Re: Is this season a Farce with the cancellations

I hope you're not lumping anyone who dares question the situation either because I and many have just been totally vindicated with regards to the PCR testing after the WHO recent statement on them. I hate the fact that there's no middle ground and how you are labelled if you dare go against the gra...

Re: Ealing beat Saracens

PRC under 23 with a maximum of 3 seniors in the 23 sounds good to me. Gives Injured players a route back to get match fitness. I have to agree with Scott1 the PRC should be separate from the first team squads and used for academy, development of the young players and the strict rule of a max of 3 s...

Now that would seem to be a fact.

I recall that Mr Griffin has posted some interesting points about the financial success of Exeter and how it has been achieved.

Re: Explain this to me

Not sure Muster fans would be happy about being called a British team.... Is the Island of Ireland not in the British Isles? It’s not part of the UK or Great Britain - nor is Northern Ireland but that’s national boundaries rather than geography. So it depends on whether the term was being used in i...

Re: SARRIES FUTURE

Just found this,how convenient! Many immediately interpreted this as a requirement that a promoted club must comply with the Regulations for two consecutive seasons in order to qualify for promotion. Of course, given that Saracens must be in breach this season (2019/20), this would mean they would ...

Re: Borthwick

Just a thought, might be way off the mark, but... we've all heard of GDPR, right? Possibly but doubt it. At this level would think contracts allow clubs to comment on player performance and availability I thought that was a good point but the only related items in the standard form contract concern...

I'm not much of a poker player but I wouldn't mind a hand or two with anybody who thinks it's a good idea to show the rest of the table their cards as they're dealt.

Re: Autumn Nations Cup

The result is they lost haha. If they really thought they were gonna win the match with tactics like that they need their heads looking at 😂 I notice you won't answer the question. It is a near certainty that the tactic gave Italy a better result, ie a closer score, than they would have otherwise a...

Re: Autumn Nations Cup

In response to comments about the 'Ruckgate' match, it's true that, when Eddie Jones had promised to take Italy "to the cleaners", the tactic did prevent an 80-0 drubbing some were predicting. However the long-term impact of the game was merely a change of laws by World Rugby to stop it h...

Re: Autumn Nations Cup

Yes, because I would have thought going into a game (certainly at professional international level) without thoughts about trying to win the game is wrong on all fronts, regardless of who you are and the opposition you are playing. Perhaps they did misguidedly think it might actually win the game a...

Re: Autumn Nations Cup

Still comfortably beaten though so in all it was a complete waste of time. Added to a dreadful spectacle to begin with and the Italians wouldve learned nothing. It was a legal tactic that worked very well against a staggeringly stupid England for far longer than anyone would have anticipated. Don't...
