Hmm Kryton…”Walsh cheated and everybody knows it.” from this very thread kind of evidences that the Welsh aren’t the sole vendors of a tasty accompaniment to fish. To suggest that somebody complaining about the Marler remarks is bitter seems to come across as a bit arrogant in their attitude to the incident.I wonder what makes World Rugby so jealous of the Englsh;as by the logic you are using,any comment on it is sour grapes. No condemnation from the English posters on here either,you have all defended him to the hilt,and I see you are even doing so after the above 12″ version of his remarks,which is rather a pity,but in some cases entirely expected.

I haven’t – I think he should have been punished but I also think once it had been decided on by the 6N then it should have been left alone.

I also think that Lee and Gatland’s comments that the apology was accepted should have also drawn a veil over the whole thing.

It wasn’t weeks and weeks ago was it (pedant mode engaged) 😆

Marler’s comments were definitely New Zealand flat with a hint of McCaw offside interpretation but it will be interesting to see where it goes from here.

Scarlets have Ospreys away but it is stuck on bloomin’ SKY 😕 Doesn’t look like a bad side but can’t find any info on returning mighty O’s from international duties. AWJ obviously out, but any idea of the other guys?

Yawn. Can we leave this now? Big nasty prop said something mean to another big nasty prop shocker.

Only 2 weeks until the ERC 1/4F’s. Wasps/Exeter and Racing/Toulon look the standout matches to me. After a barren period for AP teams we could see 3 of them in the semis, with 2 guaranteed.

Thm, in denial eh? I didn’t make anything up…Why would I need to bother with you providing such a rich vein of stupidity “sweaty” anybody..a number of people called you on it and nobody defended you. SOMEBODY ELSE reported it and you were banned.You can lie about the reasons for your ban(which you frequently do) but it would seem STW disagreed and also needed a break from you.

It died because you started it. Despite the numerous attempts you made to promote it on here.
Actually having read your post that is up there with your finest work.

You don’t have a point,you think you do,it has been reinforced by a ban. So in your opinion,what got you banned?

Is Underhill the young English 7 that’s supposed to be quite good?

A piece in the Times tiday from Barnes was about Underhill, effectively, he’s ready for a cap, get him now and there will be no issue from the English clubs over the fact he play in Eales as anytime they want him, they can flex the wallet and get him, unlike French based players.
Not sure if that’s true, but suspect there’s something in it.
Anyway, no issues from me getting him capped ASAP, got to make sure the Welsh don’t get him!

But Underhill actually is English, just like North…

I speak Russian, French and Italian, I’m still English.

He’s English, there’s no way the Taffs could breed a player like that. Genetically inferior race.

James Botham was born and raised in Wales though. The international game is littered with “qualified” rather than born players these days, and a complete non-issue for most of us I’d warrant. If Wales manage to poach Underhill I’d be gutted as I think he could be great, but it’s hardly worth bearing a grudge over.

A sudden sensitivity to racism that had deserted you in the aftermath of Marlers remarks. Pity,despite people pointing it out to you,you still don’t actually understand what it is.Both Jamby and Kryton were using the chippy defence of Marler this morning,You are late to the party! Good to see your countryman at it again a couple of posts above,or is it racist/chippy of me to point that out?

You do know that Hartley has an English mum and is a fluent english speaker?!?
