Thats a good article, some bugger with space hopper sized balls has obviously gone to the Government and explained to them why they should allow this, 40% tax on a 400k euro salary x 9 is a nice wee nest egg,no wonder they all stay home.
Unless I'm mistaken, you haven't beaten them yet. Unless I've missed something (again).
No trip to Dublin for the Shedheads.
@wrecker, not yet. 6.30 on Sat but it made me chuckle!
Enjoyed the Glaws game, thought Yachvilli was outstanding.
Heine Cup back this weekend, I can't see past 4 home wins on current form.
Clermont v Montpelier 15:40 Sat
Saracens v Ulster 18:30 Sat
Harlequins v Munster 14:00 Sun
Toulon v Leicester 17:30 Sun
Lol blindmelon.
Anyone else hear howling????
I suppose I deserved that! Very disappointed with the performance, we were simply not accurate enough to beat a defence like Sarries. The scoreline flattered them a little as the first score should never have come from the line out which was an Ulster throw. The best team won however.
The only positive was the return of Tommy Bowe who looked sharp considering he's been out 4 months. Off to find a wolf hunter!
My ex landlord (top bloke) was at the game as an Ulster fan-took a hammering did they? Trots off to Facebook to start the abuse 🙂
Meh just checked the score, I was presuming worse-Ulsters form has really gone to shit in the last couple of months!
Didn't see that Munster performance coming? Even as a Munster fan. Clermont away in semis looks like a bridge too far though. Some seriously poor performances by Quins England players in front of Lions coach.
Top kicking performance from Le Jonny Weelkeensonne this evening.
Well done Munster indeed!! How did POC play?
What is this "Hennekin Cup" your talking about? Cant be very good if it has no welsh teams in it.
Thought you were quiet AA!
POC was man of the match, Gatland was at the game so good timing.
Powell off to Wigan RL at the end of the season.
Mongo think simple game good for simple people.
Would it be harsh to suggest the average IQ of both sports would increase?
😆
Mongo smash Mongo smash Mongo smash
Gutted, one of my very favourite players. One a the few decent players at Sale this year, he is inconsistent though. Maybe standing in a straight line, then running in a straight line will suit him better? Shoe in for the Welsh RL team I'd guess!
Hmm doesn't seem like it's a done deal. Wigan denying knowledge and a month back Mongo was saying that he wanted a new Sale contract.
Sunday, 2 games of Heineken rugby to watch after the Paris-Roubaix! Wooohoooo!
Checks teams - Munster, Quins, Leicester, Toulon. 4 teams I actively dislike. (Not sure why, but I'm being honest. And I really can't stand Munster. :()
So a very conflicted Welshman ended supporting Quins and Leicester but being vaguely pleased when Toulon won. And sulked about Munster.
Why is rugby so confusing?

Oof he is a bit feather weight is Mike! Have we found out for certain if Mongo will be playing amongst a more level playing field IQ wise next year yet?
seems to be a done deal

Heading back over the bridge is he? 😀
Edited for smiley
Don't know why you think it is so bad. Gives youth a chance to come through and play with the big beasts gone. That increases the strength in depth. Yes they wont be released to play in the Autmn internationals but meh they don't really mean anything.
As AW Jones said yesterday you learn not only through the experience of playing but also through playing and training alongside experienced pro's. He got to see and play with the likes of Marshal or Collins etc. None of the welsh regions will be competitive in europe and the game is dying on its arse in Wales, no one wants to go to games to see youth being "developed" by having the shit kicked out of them on a weekly basis. The WRU are killing the game, pro rugby in wales will be dead in five years if nothing changes.
I am glad you put the blame on the WRU because I blame them as well. Don't share your sense of pessimism though.

and reading that again I was suprised to see he's only 26 😆 can only improve!
Sale scoring for fun tonight, Scarlets beating up Glasgow as well.
Not looking good, could be (yet another) loosing bonus point, then back home next week for a top 6 clincher against Sorries.
You were saying Scamper? 😆
SAYULL!!!!!!
You know, before kick off i thought we were going to get a humping.
after the first ten minutes i dared to dream...
Only bloody Glaws could make Stockport look good :-}
No fight or intensity apparently and Shedwed are not happy. Hoped it would never come to this but thought Glaws could well loose 3 or 4 out of their last four and drop out of the top six, to the carrot crunchers of all people. Need some results to go our way tomorrow.
Sale fans singing "always look on the bright side of life" in the background 🙂
daft thing is, if we had played like that from the off we would have been a top six team at the end of the season. Glos never spent one single second in the Sale 22 in the second half.
Well, if things continue to go our way at least we will be able to say we stayed up on our own merits.
Next season in a pub Scamper? ( we don't don't play in Stockport any more)
Yer, I know where you play - still funny though (to me anyway) 😀
On reflection could have a top 6 with a loosing bonus point or two. Barth have to play the top 3, and Pests and Carrot Crunchers will take points out of each other, with the former also away to Tigers. Just hope it does not come down to Exeter v Glaws as a top 6 shoot out on the final day as i think i'm going down to that one.
At least it will add tension to the day out!
we are off to the Sale/Pests game, if they play like tonight I'll be ecstatic 🙂
Looking forward to the Tigers v Wasps game on Sunday, seems like forever since there was a home game at Welford road.
No change in squad after Toulon game, just Ayerza out after breaking his collar bone
Worst performance of the season by Glasgow. Hell, I might start a chorus of "Are you Edinburgh in disguise?"
What was the call in the spitting incident? (been away)
if we had played like that from the off we would have been a top six team at the end of the season. Glos never spent one single second in the Sale 22 in the second half.
Gloucester could have gone 3rd!! It was a hammering in every area. I am hoarse this morning 😕
The spittinf frenchie got fourteen weeks I think.
