I am struggling to get my head around the concept of Marler being posh 😆

Everything is relative Pigface 🙂

Surfer, i was behind the sticks so about 10m from the action. You could almost feel the collisions going in. Stringer once again showed his class, pointing out what Tiggers were doing and moving round to watch it.
On the point of insults, Cockers calling his no.17 a ‘f******g spastic’ at the death – is that considered acceptable now?

I know we’ve been going round in circles but Marker and Lee where trading insults, the objective was to wind each other up. Gpysy is not a racial term as travellers can be Irish or Romanian/Romany. I’d imagine Lee is as embarrased as anyone about this, ot was dealt with man to man on the field. I’d love to hear some on field audio of an AB/Wallabies match, that won’t be for the feignt hearted.

I think we stand next to each other every home game MD 🙂 I’ll wear a red carnation.

Warburton is either injured or fighting for form on returning from injury. I’m sure he’d love to be in a position of playing too much rugby! Let’s not forget he had a bit of a bump to the head too.

True, I can’t remember the last time I watched Warburton in a club game and notice anything special. On the flip side you have players like Cuthburt who look positively World Class in the Pro 12 at times 🙂

Is ‘gypsy boy’worse than the time a certain frequent poster on this thread refered to a player as a ‘cheating micker’?

Ben Te’o supposedly gonna be fastracked into the England setup?

Haven’t really seen much of him at Leinster although I was pretty impressed with him at the Rabbitohs – thought he had a lot more transferable skills than S- B– ever did.

Sale have gone and bought a run and wriggler, wonder if they will stick him in the scrum 😆

Bit of gossip about Bath, Mike Ford has his little gang of favourite players and the rest are virtually ignored. He is generally very unpopular with staff and they can’t wait for him to go. Bath forwards have zero motivation as Ford pretty much ignores them.

Hopefully EJ will take note of the total failure of the obsession the RFU have had with league converts playing centre and see some sense.

Barrie-Jon Mather, Henry Paul, Andy Farrell, Shontayne Hape, Joel Tomkins, S– B—— etc

Without personalising this to one player, I am with you on this one AA. This leading with the arm (padded or not) is a bad habit IMO. Even Tuilagi did it in slow mo to Jonathan Ross – although perhaps that was an exceptional circumstance. Capn Biter even made reference to it.

Connaught’s AJ McGinty signs for Sale. Steve Diamond calls him ‘the best fly half in the Pro12’ .

They should get rid of all pads/armour and only allow head protectors/scrum caps for those who are actually getting their ears squashed between two backsides.

Well, if it’s “gypsy boy” I’d say it’s highly relevant!!

Really? So it would be ok for welsh non-gypsys to use racist terms but not English non-gypsys??

I heard two black guys on site…I guess they were friends…calling one another “****”. I was quite surprised the next morning when one of them threatened to throw me off the scaffolding after saying “Good morning ****.” Thankfully the site manager accepted that it was just a bit of #topbantz but I’ve been asked to attend some diversity training.

@aa straws clutching at

If his nickname is gypsy boy or similar then its high relevant

What if it was 22 white guys calling the sole black guy “****”?
Not that it’s comparable with abuse which isn’t racist.
