    IJ, be the change you want to see man. 😀

    Conor O’Shea summoned to meeting at IRFU to explain defending an English player. All happening today I tell you.

    Going to see Gloucester play

    which is why in the past 3 weeks bickering has been preferable to match discussions

    Lolz

    Come on you warriors! 4 wins in a row in the prem. Unlikely to be repeated this side of the rapture! 😀

    4 games left for the Scarlets to balls up a Play Off spot! Looking forward to Cardiff tomorrow and the last game of the season against Munster is a potentially iffy one with them finally climbing up the table. Could be all to play for

    Sale face the result of the Premiership Brain Trust’s ‘organisational skills’ next wee when they have to play 3 games in a week.
    Friday night against a Montpellier team sat near the top of the T14, Wednesday night against Bath then Sunday at home to Bath.
    Oh well, looks like the away fixture will have to be thrown away due to the idiots in charge. Lets just hope Bath’s forwards are as unhappy as rumours suggest.

    Had the Six Nations found MArler guilty and given him a ban of 2 weeks or whatever and reduced it to 0 for lack of previous and contrition but given him a warning with regards to future conduct blah blah or maybe just fined him and given him a public bollocking it would all have been fine.

    Hear hear….

    Me too!

    Luckily we’ve got a huge back yard with several rugby balls to kick and also a variety of smaller/softer rugby balls to kick inside. 😀

    Sassenach is actually the name originally given to all English speakers,ie southern Scots. The defination of southern being non-residents of north of the Highland fault line.

    Almost all. My Freeview is a bit sh1t (only about 8 channels picked up!) so I can’t comment on that, bu BBC Wales, NI, Alba all available by changing your location at the bottom of iplayer. TG4/ S4C available in all locations direct from their sites. Only RAI is hard to get in the UK (is hot and miss for me anyway) and a handful are on SKY, so Cricfree is the best bet

    Find it amusing that Bath signed Henry Thomas from Sale, and since then Sale have had the best pack stats in the Prem & Bath some of the worst!

    Thomas been pinged twice in the scrum already. I can’t pretend to understand why! 🙄

    Dregs v Spreys was good tonight. Both teams playing great rugby.

    Underhill was excellent again, then limped off. Perhaps that’s the tactics. Get him injured out of the summer tour then pick him on residency. 🙂

    Anybody watching Super Rugby this season?

    The Sunwolves are my new man-crush. All of them. :D. (Closely followed by the Jaguares.)

    Entertaining Ospreys v Dregs match. Lyn and Kingsley Jones getting booed by their home fans isn’t a good sign.

    I am the change I want to be, dd, my guru. 😉

    Following Connaght – Ulster on Twitter. Surprised Connaght aren’t more in it to be honest.

    Other than that…know when you do an April’s Fool and things get a bit serious and you think “I ought to say something…” but you don’t. 🙂

    I was really hoping they’d be playing in Singapore when I’m out there. Alas no. 🙁

    Henry Thomas off, he’s bet an absolute liability tonight.

    Think the red really harsh on Watson. He didn’t jump because Ashton impeded him, and his momentum took him into Goode. I would have sent Cook off for kicking Vunipola in the head on the floor though. He was nowhere near the ball.

    Alex Cuthbert underwent knee surgery on Wednesday and will miss the rest of the season

    Had missed that news. Season couldn’t get much worse for the poor guy. With his contract up and declining a dual contract in what looked like the hope of attracting a top offer elsewhere it couldn’t have all happened at a worse time

    … and in other news

    Owens, who took charge of the World Cup final between New Zealand and Australia at Twickenham last October, has been handed his 71st Test when Fiji tackle Tonga in Suva on 11 June. That game will see him pass South African Jonathan Kaplan’s mark of 70 Tests, 13 years after refereeing his first international match.

    as blatant as it comes, he cleanly stamped him square on the bonce!

    Being a Sale fan is hard, buy so glad I’m not a Bath fan this season. Ford out in May?

    Was it in the heat of the moment?

    It’s the polar opposite of the Brown incident in the 6N IMO. Brown went for the ball, Cook kicked him in the head.

    Haven’t actually seen it, I should add.

    Was just #topbantz. I’m sorry. That makes it all OK, I think. 🙂

    Dregs fans are a rum bunch

    I haven’t been up there for over ten years but it was the ground – and the fans – I liked least. Even ‘The House of Pain*’ felt friendly compared to it. And Welford Rd was positively cuddly.

    *”House of Fun, more like” – Stuart Davies, after the Whites won the championship there.

    Personally i found the Dragons fans to be really friendly last month.

    Good, maybe it’s changed since I was last there. (Or maybe it’s because you carry an axe? 🙂 )

    To be fair, they were away at the AJ Bell and had just been on the receiving end of a kicking, but they had good songs and were eager to chat about everything.
    Last time i met Dragons fans (HC comp) they ended up pouring brandy down my throat whilst teaching me Welsh rugby songs – i was a mess!

    Are you sure? Sounds far too sophisticated for a Dregs fan. And nobody that far east can speak Welsh… 😆

    Well, i think it was brandy! It was after the match in the John Peel pub in Stockport, lovely folk (if a bit scary looking) but i don’t remember leaving the pub!

    …very unlike the unpleasant memories of some young Ospreys fans at the Liberty at the end of a match. Being spat upon isn’t pleasant. I know which club i’d rather visit should the fixtures arise again.

    The Scarlets fans were lovely as well, not met the Blues yet.
