summer rugby

Does anyone know where someone might be able to download the game if they lacked moral fibre?

+1. I too lack a serviceable moral compass…….

Been busy at work all day, did AWJ get a yellow? If so what for?

I disagree A-A, we know the Aussies will play a pest at 7. We need somebody quick with a tidying brief or we will lose pens all day.

True, but we also don’t need a backrow with two sevens and a 6.5 which SOB Tips and Warbs would be, one of tips/Warbs then its between, SOB, Croft and Lydiate for 6 and Faletau, Heaslip at 8.

It would be tempting to put Lee Halfpenny in a box until the first test

he will be top of the Aussie target list or maybe just behind Sexton. Healey will be a big loss if he’s properly broken.

best I can do so far wrecker

great offload by north for BOD’s first try

Zokes is posting all about rugby? Why the comment?

Still going to end up with Croft in the backrow.

Dunno why some people on these threads have to talk like football fans.
Dawson “not fit” to talk about Howley? What utter crap.
Joost, Howley & Dawson were all fantastic. (And I can’t stand S.A.)

See ya.

The clue’s in the OP

his first two posts were just digs at me, he’s a tiresome ****

Is that the alleged bite?

Looks like the bloke puts his hand in his mouth

My observations from that highlight video:

Western Force were shite!!!
1/2p and Sexton are shoe ins. Other backs for me would be Phillips, North, Bowe, BOD and either Tuilagi or Roberts.

Vunipola is awesome and could start. Front row of him Adam and Hibbard is my guess.

Heaslip has to be right in contention for a start.

Tuilagi and BOD Looked like a pairing that worked well although Tuilagi was at fault for their second try.

AWJ looked a bit suspect for their first try.

hard to tell isn’t it, depends on who put what where first, Healey doesn’t appear to be letting go mind.

AWJ looked a bit suspect for their first try.

looked like SOB rushing up and missing leaving a hole to me, if Vunipola can improve his scrummaging he could be very useful, Healey if not banned or broken should be test 1 imo. Not bad to have Gethin waiting in the wings either.
Its hard to judge much when playing shite teams though. I want to see how Croft goes when having to defend like crazy for wave after wave, I’d prefer Lydiate maybe but Lydiate wont look much good playing shit teams that don’t test his defence……

Healey if not banned or broken should be test 1

Corbsiero is aus bound as we speak.

Corbs really hasn’t played a great deal of rugby this year!

Corbsiero is aus bound as we speak.

is that true? He’ll struggle to get picked over Gethin imo.

Oh and Tom I checked the try and it certsinly wasnt AWJ at fault. He was the pillar and had to stay tight to the ruch. Scorer was SOBs man. SOB rushed up and only managed a slap.

Look what my dad got me as a present whilst he was on holiday last week…..could hardly contain my joy!

It’s true, gats has called him up. No duff.

Good player if he is on form. Shit about Healey though if he’s gone.

Healers not gone yet. His ankle is not broken, Corbs draughted as cover just in case. Hope he gets a game though; he’s missing the arg tour for this! Be a shame for him if he doesn’t get a run out.

You have to wonder just how many injuries it’s going to take before Grant gets a phone call. Has he shagged Rowntree’s missus or something?

Heineken cup draw for next season

Pool 1: Leinster, Northampton, Ospreys, Castres
Pool 2: Toulon, Cardiff Blues, Glasgow, Exeter
Pool 3: Toulouse, Saracens, Connacht, Zebre
Pool 4: Clermont Auvergne, Harlequins, Scarlets, Racing Metro
Pool 5: Ulster, Leicester, Montpellier, Treviso
Pool 6: Munster, Perpignan, Edinburgh, Gloucester

Healey cited for biting.
The citing commissioner is called Freek Burger 😀

No such thing as an easy pool in the Heineken. Happy enough with Ulsters pool, we stuffed the Tigers in Belfast and were unlucky to loose in Leicester so we have a good shout of getting out of the pool.

I don’t think the citing will end Healy’s tour, more likely to be the injury.

Another tough group for Munster. 😐

Will have to try and get a ticket for the Edinburgh away game.

duckie, any use in asking you about that?

Toulons looks fairly weak

What is the draw based on? It is just cos Carduff are above Glasgow and London North are above Glaws.
D-D They will be plenty because they will prob move it to Murrayfield. Drinking wise, well it will be a dirty job, but I am willing to appoint meself as your tour guide.

Actually, re-thinking, it’s not such a bad draw for Munster.

Duckie…yer on matey!!

Perpingana for eth Ed game? Anyone fancy it?

Apologies to the Welsh contingent for discussing the Heineken cup…you see, it’s this competition that runs every year where clubs from around Europe compete to be crowned as Champions of Europe. 🙂

Toulons looks fairly weak

Yes there is a Welsh team in it 😉

😀

As to the citing, a case could be made (by me especially cos I was a forward) that the scrum half was maybe sticking fingers in his face and got caught and got his complaint in first.

Think the seedings for the draw are based on past pefromance in the HC.

My hopes for Edinburgh this coming year is simply to score a point in the first two matches which would be an improvement over this year. 😳

Yep Toulon’s is easiest group. Quins is a tough one.

I only caught the first 25 mins of the match yesterday so missed both bits re CH. But is he in danger of becoming another Hartley ie, good player but prize one ****t and liability at the same time? Put both of them together and the yellow card risk jumps immediately.

As an (ex-) Hooker, I am still staggered at how poor the line out throwing remains at the highest level in the game. You can almost see the fear in the hookers’ eyes in the way that Thommo always had a pained expression on his face even in 2003.

To be fair to Best he was chucking at two new to him locks, whereas Hibbard only had POC new

AA, I like Hibbard (despite…!) but again not confident that he can hit his man. He has come a long way since staring in Overboard. Bet he has some tales about Goldie?

I would have expect to have been dropped if I missed two or more throws by the kind of margins that we still see at the top level. Perhaps, I am being too nostalgic. We used to actually hook the ball when I last played as well!!

Despite oppo, I though Lions looked good for first part that I saw and still great competition for places. Ok, not at 15 or 10 now!!
