long in advance and then a club from the same country will make the final, so it'll never be held in Scotland at that would always be a neutral venue :mr.green:

Personally I don't see much wrong with how Tigers approached the season. The big names played in the "big" games and the fringe players got plenty of game time in the EDF and in the "easier" league matches. I say "easier" because as many players say the GP is such a tou...

Cynically I thought it was a clever tactic - rather than trying to stop or pull down the rolling maul cause an off the ball fracar and the ref'll intervene stopping play. Obviously can only be done once a match but a great way to rile an oponent and maybe make him do something daft like throw a punc...

Better side yes, fair and square no, but rugby isn't about fair its about what you can get away with.

Cheat and cheat until you get caught, then cheat some more!

Felt it a bit fitting to dig this thread out. No plan B today, the 2 cross fields from Goode to Alex both looked threatening and did the grubber through for Hipkiss (or was it by Hipkiss for Ollie?) Most of the time tried punching the holes to zero effect, Worsley is too good at tackling/slowing dow...

Same day different ref could have been very different, from the first 30 seconds Wasps could have been down to 14 men for 10 minutes after Lewsey shouldered someone with no effort to use the arms. The first try could have been a Leicester scrum about 30 seconds before but the ref missed the drop at ...

Favourites - Treble - What do you think ?

Seeing as we are the only team that can do the treble I assume we are favourites :lol:

I am not a shareholder as I was only a junior member at the time. Nice to know I am not the only person that missed out. I can understand the club not giving out shares to junior members as some people could have bought a load of junior season tickets however the club should have given shares to ju...

Who says they don't? There has always been rumors of stupid "bonuses" like an extra £50K for modeling for a photo of the new training t-shirt, or for significant others to do a 5 minute shift in the shop. I'm sure the players also get bonuses off the sponsors - suits form NEXT, PCs from HP...

In league you can rip the ball in the tackle but only if one on one - so its better to be isolated and nailed by 4 or 5 men as then they can't steal it whereas a 1 on 1 with there winger you can lose the ball. The lack of scrums and lineouts obviously puts a prop right off :mad: We use league as a w...

That is the rule but Johno has been given a suspension for throwing a punch despite being yellow carded by the ref at the time. The RFU didn't mind breaking their own rules then....
