Winters coming;all inclusive rugby thread.

Wrecker the Chiefs v Gloucester game is on ESPN classic.

Haha I saw where Stockport are in the football league the other day-they’re essentially an amateur team now.

Agreed that Vernon is a loss. Hopefully Cips will **** off to do CBB or I’m a stricly get me dancing in the jungle celebrity.

Fanny Cipriani= Gavin Henson lite

Baits trap and waits for A-A…

Wrecker the Chiefs v Gloucester game is on ESPN classic.

Well that is good news. Thank you very much.

Baits trap and waits for A-A…

true to an extent. Even with his colossal ability to waste his talent Henson has achieved much more and at a much higher level though I’d rather shack up with Cips mrs than gavs ex!!
Gavs performance for welsh against sale this season was a master class that cips could only dream of though.

What has to be a worry for Sale supporters is that they don’t appreciate the decent players they have/had; Ritchie Vernon being an example of that.

Thats not true and its not the supporters who buy and sell players. Vernon has been an excellent player every time he has been given the chance, I agree about Grey but I still think Cipriani shows occasional glimpses of magic. It wont be enough for long though.

Bonkers game of rugby in the wild weird west yesterday. Chiefs plying 7’s with 15 in the first 20 minutes, Glaws getting back with some great scores. If anyone can tell me what the final penalty that won it for Exeter was for I would be grateful. Lovely sunshine and a fab atmosphere. My ill mate Andy had a great time, thanks for all your kind words.

Offside I think pigface. Great game.

Fair enough it was hard to see from where we were sitting. Ref made some bewildering decisions but that is par for the course these days. Exeter have got a good setup down there.

I was referring to the management,not the supporters. Most of us would rather have a consistent trier,rather than somebody who looked like they were doing the club a favour. Gray has a habit of that, TBH the only time he looks interested is when he is in the national side. Cipriani, what a waste of fantastic talent,must be mid 20’s now? I will be interested in seeing what Bath do with Heathcoate, have they not just signed the next great white hope from Tigers? Heathcoate was crap for us in the Autumns,but is starting to look the part for Bath.

Any recommendations for travel to Twickenham chaps? We’ll be heading down from Stoke-on-Trent on train….which station should we be heading for?

Healthcote has looked very good for b***. They have signed ford and the orange one (who they see as a 12). Eastmond is currently filling that jersey for them and doing very well.

What team do you follow Wrecker, not Bath evidently 😆

I’m a brizzle fan, although I don’t dislike the *alternative to a shower* really. I like to see all of the West Country teams do well. Very happy for Exeter getting the HC place though.

Bristol are throwing some money at it next year.

Yep. Signed a lot of good players including nicky Robinson who I’ve always though a good player. Ground sold moving to Ashton 🙁
No more of this “bristol fashion” bollocks hopefully. We’ve had trouble holding on to players (mako V, Atwood, arscott, lemi, to’ala etc etc). It’s been an academy for long enough.

that’s going to be sore in the morning

Wow. I like Fonua! (Not that I don’t like Wilkinson, mind)

and that’s a cracking example of his weakness, not his job to tackle that monster.

Bristol are throwing some money at it next year.

Yeah, Andy Robinson as director, Sean Holley as coach and a few decent player signings. I saw a few games at the Mem this season and Bristol lacked concentration all too often. I believe they have a squad capable of gaining promotion next season but they will need to get their mental approach right for 80+ minutes each week.

and that’s a cracking example of his weakness, not his job to tackle that monster.

And yet, a cracking example of his strengths as a player. As when Larry Dayglo was too busy trying to be a superstar and not taking the tackles, JW never shirks them. He may get it wrong, but he never shirks his tackles.

Oddly, when Richard Hill was playing (less of a celeb-wannabe), JW had less tackling to do, as Hill took them on for him.

I have known both Hill and Dallaglio personally over the years. There’s only one I’d drink with. And he’s not an Italian.

Ooh flashy you name dropper you 😉

Stupid I pad 😳

Flasy is teh awesumz

😆

Shocking technique from st johnny though. Going high and smashing was never going to work. Apparently the big guy has been linked to scarlets. Have to get in touch with the Quinnels butcher to keep him fed!!!

JW might have got dumped but the forward’s momentum was stopped and he was easily snagged. Not many breaks were made through JW’s channel throughout his career and it’s been a long one

Yeah, let’s find some examples of Jonny’s not so poor technique. I bet there are a few.

Twickenham Sunday. Looking forward to seeing this fella play (and normally I don’t wana watch SA 😉 )

Crap vid, but if you saw him in Glasgow you’ll know what I mean!

Since we are name dropping; I played against a few decent back rowers, up here; Jefferys,the Calder bros,Doddie Weir etc. Down in That London I played against a few good un’s (Neil Back when he had long hair) Richard Hill was the best player I have ever been on the same pitch as,and Gavin Hastings was captain of London Scottish when I first went down.Hill was the wing forwards wing forward. Coaching England youth now isn’t he?

Rabo Play Off Semis tonight…

Hard to see past an all Irish final. I would love to see the Scarlets do well but if there is ever a team to not get a result against it would be Ulster

I am going for an Ulster v Glasgow final.

Just got a feeling Glasgow are going to edge Leinster tomorrow

Glasgow have more or less their best team available, they can do it 🙂

All kicking off at Ravers. Nice boy Trimble getting 10 mins rest!

Trimble looks to have come off second best… Liam Williams doesn’t take a lot of winding up 🙂

Bowe is looking very much up to speed too

Damn, why did I just big up Bowe

Indeed Dan 😀

Lol at big Nick swatting the Scarlets prop off one handed

Hmmm…. I think I’ll be going for a ride at half time

Good performance from Ulster, knew we were in the final after 50 mins and took the foot off the gas. Looking forward to a day out at the RDS!

Any predictions for Premiership final…. already got tickets so hoping my teams there 🙂
