Its almost making feel hopeful for Scotland as our injury list is not too long. PRL are playing hardball tho over players
I can feel a veer back to hopeless optimism coming on. A hard set of A!s for Scotland coming but the critical players all look in decent nick. still worried about tight-head and locks for the bench. Matt Scott a surprise omission to the squad other wise pretty much as expected
Rumour mill is working overtime. All of the following is "apparently";
Saints and Tiggers after Ford (G). JJ Hanrahan Munster-bound.
Bristol to agree short term deal with Eben Etzebeth in december....for £40K/game!!!!!
Tiggers after Ben Morgan
Fearns off to Sarries
Glaws after Joe Simpson
Can't see Simpson leaving Wasps, especially given that Wasps are do By well and Gloucs, are well Gloucs.
Would Ford go back to Tiggers? That would suggest that Williams or Burns were on the way out.
Morgan to Tiggere makes sense because they're lacking a ball carrier / 8.
Fearns also linked to tiggers. I'd be happy with either. Sure Ford will move, maybe Cockers can be step dad!
With the pound dropping like a stone will we start to see more and more players leave UK teams for France? Certainly many of the SH imports will be looking to head over the channel?
Tom Wood chucked a massive life line by Eddie. Surprised by that given his form hasn't been great and he's been playing in a struggling Saints team. I know he's uncapped and getting in a bit, but would Thomson have been a better bet? At least he's in good form.
Wood is a proven international, Jones obviously thinks he should go with a known quantity.

Could somebody get an albatross for TJ's neck please?
Nel and Sutherland now out.
Thats it - were doomed!
POC legend - Question of Sport (also if I may show a little bro-mance he is looking bl00dy good for anrefired forward)

Toulon - hmm impossible for me to support any club with Ashton in the side. Also Inunderstand Mike Ford doesn't soeak French which at Toulon isn't a problem 😉 I must have missed some news but where is JW ? I thought he was on the coaching staff there too
Sarries vs Tiggers is a free view game tomorrow for those interested (BT Sport 1).
There was just a 7 minute long scrum in the Scarlets v Blues game. Two props in the bin and no penalty try for the Blues. Joke!!
This ref is shoite!!!
In other news Embra 0, Zebre 12 currently 😆

You shouldn't mock the afflicted
*sulks*
Interesting that jp doyle was a scrum half. He can't seem to shake that when he's reffing. A lot of it takes place from the 9/10 channel.
Ospreys should sort out the Dregs but now I have said it we are doomed 😳
Blimey - Leicester v Saracens on at the same time as England v NZ RL, the latter with all three of the Burgess brothers playing.
Which to watch!
Kryters, you should watch the rugby, obviously.
Just give the ball to Giles!!!!
He's not like the other kids, is he?
See told them
And again!
Aaron shinglers yellow card is quite spectacular. Given the number of officials.
Only one official looked at it, that was the problem!
Has he apologised or did he joubert?
Bonus point win for Sale 🙂 Hope Henson injury not too serious.
Flying high in 5th
Bristol looked ****ed already dont they.
We are absolutely ****ed. But it's Ok because andy robinson thinks it's "solvable". Yes Andy it is and I know how to do it (Steve Lansdown if you are reading this, you are welcome)
1) Sack the entire board.
2) Sack the entire coaching team except Bakewell.
3) Sack at least 2/3rds of the squad. At least.
4) Replace all sacked personnel with competent individuals.
Piece of piss.
When your fans are relying on Henson to carry the team you know your ****ed. So big a squad and so little quality.
Theres a big difference between giving a **** and being a **** too
The whole thing has been a disaster. We finally scrape through the play offs (narrowly squeeking past Doncaster...) then recruit next to nobody, promote Dwayne Peel to backs coach for our first season in the prem for his first ever coaching role, they got rid of Holley which was right (he was shit and just recruited old wales players who hurt themselves all the time but then they didn't replace him!
I understand the Robbo is a deeply unpopular person, small wonder the players don't seem to care very much.
Technically on topic, I have tickets for the Wales V Argentina Autumn international in a couple of weeks. It's been ages since I've been to Cardiff. Can anyone offer me any useful advice ref best places to Park? Aiming to be there a few hours before the kick off, so from mid afternoon.
No captain sam v Aus.
Just read a rumor on the Tigers forum that Robinson is out at Bristol and Heyneke Meyer is coming in.......
*still sulking*
also looking forward to the AIs

Sad to hear of the death of AWJ's father. A real clubman at Swansea.
So no captain sam, AWJ and Faletau. Also both Williams and Ball touch and go.
Could be looking at
1/2p
Amos
Davies
Roberts
North
Biggar
Webb
Moriarty
Tipuric
Lydiate
Charteris
Davies
Lee
Owens
500 year old Gethin
Christ knows who will cover backrow and Lock on the bench. Pack looks very weak,missing our 3 best forwards.
I clearly jinxed things in my earlier post!
Scotland will be really struggling at prop with Nel out and others doubtful. Fagerson is only 20!
1 Dickinson
2 Samwise
3 Fagerson
4 Ickle Jonny
5 Big Ritchie
6 Ginger tackle monster
7 Hardie
8 Bluto
9 Frodo
10 Dancer
11 Tacklebag
12 Dunbar
13 The Messiah
14 Tennessee Tam
15 Didier Hoggba
Or in English
1 Dickinson
2 Ford
3 Fagerson
4 Gray
5 Gray
6 Harley
7 Hardie
8 Strauss
9 Laidlaw
10 Russell
11 Visser
12 Dunbar
13 Bennett
14 Seymour
15 Hogg
Dickinson is a doubt as he has been injured but and Hardie might miss out to Watson as Hardie has not much recent gametime and Watson is in Fine form
Great analysis on [url= http://www.the42.ie/analysis-all-blacks-tries-59-2016-3056059-Nov2016/ ]The42[/url] of how the ABs have scored all their tries this year.
You can stop them if you:
Don't turn the ball over
Don't kick to them
Don't give them a scrum near your line
Don't give them a line out in your half
Don't give them the ball in the last 30 minutes
Simple......... 😯
