Not if any one else offers money, it won't!

He really did 'choose' an unfortunate time to be injured didn't he. I was a huge fan but with the likes of Vianu, Peterson, Thompstone, Betham, Tate etc it was no wonder Tigers realised that he had a hard way back and released him so he could actually get the game time he deserved. Given Leinster's ...

Jack Daniels and Vimto?

That is revolting. You should be ashamed of yourself.

It always amused me that Vimto is an anagram of vomit - quite appropriate really!

I see in today's Rugby Paper that he is being touted for job with the RFU!
"Pro nobis, ut Deus"

Watched Brumbies v Reds yesterday and he looked quite sharp: was interesting to see that although he didn't place kick he did take all the other re-start kicks - kick offs, 22s, kicks for touch/corner etc. Two potential problems he'll have in England though: 1.

He was still serving at the time he retired from Rugby - left Tigers in 1997, retired 1998 and left RAF in 1999.

Ours is the sort of group where we could have some excellent performances and still fail to qualify!

Sticking to the actual theme of the thread there are a number of scenarios: 1. Any future employment legislation will be broadly similar to the current in the long run and there will be little actual change. 2. Or all the current exceptions which make overseas quotas virtually meaningless will no lo...

Its clear to me neither Toomua or Pietersen were going to be here for pre season nor indeed the start of the new season. To have 2 such big name signings subject to this arrangement through out their tenure at Tigers is at best inconvenient but no doubt was a contractual precondition. If Marcus is ...

Australia's and South Africa's final games in the Rugby Championship are on 8 Oct, so if they are playing throughout the contest they ain't arriving in summer!!

.... When comforting a spelling or grammar Nazi , I usually say softly, "there, their, they're"... Surely you mean an accuracy focused enthusiast ! :smt001 Especially as I am a nerd like that and I am not German, a socialist worker or a nationalist. I suspect what really winds me up is th...

Surely it was 30 metres - it's now 3 days since the event and the tale should have grown by now!?

Dickyp if you want to see someone with misguided views regarding Brexit then I suggest you look in your mirror, I feel totally disgusted with my generation as I approach my 70th Birthday next January. We always were misguidedly the me generation and sod anyone else in the 1960's and we are still th...
