Classy. Those two deserve each other.

In other more positive news, Fez makes his first start for Ulster in 17 months at Embra tonight

I can't wait until Ferris is back in an Ireland shirt or even starting for Ulster against Sarries in the HCup.
This short clip from his sub appearance indicates he is in good shape, Ferris at 6 and move SOB to 8 for IRE would give us real forward momentum.

I am off to the Edinburgh v Ulster match tonight. Looking forward to it Edinburgh have been playing reasonably well of late so hoping for a good match. Coman and Du Preez in the Edinburgh back row should give Ferris a good test on his return 🙂

Ealing V Jersey tonight for me, Championship relegation decider although I suspect win or lose Ealing will be relegated unless Notingham go into administration

Enjoy your games chaps.

ijs, I think it should be a really good game, Embra have been going well of late as you say and Ulster have a very strong side out. Unfortunately its not on telly as far as I can see.

No TV coverage, i think it is Sport Reliefs fault.

Instead of me donating to Sport Relief i will give £5 to BlindMelons fundraising but will make it £10 if Edinburgh win 😀

There are an awful lot of confitions being attached to BM's fundraising. 😀

So I now have to cheer on Embra and wear a Munster shirt in the same weekend FFS lads talk about making the fat boy dance.

Thanks ijs that's really appreciated.

DD I'm sorry to report a Munster shirt could not be found in the black north. Even my boss who is on the 6N refs panel didn't have one. It's looking like a rain jacket will be more appropriate anyway. What about a cardboard sign hung shamefully around my neck, saying 'I love Munster'?

Someone (maybe Welsh person) made a comment that Tigers Fly Half Own Williams was a bit pants, well he's playing well for Tigers in front of the soon to depart Toby Flood.

Cockerill thinks he'll be ready for Wales soon.

Poor Wuss. Led Wasps by 5 points til a Wasps scrum & try on 81 minutes, Goode converted. Looks like they are doomed 🙁

Cockers says a lot of things, doesnt make them true.
Blues were awful last night. Really really bad.

However if you pit your anti cockers mindset aside for a bit, you'd see he's playing pretty well, certainly on par with whoever it was who gave England such an easy ride a couple of weeks ago. I think you'll be playing him for wales within the year.

He may go on tour, but if Patchel returns from injury ok he's next in line. Biggar is a perfectly serviceable international ten for the time being.

I've been really impressed with Williams over the past few games though he's still very young, I reckon 2-3years time Wales will have a new star on their hands.

Cockerill not always right but nice to see him putting his faith in this young lad

Have donated a tenner to BM's muscular dystrophy run in lieu of wrecker turning up to claim his tenner to charity after england beat wales this season. Good luck BM, I walked 20m without crutches and did 5 mins on exercise bike yesterday so its good to support a fellow athlete!!

Sat waiting to go into Wembley. With blagged tickets on halfway line, can almost touch the pitch.
Let's hope for a barnstormer of a match, proper blood and thunder after last years win from the 'quins

Is Melon still alive? There was a bowler hat spotted floating forlornly down the Lagan earlier. 😀

It may have been colder than a Penguin's chuff at the AJ Bell but seeing a star studded Northampton put to the sword warmed me up 😀

Thanks bud. Yeah the weather was lovely. It was a really enjoyable event and fair play to those doing a full marathon I'd never be able to. Did you like my sign? I'm definitely not an artist!

Just a little PSA for rugby fans without BT Sport - you can still watch the games by the look of it. Set my Sky to record the Irish v Bath game while we were up there - it's recorded.. also able to watch the Leicester game today.
Hopefully works for others. 🙂

Tigers suddenly looking good. It's taken a few players to return, but by the time they've got back croft, cole, tait and Parling, they'll be a match for anyone again.

Don't really think Sale will get a top-4 place (although it would be fantastic) but a top-6 HEC/Euro Cup/Whatever its going to be called place would be an amazing achievement considering where we were last season. MsD is even demanding we buy season tickets for next season!

Great to see Rees back in the blues squad for the weekend. Great achievement to get back to that level so quickly.

Ahhhhh! Ouch!

Seeing the slowmo replay of Gio Aplon getting his elbow dislocated was quite unpleasant.
