What are the odds that the RFU un-suspend the other 5 points?
Their defence seems based upon their claim he was a "rogue employee" pretty much a defense for anything really!
Hopefully it will be academic and Sale will stay up on merit.
Is it Spreys v Dragons on scrum v tonight?
I saw the defence, "Got a wage slip each month did he?" would be the obvious answer to that one.
Bear - MemberAA's would be good, specially as we now know he opened for Gil Scott Heron so he should be able to entertain us....
Huh? Where did Gil Scott-Heron slip into this thread?
Tom B - MemberIs it Spreys v Dragons on scrum v tonight?
It is. I haven't used my season ticket for many weeks and I'm sitting here watching the torrential rain, feeling sore with bruised ribs (and a possibly pneumothorax thing, it seems!) and wondering whether I can be bothered.
Duckman, you've got some good games to watch then. I'm enjoying S15 this year and annoyed that there isn't a game on this morning when I'm stuck in the house.
Chiefs are looking good in the S15 again this year and playing some really nice rugby.
Leinster v Glasgow on Saturday has potential to be a decent match depending on the what the weather does.
ESPN showing Chiefs/Tigers and Sarries/Quins tomorrow. Should both be good games.
Can anyone point me to a list that shows what lions/arg tour games are on what channels, sky is ruddy useless at this..
Who's watching what then? Embra v Ulster here on 301 for some reason...reasonably entertaining game given the pretty low standard that has been displayed at times! Whom is the usually kicker for Embra? Not the guy on show tonight I'm guessing?...he's 2 from 2 but seems to need to be dead straight and within 30 metres to contemplate a shot!
Lydiate back for the Dragons and Ospreys have all the big guns back
Get better soon Idle Jon
'Spreys look good tonight!
Get well soon, IJ! Rib injury forced me out of the game too early for my liking, so I feel your pain!
Sale 3 - 0 Bath so far...
Sale 6 - 3 Bath ... Gulp!
6-3 to Embra here....the words cow arse and banjo spring to mind when trying to describe Paddy Jackson's efforts!
Sale 9 - 3 Bath at half time.
going to be a nervous second half.
Are you there dwarf?
Ospreys really dishing it out to the Dragons 😯
Score?
No, just following the feed. Too bloody cold to be sat next to the ship canal in a snowstorm!
11-8 Embra now....pretty enjoyable game. Goal kicking is embarrassing though!
I really hope Sale stay up - the Prem moves to BT next year and we've just paid for BT Vision!
I still haven't been to the scs...a group of sixth formers that I teach invite me along from time to time...may try and go to the next home game.
We aim to get to a couple before the end of the season, may even see them score a try!
Steady on!
Well smack my arse and call me captainflasheart Embra won a game of rugby!
Sale 9-10 Bath.. Oh dear..
Sale 9-10 Bath.. Oh dear..
14-13 Sharks now oof!
Edit:...and they've won!
Woohoo!!!
It feels wrong, but come on Gloucester tomorrow!
Well that really has put the nails in the coffin of LW 🙁 God I hate Bath bunch of useless cocknockers
It may come to pass that the points loss against LW may not matter, that Sale stay up by their own efforts - a Glos win tomorrow would be helpful though 🙂
Just back from embra game and trying to defrost my bone marrow. Was ok match and Happy with win. Kicking was bad but the wind was howling through stadium but no excuse for missing a couple in front of sticks.
thought mcinally was really good and Rennie played well for first match back.
TomB - Laidlaw is our usual kicker.
Ah right....I thought that he was! Cox had a good game tonight and as you say Rennie was good too. Your 9...Kennedy? looks very good too.
Edinburgh 8 is Netani Talei (sp), Fijian and as such not scared of running from anywhere or a bit of contact.
Edit: wrong number, doh. yeah kennedy young chap been on loan to Glasgow but recalled and Richie Rees heading back to Wales at end of season as surplus to requirements.
Helpful for Glaws tonight. Win tomorrow against the Taffs and that's a top 6 just about nailed on. May go with the 18 month old, but he tends to get a bit mouthy in the Shed.
God I hate Bath bunch of useless cocknockers
It's always someone else's fault.
More of the typical , one-eyed , Welsh whining.
😉
😆
loum its true 😆 just rooting for the underdog but they are done for now.
It would be better if Welsh got relegated by themselves,rather than with a bit of help from the RFU Tbh. Whats this about the prem going to BT vision? So th watch the prem/super 70(ish)Hiney I will need Sky,espn AND BT? If that is the case,anybody want to buy a small boy? Two for sale.
Duckman, BT bought the rights to the Aviva Premiership for the 2013/14 season so yes, looks like you are in the child slavery business I'm afraid!
Anyone know where I can stream any of the super rugby?
Think, if I recall correctly, the English clubs sold their European rights to BT as well and then said they are quitting the heine cup unless qualification is all renegotiated.
Albanach, PM A-A. 😉
Good performance by Sale last night. It was bitterly cold in the South stand but a decent turnout given the road conditions (I had to dig my car out of snow a few 00 yards from home)
Tenacious and dogged particularly good play by the forwards and Braid is becoming a legend already. Louw is one of the best performing back rows in the prem and Braid outplayed him IMO.
Diamond got it right on the night 🙂
Thanks for the sympathey guys.
I retired to bed to watch the Ospreys instead of trundling 500m down the road to a damp, cold stadium.
Pity, it was a good performance in the first half at least. A shame that Fotuali'i can't play for the Lions!
No, just following the feed. Too bloody cold to be sat next to the ship canal in a snowstorm!
You could have stood next to me. Sitting down is overrated ! Colder than a penguins chuff last night.
