    2023-2024 transfers

    I didn't see this move coming either. In fact many of us were hoping to offload Owen Williams rather than Billy, so there you go. I'm sorry to see him go as I think he'd have benefited from playing understudy to Cips. His game has been criticised as being too one-dimensional and he is rather...

    ‘Landers/Chiefs - what the actual **** just happened in that first half?

    [2018 Super Rugby] Round 17: 29-30 June 2018

    After England’s disappointing tour of SA I’m really pleased SR is back. My predictions for this week: - Reds - Waratahs - Highlanders - Hurricanes - Bulls - Sharks - Jaguares

    Do Ryanair fly to Shannon from Bristol? I didn’t think they did.

    The same could be said for Robson and, to a lesser extent, Woody and Earle. Why bother taking them on tour?

    So EJ decided not to roll the dice and try something different, other than Cips in at 10. #fml

    Heineken & Challenge Cup 2018/19 Pool Draws

    Thanks fellas. I'm already planning for a weekend trip to Ireland for the Munster game, whenever it might be. Half an hour on Google has informed me that Thomond Park is in Limerick and I can fly from Bristol to Dublin, hiring a car to drive the rest of the journey.

    Munster away could be great fun. That’s deffo the one I’m looking forward to. I’ll have to check a map to see where Castres is........

    England EPS 2017/18 edition.

    That’s pretty much the team I wanna see, and I’m not jesting! I’d have Faz over Loz but other than that....

    [June Tests 2018: 2nd Test] South Africa vs. England (16/06/2018)

    **** it, for the last game I’d go with: Marler LC-D Williams Lunchbox Isiekwe Shields Curry Simmonds Robson Cips Earle Faz Daly May Woody Not sure about the bench but it would contain Hepburn, Spencer, Itoje, Slade & Brown. Deffo no place for Youngs, Hughes & Ford.

    Fair point. Perhaps I ought to have said “immature”.

    Agreed. We’d still be crap if we had been based ourselves on the Highveld, atop Mt Kilimanjaro or even the moon.

    ^^^^ This. I think there is more going on psychologically than first thought. Taking the gruesome twosome (Maro & Mako) as an example they’ve been thrust into the limelight on the back of decent club form - form where their club has dominated. They’ve enjoyed almost instant success and been...

    He got better. One or two silly penalties on the first 20 mins but lineouts were solid and got the odd turnover. He’s still half the player he was a couple of years ago.

    Anyone else think Mako’s having a ‘mare? Get him off.

    [June Tests 2018: 1st Test] South Africa vs. England (09/06/2018)

    He doesn’t do anything exceptionally; he’s a solid all-rounder. He’s playing better and getting the plaudits because he’s part of a decent back three and because the pressure is off him. He’s enjoying his rugby.
