I'd rather talk rugby than engage in a slanging match AA.

Maybe try it then, after all your rugby comments are prefty funny.

Wrecker and I argue all the time, I'm not sure he thinks I bully him

So I lack intelligence and have a personality disorder but I am the one throwing insults? Keep it up fella you're doing great!!

Have you sent your strongly worded email to stw yet?

๐Ÿ˜†
a_a has a rather entrenched view of rugby and in particular welsh and english rugby, and you need to know your shit if you're going to disagree with him. In the most diplomatic way possible, he can be a bit venomous but that is just my opinion. Fully open-legged gay for gav though so at least he has good taste.

And I didnt get to see him play tonight as I was out ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

I hear Keelan Giles had a bad looking injury, hope he's OK.

Are we back to talking about rugby now? ๐Ÿ˜†

Sat through Sale Exeter last night which was a pretty dour match (just like the Sale Newcastle match...starting to see a pattern here). Slade threw a few lovely passes though.

Yarde has apparently thrown his toys out of the pram and left Quinns mid season to join Sale. Sounds like he's fallen out with Kingston and co and didn't like being dropped last week after missing training.

AA

For example I dont treat him any different to you when you tell me Watson is the best 7 in the british isles!!!

Classic example - I never said that. I said he was the best performing 7 in the 6n prior to the lions and should have gone on the tour. Both of which are true.

You attack in a pretty nasty way anyone who says anything that could be deemed detrimental to anyone welsh and you constant attacks are tedious in the extreme and make this thread less entertaining than it might be

. I said he was the best performing 7 in the 6n prior to the lions and should have gone on the tour

Huge difference, so sorry.

Both of which are true.

In your opinion, but not the Lions selectors. So I'm hardly an outlier not agreeing with you.

You attack in a pretty nasty way

Could you point out this nasty things I've done?
I found you wittering on relentlessly about Gatland being anti scottish and how he should have pick a load of scots for the lions tedious in the extreme too.
I have no problem with people being critical of welsh players what I do have a problem is when people do it without even seeingly having watched them play and try to make weaknesses strengths or strengths weaknesses or just tritely spouting crap in cliches.

Still waiting for Kryton to get back to me about these insults I directed at him.

Strange how people see things differently.
I was at the Sale-Exeter game last night & the place was thumping.
Two very good defensive efforts from both teams. No shame in a narrow loss to the reigning Champions especially considering where Sale were last year.

AA - its the tone - the putdowns come over as nasty and spiteful.

Anyway

Back to the rugby. Glasgow beat southern kings easily last night - with youngsters making a good showing. Adam Hastings ( recognise that name?) started at 10 and played OK. He will be the next scotland 10 I am sure, George Horne at 9 as well and Matt Fagerson in the back row. Bodes well for the future.

Our choirboy prop Zander who is still only 21 had a storming game. Scored a try, couple of turnovers but he does like to get into discussions with his opponents a bit too much.

Good job I am not interested in run and wriggle, PNG just handed us a whooping.

AA can be abrasive but Kryton whingeing about people being rude is hysterical. Jambaesque levels of irony ๐Ÿ˜†

England and Wales to train together!!

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2017/oct/28/england-wales-training-session-autumn-internationals-rugby-union

Wonder how many more injuries we'll pick up. Not sure what Wales will learn from being hammered in set piece by England or what England will learn from the weaker Welsh forwards...if I was Rob Evans I'd say my head still hurt!!!

Edinburgh win away at Treviso and I see a Tovey was on the wing...surely not Jason?

The very same AA = he has usually been playing 10 or 12 so what he was doing on the wing I have no idea. But then its Edinburgh so anything could happen. Listed at 10

Marland Yarde signs for Sale. Can't say I'm a fan of his tbh....good competition for Solomona and Mcguigan though. I'd imagine Josh Charnley will be back to the ground shagging code shortly.

yep, bit of a bugger with three first choice England wings now out (Daily / May / Nowel). Never mind, we'll still somehow have someone who can catch and run!

Glasgow seconds V Leinster seconds tonight ( international callups) in the pro 14

Glasgow being captained by a strange antipodean half man half mullet. Lots of new faces to see and Glasgow will be out to prove a point. shuld be a good game if a bit rapier V bludgeon and mad McMata gets a start for Glasgow so anything could happen

As a sale fan who was used to good guys like Hodgson, His Lordship Jason Robinson and the engaging if apathetic at times Chabal I find our latest signing a bit disappointing and yet another reason not to put hard earned cash into funding Steve Diamonds Mere gold club membership or Marlons nights out with Timnie Tempah. Not rugby values

Tjagain- my favourite mad mcmata quote was a pundit saying how Exeter (?) signing him to play with their young, upcoming ten was the equivalent of taking the blinkers off your horse during a fireworks display. True. But I still love watching Nico cut loose

AA - watch the Glasgow game after on iplayer - the most entertaining game I have seen for a long time. I ain't gonna post score updates

scarlets game worth a watch after this one finishes? they are usually pretty entertaining as well

I thought the one before was better actually which says something for the quality of tries! Excellent awareness and use of the brain on the previous one tips it for me

BaaBaa's v NZ is pretty entertaining so far, just started to rain but hopefully both teams will still keep throwing the ball around.

Nice to see Gethin back and winning turnovers. He looks about 20 years older than the ref!!

Edinburgh beat ospreys with a bonus point. How can a team be so inconsistent? They beat the stronger sides and lose to the weaker ones
