Re: New coaching structure?

2 things Saracens beat Leinster well but personally I wouldn’t describe it as a Demolition, Tigers at Exeter first game of the season was a demolition. Also I totally agree that Ackerman has done a fine job at Gloucester as has Boyd at Northampton, but even taking that into account they both lost b...

Re: Sir Barnes

I don’t think we need yet another law introduced to the game. A player makes a tackle and when the tackled player is on the ground, the tackler releases. That’s the way it’s always been. It’s a very simple law and one that doesn’t need to be made more complicated. There’s far too many complicated la...

Re: Sir Barnes

You watch your game BFG the rest of us will watch ours How anyone could see the Nowell incident as accidental just beggars belief! The bloke is clearly held and bent backwards on the floor by the tackled player and it's a clear penalty and potentially worthy of further sanction. If the tackler rele...

Re: Sir Barnes

I sometimes wonder why some people bother watching rugby as whatever the subject in discussion is, they always have something negative to say about it.

Sticking to topic, Barnes is the bet ref we have in this country and one of, if not the best in the world.

Re: Weekend match thread - 31st May 2019

As I said before,it was not a world beating pack this season but would we have finished 11th under Baxter and co? Not a chance!!! It's kind of a pointless claim to make really as we will never actually know will we! Something called common sense tells me that if experienced pro players can't be rea...

Re: England XV v Barbarians

When you’ve got Jim Mallinder as the coach, then that tells you everything!

If he’s being lined up to replace Eddie Jones then god help us!

Re: Weekend match thread - 31st May 2019

I don’t know, I don’t think spotting a knock on makes up for not giving a yellow card and penalty try if I’m honest.

Re: Weekend match thread - 31st May 2019

Should have been a yellow card for Waratahs there and a penalty try awarded to the Rebels. No arm tackle which was deliberate and cynical.

How the ref didn’t notice that straight away is ludicrous.

Re: Weekend match thread 31 May

I’ve been watching the Blues v Bulls game for the past 10 minutes and I’m not overly impressed. I’ve watched a few games over recent weeks and none have been as good as people make out. Poor defending, knock ons and teams not really getting anywhere. All of this in stadiums 3/4 empty. I don’t get th...

Re: Boring Sarries, boring Exeter

The only thing I find boring is the fact that it’s these two teams in the final, highlights the collective atrocity of the teams below them, which BT Sport spurs up as making the league the best in the world, it’s absolute drivel. Did you find it boring between 99-02 when Tigers won the league 4 ti...

Re: Geordie up before the beak...three week ban!

Sam, I totally agree with your comments. Murphy was stupid, should have known better and been more disciplined. He has done the club no favours at all, and frustration is no excuse. Players (including he himself) and officials have all shown themselves to be less than competent on occasion, and swe...

Re: Geordie up before the beak...three week ban!

I had a look at the Bath forum and Gary Gold has made some remarks about Mike Ford getting in at the back of Murphy, some other posters quoting that when Murphy is serving his ban Tigers will get some quality coaching until he returns. How the mighty have fallen☹️ Also, there was a time when everyo...
