James spat the dummy when Prydie was picked over him and walked out of training camp about 3 or 4 years ago. Not been in the squad since. He’s fast and strong but has always lacked footballing ability.

Who would you drop for him AA? 8)

I was just about to post that. Pretty safe considering Eastmond should be back in at 12.

??? eh

😆

AA, I was wondering which of the Welsh back 3 you would drop for him. As to the Salaries offer, could Bath not just dip whoever will be kicking in a vat of Dulux orange and get their fans a payout?

Funny, but Manu doesn’t learn, does he? Wonder if England will take action. And I think Mr Burns has more important things to do rather than tweet about it.

After CaptainFlasheart’s post… Would be nice for Bath to let Henson have a penalty or conversion right under the posts at Sarries 😀

Looks like the European Cup is going to get the revamp it needs (too many pointless one sided group games). Not sure about cramming the normal season in before Feb/6 Nations but possibility of having the South African sides join is a mouth watering one, add a couple of Welsh and Irish sides plus one from Scotland and Italy and you’re done,

POSTED 11 HOURS AGO # REPORT-POST

So I think we can now ignore the EPL’s pretend reasons for demanding a revamp?(it’s really about money)If you introduce qualification from the Rabo you will get 3/4 Irish sides,one Welsh and Glasgow,which is a crap day out. Banging on about the rabo sides not qualifying then trying to introduce quotas…Oh and it would be the end of Italian participation,bet the tigers would be glad of that mind,after their “one sided game” there last year.And as for South African teams,the key word is surely “European”

Might be of interest…

I saw the Bismark/Carter tackle yesterday in a shop in Belgium. I don’t think it was a harsh yellow, to the strict letters of the law it was a proper tackle but at full speed it is incredibly difficult for the ref to see it. Du Plessis is always running the risk of a yellow when you go in like that. What worries me is the size of these guys and the deliberate targeting of vulnerable parts of the body. Bakkies Botha did a similar thing to Adam Jones, got cited and banned for two weeks but stayed on the pitch. For the people bleating about rugby going soft, wind your necks in, it’s not a blood sport, professionalism has created monsters the like we have never seen. How long before someone is killed in a collision between these gargantuan players.

Was talking about the aiming to deliberately target a player for injury. Not like you to ignore what’s written AA :lol

How you think Du Plessis was on side is baffling.

Also, looks like the Aussies have their fair share of booze issues, too.

If we had lost another number 8 you may have had the call 😯

Cipriani was the difference tonight, he has in another league, excellent all round performance. If he could play like that every week!

We were just putting some daylight between us and Wasps when Surfer junior utters the famous words “looks like we’ve got this won” which of course started the Wasps fightback. A nervous last 20 mins came down to a couple of scrums in the middle of the park that we eventually won and then won a kickable penalty with 90 seconds to go, step up Cipriani 🙂
Few worrying injuries though, Peel, Gaskell and most worrying McLeod.

😆

Great result for Gloucester 😆

Much as it pains me to agree with Austin Healey, that Glos result was a disgrace, ref should have had Glos 16 on his back!
Glos played well but that was wrong.

That gloucs result was a travesty. Good game though.
B*** are getting a pasting at the minute.

Has someone given Henson a wash? MsD has just remarked he’s not looking as orange 😆

Its true, they said so on the telly!

It’s a bit insulting isn’t it? Mind you he’s just dropped a pass right in front of an open tryline 😆
