aus-nz turning into a cracking game.

Genia showing his class again as is Conrad Smith who is easily the best centre in the world at the moment.

Just got the new BT Vision box set up, now watching the World Club Rugby Sevens and chuckling at Saints getting stuffed by San Francisco!
Its going to be a good winter 🙂

Duckman……your Aussie prediction might need a bit of a review after today’s result 😉 Good to see Richie back on deck and in fine fettle post sabbatical.

Gloucester getting properly humped by New York of all teams in the 7’s!

I’m sure he will at some point. B*** currently have a very very strong side though. I think they’ll do well this season.

I think so. Webber, Wilson, Attwood, Faosilva, Fearns, Garvey; they have some quality. Could do with a better 8, I read on their forum that they were hoping to get Faletau before he re-signed.

He does it appears. I thought he left!
I’d also forgotten Francois Louw…
I also think their back line is pretty petrifying!

He got wound up as Lawes was going out of his way to take Toby Flood off the pitch which he succeeded in doing. He was arguing with officials as thought Lawes should have received yellow/red late challenge.

As a Leicester fan though I also think it was bad behaviour on his part though the ban is to long for offence

I think Bath will do well, there pack looked quite sharp, with decent pace and power. It’ll be interesting to see them against the Welsh teams though.

So sad about Jaco, the picture if him with his lad is heart wrenching.

Thanks for posting that Pigface.

the bigger they are…

MND is a disgusting horrific disease that is currently killing a mate’s wife. How do you cope with something that takes you apart like that, especially as somebody who has played sport at the level he has.

@frankers I was at the match and I thought Lawes played well and did not hit Flood late, perfectly legit.

I read the piece on Joost, desperate stuff and supremely brave responce.

Someone should tell Keith Wood to change the record and stop bleating

To be fair to him, it seems that he was asked a question and he stuck to his guns. Right or wrong, nowt wrong with being honest.

That is a trait I thought you would admire AA 😉

Yep got to admire him for sticking to his guns even as the ship slides beneath the surface 😆 I like Woody and he was a great player.

Most don’t. He deserved a ban but it’s just a bit inconsistent that’s all. But that’s the RFU all over.

He looked very sharp to me on Saturday in the friendly against Leeds Carnegie!

Mark Cueto

Henson is apparently looking to move on from Bath… maybe he should just join Newport after all and go back to enjoying nights out in Cardiff instead 😀

It was on the local news online although it seems to have since been removed.. maybe Gav saw your post Tiny and decided he might be better off trying to make friends in Bath 😀

Having said that, Henson also gave an interview in the last few days saying he would happily fight Fearns in a charity boxing match where he thinks he can earn back some respect. A brave comment given the pre-season charity boxing matches have just finished at Bath 😉 We all support you Gavin! 😀
