Premiership Rugby 23/24 - Round 15

[TRF_Olyy]

Apart from IFW, I can't think of anyone recent? I can think of plenty going the other way …

Yeah saw an article about how the ex-Quins tighthead who's now at Cardiff is expected to be capped this summer

Rhys Litterick?

25 and I cant even remember him playing for Quins

IFW - definitely a poach, seemingly instigated by Cardiff Met University (IIRC).

Henry Thomas - definitely not a poach, not at all, just... wandered over and accidentally capped.

Combined hospital pass/try assist from Curry
Reed'll feel that one tomorrow

Aye that's the one

Yeah but our ones are **** and your occasional ones are good.

 

[Which Tyler]

Isnt Dewi Morris our.last poach from Wales, before IFW?

Good?

Beyond that, we're talking the likes of Flutey or Hape

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Hopefully Curry passes the HIA,
Two locks on the bench, so no real cover, and we always play worse without a Curry

Think we're gonna lose this now

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Unsurprisingly: really pleased with that
Shame to let in that last Quins try to give them two points, but c'est la vie - my heart was going a mile a minute in that last minute

The Vunipolas. If you have a Welsh accent it counts. lol.

The WRU couldn't find a way for IFW to get into Cardiff's med school. Premiership clubs would find a way to get an academy player what he needs academically.

If Cardiff met doesn't offer a program a player is interested in, that player might as well be English.

Is Louis Brown injured for Newcastle? If not give him back to Coventry and at least the lad will get some game time for a decent team

There's more than 1 university in Wales.

Tell that to welsh rugby. Even though Swansea and Cardiff play BUCS they are heavily reliant on met.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Oof that Bristol score line

There's more than 3 universities in Wales.
If you're in a professional academy, you dont need to be playing BUCS

You often are though and those are universities that professional teams have relationships with.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Stats from the Bristol game are ludicrous

 

[Welsh Exile]

45 clean breaks. lol.

 

[West Country Wail]

0 carries, wait what?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

0 carries, wait what?

Guessing it takes time to collate that data, it's updated now to 124 vs 26
