Biarritz are struggling it seems, only one win from nine games so far and rooted to the bottom of the domestic table. In their shoes I’d not be fielding a full strength team for a second rate comp either.

Why are they both losing?

SUFTUM!!

TJ will be a happy man.

Scarlett’s winning 😆

Left it late but mr may does scorch across the turf.

Watching the Bath game and wondering whats the point of the video ref if the ref asks a question watches the big screen and doesnt wait for the video ref to say anything?

Not that sad when you consider that the star signing for this season was Trebaldi!!!

Nalaga cited, not sure what to make of it really.

naughty but not naughty enough!

I reckon he knew what he was doing, you don’t break stride like that naturally. Got away with it though.
Got any clips of the Sampson incident a_a? I’ve read that he’s being cited for stamping Danny Care.

Whether the guy was throwing his head at his legs or not, he still breaks stride and raises his knee. It looks deliberate but who knows whether it was and what his intention was when he looks at the tackler, break stride and raises his knee. I’m only saying how it looks.

not been able to find any, according to my welsh compatriots it look accidental and the yellow was harsh…. so it was pretty bad I reckon!!

Devoto has been cited too, for a head butt as well as a Begles player for punching Louw

Sneaky bastard not sneaky enough.

😀
Harlequins coach said it was disgusting and should have been a red. The Scarlets coach said it was a harsh yellow!

Devoto’s headbut was a very sneaky one too, it reminded me of that big dual code Kiwi lock when he nutted someone in the tackle a few years ago.

No I dont think it was you hunk of burning Irish love 😆

Winger looks a bit like Nigel Walkers attempts to tackle that usually led to a brief spell of unconsciousness and a head ache.

The concussion discussion thing is interesting, a classic example is George Smith in the last Lions test, how was he ever allowed to go back on?

2 weeks for Samson Lee so it couldnt have been that bad.

NZ have form.

Assault with intent, part one

And then, a moment to shame a nation. A moment to shame a sport. Disgusting.

What annoys me most here is that incidents like this sour what is a superb rugby team, a nation that loves the sport. See also Andy Haden and more. They’re such a good team, they don’t need to be dirty cheating sons of bachelors, but yet they are.

Sorry, DD! I hadn’t seen it for a while either, and felt the same. Vile incident.

He even went on to say that it was it was one of those unfortunate things that happen in rugby.

No, Tana, it was common assault. Nasty, violent assault. Definitely NOT just one of those things.

Flip side of Umaga when he checked that Colin Charvis hadn’t swallowed his tongue and put him in recovery position after getting sparked by Jerry Collins.

I liked that Umaga was man enough to show up for the test match in Dublin later that year. When he knew his cards were marked. Oh wait. He didn’t. Pussied out. 🙂
