Premiership Rugby 21/22 - Rd 2

[Geordie]

Did anyone hear Austin Healy before the game saying he thinks academies should be scrapped. He thinks the players should be spread amongst the championship teams efc...

But dont most academy players actually have dual registration for championship sides anyway...? I know most of the Falcons academy lads are on loan with Rotherham and Doncaster....

Interesting this is prob Martin, JVP and stewards first game against a hostile away crowd

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

It's a shame Morgan never really got a run of game at international level

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Worst game from ford in a age.
100% off to Sale confirmed.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Big brain time from Ford there

Reffell is a beast

Is Kelly even on the pitch?

Both centres being pretty poor.
Granted IMo both our half backs have struggled

He was fairly average last week as well tbh, was expecting a storming season

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Weird how Gloucester have never really had a consistent 10, considering they're a side that likes to go through their backs as much as possible

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

That's one of those weird finishes where he did it completely wrong but it somehow works out lol

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Omg what a try

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

HARRY POTTTER is a wizard

 

[Scotty]

Very nice by Harry Potter

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

That's why IMO he was our best winger last season

FFS i need to shutup

I guess he must have been short of clicks recently!

I think that almost all academy lads would have DR terms with at least one side (otherwise they'd have a full contract). I'd guess that more than half would go to The Championship, but there's plenty of younger lads and tight five players who tend to mature later who get game time at levels 3 and 4.

Did he happen to mention where he expects all these players to get their specialist coaching and development from? It seems to have passed him by how underresourced teams outside the top 13/14 are.

To be fair it was a 30 sec clip when he mentioned it...so didnt really get to explain himself properly...
