Want another TJ contribution?
Edinburgh - managed toget a win in a close game - but maybe it should never have been close at all the number of chances Edinburgh cocked up. Got a core of a good team there - should be challenging for both trophies this year.
Glasgow? Well every week the axing of Lineen and parachuting in of Townsend looks more bizarre. I see them having a disasterous season. Why does Morsison get a place? FFS.
Lions? the scots representation will be thin but should be more than just Gray. Gray. ford, Rennie, Denton on the plane with a decent chance of playing, Laidlaw, McVisser, Hogg in with a chance.
Not a vintage time for 10s in the NH right now so Laidlaw could get his place - I rate him as good or better than any other competitors.
6N - Scotland will do nothing while nuptybaws is in charge. He has proven to be useless as an international coach.

Josh Strauss
[url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/19555873 ]OK, so not really, but they have signed a pretty handy 8 in Strauss. [/url]
If only he would sack Townsend due to "musical differences" Nothing good can come of the season he is in charge, just as we finally have enough money to start moving forward,he gets the job. (sigh)
Woooooo!! I won tickets to Wembley on Saturday for Sarries vs Leicester
That is all
As you were...
Did that happen without a glitchy bump required?
Not bad...but not as good as a weekend in Limerick 😉
not as good as a weekend in Limerick
You do know its nickname is stab city 😯
My wife took my to Munster Leinster in Limerick a few years ago. Why did they build a brand new stadium in Munster with no roof a the ends?? No amount of Gortex will keep you dry from Munster Mist!!
I jest, its a great place to watch rugby, almost as good as Ravenhill 😀 You will have a wonderful time.
Melon; If I do get stabbed it will be black beer that comes out AND I will be so drunk I won't feel it. Have to take issue with the Ravenhill comparison; I went to see a kid from my club play for the u21's there on a cold Feb Friday night on int weekend. It was just like being in Firhill!
Guinness is an wonderful anesthetic 😀
Aye the weather can roll in at Ravenhill alright, although it is due for a major redevelopment in the next couple of years. Comparing it to Firhill, come on now at least Ravers is in a decent bit of Belfast, not the Maryhill Road!
Some cracking looking fixtures this weekend. Looking forward to Ulster/Munster of course but also Sarries/Tigers and the AB/Sa should be a cracker.

Hope it doesn't clash with the Jedi training which YOU ALSO WON! Jammy beggar.
Nope, off to that on 24th. There is a comp for £1m for catching 3 balls at half time though. Fingers crossed everyone....
Not a good half an hour of being an Ospreylian. 🙁
FFS.
bag'O'Shite
Indeed. Utter pish so far.
Gough's little kick through was rather lovely (But for a bounce!)
Glasgae are defending really well, though, to give them their due.
Better off with him in the bin!
Yep. AWJ seems to have brought some pace to the game. Which is saying something!
Holy crap just saw the O's score!! One point in it at Ravers great 2nd half so far
AWJ looks pissed off!!
Ospreys well on top now - can they come back here?
No they wont!
Last minutes have been complete mince. 2 poor sides on this showing.
Ulster won again!!! 3 from 3. Only one point in it, that confirms Munster as the third best team in Ireland hey Darcy?
SUFTUM
Miserable start to the season, so many mistakes. Next week at the Scablets is going to be tough.
The O's must have been very poor or were Glasgow better than their previous outings?
Ulster top of the pops now, a win from the Galway mob tomorrow would be sweet
The O's must have been very poor or were Glasgow better than their previous outings?
Both.
Ospreys minus the likes of Hook, Phillips, Shane, Lee Byrne, Tommy Bowe, Jerry Collins, Gavin Henson, Huw Bennet, Marty Holah, Craig Mitchel, Filo Tiatia, Nikki Walker, Paul James with Adam and Ryan Jones injured are mostly shite.
You need Tommy Bowe back 😀
Bit of both. Glasgow were much better and Ospreys were poor. So many handling errors.
Ospreys seemed to have more possesion but Glasgow defended well and scored 2 oportunist tries - one from 80 metres!
Glasgow will still finish in bottom half I reckon.
Easy win from Edinburgh as we may have expected. Top half finish for my team.
I think Embra have a good chance of making the play offs.
Moment of the game from Belfast was a ruthless Ulster crowd chanting, Who are ya? When ROG came on and threw a pass into touch. Oh and nice boy Trimble was involved in a bit of a fracas

That's not an excuse for them being unable to take their own line-out ball, get parity in the scrum, defend properly, work off a set-piece. Do the basics in other words.
And Henson again, a_a?
The Ospreys are also without Scott Gibbs...... 🙄
A-A; fancy that; a Welsh rugby fan looking to the past! 😀
Sarries/Tigers smashmouth rugby; oh vey baby!
A-A; fancy that; a Welsh rugby fan looking to the past
the futures bright, the futures Scarlet! The Scarlets dont have a pack though so that could get tricky later!
Anyway more than looking forward to this years 6 nations, although Rob Howley as head bus is a worry. The fact is the Ospreys dont have the players to compete anymore. Tandy is the ****ing coach for christs sake, the last coach in Wales has left, turned the lights off and shut down the power station. Its going to be a tough few years for the regions. So many players leaving and not being replaced throughout Wales. The only quality players O's had on the pitch were Ashley Beck, Tipuric, Ian Evans and AW Jones who came on as a replacement. Fussel looked one of the slightly less shite players for christ sake!
And Henson again, a_a?
yep the O's third highest points scorer of all time behind Bigger and Hook who has left in the last few years and not been replaced.
The Ospreys are also without Scott Gibbs...
and Justin Marshal 😆
The Ospreys with out a Moriarty 😆 oops may have gone to far there 😉
Paul or Richard?
Bugger; RIP Nevin Spence. 22 and just named in the provisional squad.
Killed in an accident on the family farm along with his Brother and Father.
SUFTUM.
Very sad Duckman, tragic accident for the family and rugby.
Tragic for the Spence family, a mother has lost her husband and two sons, her daughter is still in hospital.
Nevin was a great young player and had a wonderful future ahead of him.

RIP
Nice video AA. So sad for the family
Aye - bad news.
To prevent confusion, the club would like to clarify events surrounding an incident which took place in London on Saturday.Several Saracens players, together with their wives and girlfriends, were enjoying a quiet evening when an uninvited stranger approached the group. A brief altercation occurred, which resulted in a friend of this stranger attacking Chris Ashton with a glass. The Saracens winger suffered two minor cuts on the left side of his face, but neither required stitches.
Edward Griffiths, CEO, said: “Since arriving at the club, Chris has proved himself an outstanding member of the Saracens family, on and off the field. It is a reality that well known sports people are provoked by strangers and subsequent events are instantly tweeted. People will inevitably see this story and say an England rugby player is in trouble again. For clarity, Chris Ashton is not in trouble at all. On the contrary, he was celebrating an anniversary with his girlfriend and showed admirable restraint.”

where was Gavin!!!
Report mentions an evening drink A-A; a lightweight like Gav would have finished chucking ice cubes, dissing his stand-off, and would have collapsed in his own wee by evening.
