Re: Heineken Cup no nearer a resolution

My point was that it was clear there were divisions and problems within the ERC as long as two years ago. I would have expected the heads of the unions and the IRB to have got involved and knocked some heads together. It just seems the structures and governance have not worked. Why can't the IRB sen...

Re: Heineken Cup no nearer a resolution

To me how people are appointed to the ERC and what the relationship with the IRB and to some extent the unions is still a mystery.

Re: Heineken Cup no nearer a resolution

The club structure under each union is what they created or sanctioned. And in each case they have to work together, in terms of providing for the national team and the broader game. Unions and clubs are intertwined. Who is the ERC accountable to? Their remit is to maintain and run the pan-European ...

Re: Where will we stand on 1st Feb 2014

Personally I would be looking nearer time and thinking about each competition separately. The HC the home game against Montpellier is critical. If we lose at home then it is hard to see us picking doing the job away the week after. If we win we don't have to win away and can relax a little. No point...

Re: Heineken Cup no nearer a resolution

We await a statement from the LNR. If they bail then the PRL will be cooked. If they stay with the Champions Cup they will be in showdown with their union. We are perhaps at the beginning of the end.

Re: Heineken Cup no nearer a resolution

If the French clubs bail on the PRL then the English guys will be seriously pee'd of I would imagine. The French chief (can't remember his name) was so adamant. Can they really be bailing out? If they do, then I would imagine relations between the two organisations is going to go through the floor. ...

Re: Heineken Cup no nearer a resolution

My reading of all this latest shenanigans is that it looks like the French clubs may flip back into line behind their union. If this happens, maybe even if not, I can see the Welsh regions doing the same. Unless the Champions Cup is much further down the road than it seems. With the unions and the I...

Re: Tigers Vs. Irish

Personally, aside from Cole, I don't see why you wouldn't put all the England boys back in. They must be chomping at the bit. I think there are one or two have stated a claim from the LV matches. Gibson for one.

Name calling

I'm fairly new here so I don't wish to upset any old guard but I've noticed a prevalance of name calling on the boards. Examples being Stains, Cashton and Fazlet but there are a few more. Perhaps I am having a sense of humour failure but it all seems rather childish to me. Isn't rugby is meant to be...

Re: Who do we go to if flood goes to France in the summer ?

Regarding those AI stats and the wider point. I remember reading an article a while back about how the game had become much more defence orientated. Possession isn't important. You basically let teams blow themselves out, and then hit them.
