Re: Ben Youngs

Ben is only 20 and has a lot to learn yesterday showed that. I am more frustrated with the coaches though how can we keep bringing on scrum halfs through our acadamy that cant pass. The most important job a 9 has is to get the ball away clean and fast to the first reciever. Harry cant pass Ben cant...

Re: Are Guinness Premiership teams being held back by England?

Anglo Welsh club encounters are traditionally sell-outs. The Magners league can be left to Irish, Scots, Italians and Newport for all I care. It's nothing but a series of glorified training sessions anyway. Cardiff, Ospreys and Llanelli would more than hold their own against the best clubs in Engla...

English clubs would never jump into bed with the Irish due to central contracts.

Re: Are Guinness Premiership teams being held back by England?

It would be more lucrative to replace the less successful clubs like Leeds and Worester with Cardiff, the Ospreys and Llanelli in an Anglo-Welsh league. I dont see why it would be. Where would these "replaced" teams go? What would happen to the Magners League? Why should a few teams with ...

Re: Ospreys only get a fine

The Ospreys will surely appeal. Byrne's ban will hopefully be cut to one week making him available for the Six Nations opener. Afterall Dan Luger wasn't banned in 2003 for the same transgression against Samoa in the World Cup.

Re: Are Guinness Premiership teams being held back by England?

Do you think that the salary cap should be removed so that the English clubs can compete with the French?

Re: The reason 12T hasn't been in the side?

Leicester would have been in the 1/4 finals this year if they had a decent scrum half. The 9's were the differences between the two sides last weekend. They are certainly missing Dupuy.

Re: #16 Speaks - all Ospreys discussion here please

Leicester didn't exactly play in the spirit of the game last year either. In the HEC semi final against Cardiff, with a penalty shoot out approaching, they ripped the bandage from Harry Ellis' head so that they could blood bin him for Dupuy!
