Always hated steve walsh!!

**** fuckity **** **** ****.
One day I’ll see it.

Pleased to see some of the older players like Gethin and Phillips raise their game, both were very very good but so was Samson Lee a 21 yearold tighthead who had the better of the Beast. Roberts and Davies were good too shame we could get Cuthbert into the game second half as he had a stormer in the first.

Gutted.
Again.

His try last week was brilliant. He had his flaws but put him into space a very few are better. Runs great lines with great timing too.

@bigblack – it’s not the same as live but the games get uploaded to YouTube and you watch them there on the tablet

Sounds a tough day for Wales not to close that out. Walsh has done Wales a favour in the past. Don’t think I’ll be watching this last England game on catchup-YouTube seems we couldn’t replicate what we showed in the first two tests and got battered.

Back under the bridge tinybits 😆

Williams was injured during the first half of the 3rd/4th play-off fixture with Asia Pacific Dragons on Sunday afternoon.
The region would like to take this opportunity to thank fans for their messages of support for Owen. Cardiff Blues will issue further updates when they are available.

Serious neck injury reported. No news seems like bad news in this case. Hope he’s ok.

Deferred? Are the citing panel scared of the Epic LAD too?! 😀 I never normally use words like that but Lad is the only apt description for Lee

Its just as number 8 gets up and before the ref gets in the way. Nuts the sa 4. He should be fine if he takes the right biscuits.

Not good for Owen Williams, Hope he makes a good recovery.

Interesting that one of the mitigating factors in the Lee hearing was “his youth”. Maybe that means “we’ll let him off slightly for being inexperienced in this sort of thing and forgetting the jaffas” 😀

Really shocking news about Owens. Hope he makes a full and speedy recovery.

Kind of related to that, I attended a research presentation from the group in Edinburgh (including James Robson) recently and the greatest number of neck injuries are still coming from open play (not in the scrum as you might think). Their research was in reducing neck injury at the scrum, particularly in juniors making the step up to full rugby which is apparently very common in Scotland where there have also been recent tragedys. What they found was that the vast majority of Junior front row players make the step up to Elite Adult rugby had neck strength equivalent to the average 13 year old rugby player. Pretty shocking. The other interesting thing they found was that it was only after 5-10 years playing at Elite Adult level (regardless of age) did any of the players start to have the neck strength to put them on equal footing with the established Elite players. The main things they picked out of that were that actual scrummaging based training over a prolonged time period was the only way to develop front row players to the required level and that secondly the SRU are looking to introduce a “Front Row License” where Juniors would have to prove they are suitable for the Elite adult game.

Basically lots of things I’d never really thought about and in some ways confirms how bloomin’ amazing Lee did at the weekend at the age of 21 without a great deal of high level rugby behind him

Yeah but have you seen his neck!! He’s a clone of Ram Man

Is that what happened to Owens?

Regardless, I completely agree ijs445ra. It does seem pretty common to get someone in a kind of headlock then roll away the opponent from the ruck by their head. I’ve never heard it even mentioned as being potentially bad which I find quite shocking too.

None of the Scots interested in Boks v’s Jocks? 😕

I wouldn’t want to watch something so horrific at another’s expense either. The scary thing is though that it doesn’t take much to do a lot of damage. There wasn’t anything too crazy about how Thom Evan’s injury happened. Fortunately he seems to be doing ok now and lets hope for the same recovery for Williams

Will we ever beat Australia 😥

Yep blew a 19 point lead 🙁

Has Inverdale had some surgery on his scrotum eyes?

That’s impressive! Had to read twice to check it wasn’t England beating NZ!

Lost the Super Rugby too, so they’ll be gunning for. the Championship later this month.

Well done Irish women 😀

Who’s going to get the 2014/15 thread up and running then? Has to be one of the threads gobshites big hitters 😀
