    Wrecker – sounds like you need a new patio rather than decorating

    Summer job.

    Not that I didn’t see the match but what the **** is up with BBC news? Reported on every game including the women’s result but no mention for England?

    Wrecker you got mugged off there! I’d have said the decorating can wait and orried about the fall out afterwards.

    It is easier to ask forgiveness than it is permission after all.

    Full disclosure is I did that the other weekend when went to watch Arg vs Eng at Twickers, and she’s pregnant and not to be messed with at the current time. She wants the front room done for christmas.
    I had a brief coffee break for the england vs samoa game. For I think the first time, I was a bit conflicted with the Bristol contingent playing for Samoa!

    Pleased for you but doubt I’ll ever see Wales beat them

    Can still just about remember the celebrations after Llanelli beat them. Tra-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-lee, Llanelli 9 New Zealand 3. Max Boyce was there apparently… 😆

    Anything is possible.

    It’s mentioned at length every single time NZ play in Wales, and far too regularly at other times. Other teams have beaten them – Swansea were the first club team to beat the ABs. (Although it was 1935!)

    I’m still in shock. Was it all a dream? roll on the 6N

    I still think Scotland will be vulnerable to England and Ireland. Look much better than Wales though.

    If I was hogg I don’t know what would be more frustrating.
    The injury or having maitland on the pitch.

    6 N’s should be interesting. Great win for Scotland, great to see Sale Sharks winger Byron Mcguigan getting two tries and MoM….he’s having a top season.

    That Byron mcguigan isn’t Scottish though is he? can anyone just play for any country these days,like a united nations international teams these days,maybe Wales can grab some all black cast offs:)

    mickey3 really? Have you just noticed? There are a few “nationals” in each team but a lot of imports.

    Indeed. At least he hasn’t played rugby* for another country, or posed in the shirt of the country he was hoping to play for before deciding where his wallet lay.

    In other news, I’m really glad the Ospreys game wasn’t on the tellybox. 🙁

    I was at Murrayfield yesterday, didn’t sober up till around lunchtime today and am now drinking again.

    The thing I’m loving most about Scotland these days is that when they’re good they’re really good, and when they’re bad they’re still bloody entertaining.

    Guessing that was the Glasgow second XV too given most of them play for Scotland!

    Just seen the clip of Steenson having to feed a scrum as the Exeter 9 was in the bin…..fed it straight, ball went straight through the scrum and out the other side 😆

    I wonder if Wales can find 15 blokes not injured or back playing in England for the weekend let alone a starting team plus bench?

    They’re really struggling at 3 aren’t they!

    Sad to see…..I guess it’s a money thing, but why are Wales playing 4 tests this Autumn? I thought that it’d been agreed that Lions year meant a reduced aumtumn international schedule?

    14 players on international duty. Calumn Gibbins ( half man half mullet) Perhaps the only regular first team player. Ospreys lose ten tho and probably have worse strength in depth

    Ah right, hadn’t considered that Spreys would lose that many!

    Same every year..bloody stupid.

    I have been hoping Lee would be fit, fingers crossed.

    I thought NotToby was available? Phillips might have to step up from puffing through a half with the Scarlets at the rate we are losing 9’s as well!

    The Guardian are reporting that Bath may be fined if they release him for a game outside of the international window like Saints did a few seasons ago.

    I’m amazed that Wales have gone with the fourth test in a Lions year. Big workload for their Lions players.

    Either way, he’s going to wish he was still at the Dragons playing one and half club games a season after the rugby he’s got through

    You obviously havent been following welsh rugby closely for the last 10 years. The WRU dont give a shit about the players.
    Part of the reason Wales are so low down the world rankings is playing the top 3 every year and losing and this then means Gatland cant experiment with new players until the world cup seedings are done.

    Talupe can play apparent as can Andrews (well he’s free to play anyway). Tips injured again, Ball having surgery. No word on Samson Lee.

    It does seem England are the only home nation who have managed to stem the talent drain & maintain player control. Are the AP/England salaries that much higher than the Pro12/Wal/Sco/Ire internationals?

    In other news, residents ballot tickets for Twickenham are getting silly money now – £97 + £3 “service fee” for Cat4 (I assume in the gods).

    AA that must be immensely frustrating knowing your top team can challenge with the best, but piss poor WRU organisation & ineligible players ties a hand behind your back. I guess SA is in a very similar position.

    Jim – my FiL used to be a debenture holder, but the prices were getting outrageous. 10k each, plus you have to pay full price for tickets! Nothing extra at all apart from the ability to buy a ticket. Sadly hd gave them up.

    Interestingly he is also an associate member at Lords – membership fee very low, but a 20 year waiting list, and a tough application process.

    Scott Williams confirmed as off to the Ospreys. Any other time that would be a good signing but the guy has been struggling immensely since his injuries.

    In other news, Mike Phillips looks set to get a start for the Scarlets which should be interesting to see how he lasts!

    At altitude too….get the oxygen for half time!!!

    Williams for Fontia is a good deal but why would he do it? I’m hoping it means they are clearing wage space for North.
    Still not as odd as Moriarity to the dregs though.
