Some on here seem to have forgotten about tomorrow's game.
The results for Sale and Chiefs are about as bad as it could be for us. We have to get 4 points minimum tomorrow or our season will be down to the LV and getting into position 5 or 6.
To be honest, if Ed Slater, Manu, Cole and OW were playing I would have more confidence, as it is I am anxious.
Me too! I think when you get to the stage where someone else's results are as important as your own.....i.e. You need someone to do you a favour...the brown stuff has hit the round whirly thing!

Smudge my son bought me some Penderyn Welsh Malt, it is minging.., so I'm stone cold sober just now.
Thanks for the warning! I'll stick to me Lambs Navy Rum now my last bottle of Glenmorangie special has gone. I did find the abominable practice of priming my taste buds with Laphroaig before hitting the Glenmorangie made the latter taste so so very good I forgot bad results. No doubt a Scotsman would eviscerate me for such malpractice!

You have to touch it with water for the magic to occur; swigging it direct from the bottle, especially Cask Strength, is not to be recommended.

Well off topic but if you want a holiday of a lifetime Islay and the Western Isles are truly memorable, there's even a beach rugby festival on Islay.

Sitting in bed at the Madjeski hotel and looking out the weather looks fine, so still hoping for a dry match.
Interesting the different views on results this weekend. If we get 5 points we can be equal on points with 3rd place. However 4 points still makes us 6th but very much in touch. I am happy for Saints to beat everybody and hopefully become over confident. All we have to do is continue to win our matches and get a few more TBPs.
Looking forward to the game. :smt026 :smt026

Anyone who puts "Welsh" and "Malt" in the same sentence wants something unmentionable doing to them with the wrong end of a pineapple. Stick to Remy...............or something similar! Last two shots left in my bottle for today. I hope I'll be drinking them in celebration after the game but feel they may go to quell the nerves before.

Looking at the table any other season, I would have a wide grin on my face knowing that we would be there when it mattered and even fancy a home semi-final. This year, I am hopeful but very nervous. A good win today would certainly put us on track.

Asbach - Where do you buy yours - Urbrand or Uralt.

Always seems expensive at Everards shop etc.

9-0 up after a good first 20 minutes. Burns' tactical kicking has been excellent so far and we just destroyed their scrum to such an extent that their prop was riding on the top of it like a crowdsurfer in the moshpit.

Still nervous. Tigers have the weather at their backs this half.
I am neither clever enough to understand nor stupid enough to play this game
