What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be feeding the rugby troll over on the STW argue thread?
Yep fourteen weeks for the spitty number 9.
Excellent result for Sale......there's rumblings of me getting a season ticket for next season 😕
Enjoying the b*** vs quins game on espn, but my word healey is a penis isn't he?
Shouldn't you be training for your scrap with Fred!

indeed, he takes ****tishness to a new level
Any chance to slag off an Englishman eh a_a 🙂
Ooops
indeed!! TBF I just dont like Healey. Will Carling does the english rugby fan shtick much better than Healey ever could.
I agree mate...Healey is such a bellend!!
Shouldn't you be training for your scrap with Fred!
I think that's aimed at me. I don't think I'll be needing any extra training for Fred.
Danny Care was fantastic today.

See, you are saying that...however when you come back to your sleeping bag and there is a dirty protest in it... 😆
😆
If only Danny Care could repeatedly show his Quinns form for England-one of my very favourite players.
Care was awful at times in the six nations but he us very talented.
not sure what to make of this. At best its very, very reckless at worst a very long time on the naughty srep.
Have watched that incident a few times now. Dangerous play, regardless of intention.
A_a is correct, he was terrible during the 6n. Weirdly I was reflecting that he'd not had a poor game for England beforehand......... 😳
As for the video, I can't imagine any defence for that. The reverse angle is pretty condemning.

As said, dangerous play, there has always been a wee bit of that in him. I would be surprised if much came of it.
I think his foot got the ball his shin got the head, the blue 14 was milking the collision he caused.
He collected John Thomas once which was cynical this was just clumsy IMO
Even if just clumsy he should recieve a ban imo. People get banned for mistiming tackles this is no different imo. What the winger was doing or not doing entirely irrelavant to what POC did. It was reckless use of the boot.
London Welsh gone then 😥 and lost their main backer 😥 😥

The black player has him in a headlock,the green guy's fingers are always in sight, more to the point,why were two forwards watching the black player manhandle their team-mate?
green players fingers were always in sight true, but seem to be in Ian Evans eyes for at least part of the time. Apart from the head lock we cant really see what Evans is doing with his other hand which looks to be near the eyes of the green player.
The kick to the head is disgraceful IMO. The bloke is presenting the ball with both hands stretched, so is completely prone.
From Irish Times:
O’Connell made contact with Kearney’s head while kicking the ball during the second half of the match in Limerick, but after reviewing video footage of the incident the citing commissioner, Eddie Walsh, decided the second row does not have a case to answer.
It was felt that although O’Connell’s shin came into contact with Kearney’s head, the player was making a genuine attempt to get the ball and there was no deliberate intent to kick the Leinster winger.
I agree it wasn't deliberate but I did think he might have been cited for dangerous play
Even if he had he would have been gien a warning (if he had the good sense to avoid the biscuits)so not much done really.
I hadn't realised that Kearney was knocked unconscious as a result. Nasty
It was reckless and dangerous IMO and he should have been cited. He didnt kick him in the head intentionally but that defence doesnt wash with tackles that go wrong. Given his previous he would have been in hot water at the citing (unless he bought some delux choccy biscuits to share and didnt eat any himself).

How long till the Lions squad is announced? We can start a whole need thread and really get some "debate" going 😀

I think it was announced sometime in Mid-March. Their first training run was pretty good, actually. Beat a scratch side 30-3.
That was just the test 15 they'll need some dirt trackers too!!!

In all fairness that was a rugby league team they played,I mean I only saw a couple of scrums.... 8)

Ideal preparation for playing the Aussie's then
Ladbrooks suspend betting on lions captain after a flood of money for warburton!

Was he a good price to be the midweek team captain then?
Squad announced 30 Apr I believe
Glasgow currently stuffing the Ospreys
5 tries for Ulster in Galway. Hopefully should have a home semi now
Glasgow currently stuffing the Ospreys
did you watch it? Glasgow played well and were deserved winners but Rolland is an utter bell end. Ospreys finished with Fortuali on one winng Fussel on the other Morgan at fullback and two no marks in the centre. Biggar aside Tipuric was their best back (and forward).
All to play for when it comes to hc qualification (in the premiership anyway!). Looks like 17k due at Gloucester today - good day to take a kiwi rugby fan for his first kingsholm experience.
did you watch it?
Yup. Ospreys completely outplayed. Roland's management of the game was appalling, especially the scrum and the breakdown, although I don't believe this affected the result.
Agree about the centres: very one dimensional, no creativity and too slow.

yep, his binning of Adam and Grant was an utter joke. Ospreys have no creativity when Beck isnt there and zero firepower on the wing. Sad really. If we could combine the scarlets and ospreys we might have a decent team!
I think Warburton would make a great Lions captain
Whilst on the topic I saw JW play at Toulon vs Leicester, he should definitely go on the tour
I dont get the idea that wilkinson should go. He's not played international rugby in a long time, the last time he went on a Lions tour he wasnt up to it and was shoe horned into 12 because Jones was a better option. And finally my gran would look good behind the Toulon pack and she's been dead 20 years.
What are the options?
Sexton and Farrell are the best 10s of the home nations, and neither are excellent. I dunno if JW should (or indeed would) tour, but he's playing very very well and keeping the 10 shirt away from some very stiff competition.
He'd make a fantastic mid week capt.
