Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

I recognise that it has been a difficult week for Jamie George with the loss of his mother but I would contrast his behaviour with that of Finn Russell. At every break he was chatting with the ref, even sharing a water bottle with him at one point. Not remonstrating, just clarifying a few things...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - Crocodile McKeller: Men at Work

So you want our scrum back 5 to be made up of 3 locks a 6 and a 7. Certainly an interesting opinion not one I share. As I’m sure you know this isn’t junior rugby where players can just swap positions there is a hell of a lot more to it Agreed, it's not junior rugby, it's professional, full-time job...

Re: Trailfinders a sad indictment of rugby

American football survives quite well without promotion/ relegation. On paper, London Welsh's move looked like a good bet, Oxford being a place that has traditionally supported rugby and, with Worcester, Saints or Reading Irish being the nearest, a bit of a desert. Clearly, the market research by We...

Re: Next seasons season ticket

I have kept my season ticket all through Covid and a house move to so far away that I rarely visit MWWR now and, if I do, it requires a hotel stay. If I can afford it, I'll keep it but.... pressure is mounting. My income will never increase now. I love the club and the experience; I'm hoping I can ...

Re: Trailfinders a sad indictment of rugby

From what I could see on TV it looked a splendid small ground. The pitch looked horrendous. It looked like one of those 3G/4G pitches that you see at schools when they spend a shed load of money laying it but forget to pay for its upkeep. The clue being how the players were covered in rubber crumb ...

Re: Trailfinders a sad indictment of rugby

From what I could see on TV it looked a splendid small ground. As was pointed out on commentary, since the demise of LI and the move by Saracens there is no Prem rugby in the area. BUT, as London Welsh found out, there was no prem rugby in the Oxford area but the support did not materialise despite ...

Re: Ealing PRC game info

Regardless of the result this has been a shocking performance. Don’t deserve the win. Agree with this. I wonder if some contracts will be looked at. Based on one game? No. That would be nuts. Based over the season as a whole? I would hope so and I’m sure DMK won’t hold back if he feels the need. So...

Re: Ealing PRC game info

Ealing defo got the momentum now. All about whether we can hold on to 80 without conceding, which is unlikely. Even if we win, this has been a properly poor performance overall by most Regardless of the result this has been a shocking performance. Don’t deserve the win. Agree with this. I wonder if...

Re: Ealing PRC game info

IF we win, is this the team we would have to field against a fully loaded Gloc? No idea but if it is then cannot see that this side could compete with a full strength Glos team Surely we’d go stronger for a final? Including Cronin/Montoya/wiese/youngs/pollard minimum I was querying it in terms of e...
