OOOF
I wish Prem would just release a damn streaming service with Console apps for TV's etc.
It's literally free money since all games are recorded live. and they even put up the full game on their website like 2 days after.

Either that or Sell Amazon the non TV games rights and give Channel 4 a highlights show.

We didn't deserve to win that tbh

No biltong, less sugar – Manu Tuilagi and ‘bruise brother’ lose stone in bid to avoid injuries — The Times and The Sunday Times

In the Exeter Chiefs away dressing room after last season’s debilitating Gallagher Premiership semi-final loss, Rohan Janse van Rensburg was a worried man. He had just told his Sale Sharks team-mate Manu Tuilagi, one of the most powerful backs in world rugby, that they both needed to lose...

Good news for England if it can work and steer clear of injuries. Lost 6kgs.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

I swear every injury is followed by Manu is at his best condition wise/weight wise.

 

[BPM]

True. Not that I am comparing myself to Manu, but from personal experience, I found I was at my most injury prone when I was fitter and leaner. I came to the conclusion that a wee bit of natural padding is actually a good thing!

Did I read hat Rob du Preez picked up a potentially serious injury? If so, I can't decide whether it's a blow with MacGinty being absent or actually a blessing in disguise with Wilkinson looking promising?

Looked to hurt his shoulder, didn't look too bad at the time though - maybe something done to the ligaments(?) that showed up on scans?

We really do have the slowest backline in the league
11/13/14/15 all running through treacle

Frustrating cause we're passing the ball well, but Bath can just shut it down with ease

And surely with a go forward like Manu you need runners on his shoulder to take advantage of gaps. Where is Ashton

Premiership Rugby just really has no interest in growing their supporter base

 

[EdBirch]

BP win for us, hopefully we can build on this

So badly managed.
Unless Prem rugby are in the middle of negotiations with Channel 4 or something.

Jesus...Carl Fearn's picture. Wouldn't look out of place next to the likes of Borthwick.

Fingers crossed the bump in the road is CVC realising that existing provisions were terrible, getting involved and putting something lucrative / useful to the end user into place.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Rough, that was definitely a try

 

[Reiser99]

Yep Quins got away with that.

 

[Reiser99]

Who was it who said refs need a pre-season too. I concur.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Allen looking like the best signing of the season already

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

It's looking pretty clear so far that the Bristol v sarries game was a outliner in terms of tries and these new laws. (Granted not playing in mud helps)

 

[Reiser99]

Radwan needs to be starting for England in the Autumn. Capable of creating magic or finishing at close range.

 

[Reiser99]

Bloody hell...
