Winters coming;all inclusive rugby thread.

Example; When A-A broke the restraining order and was found inside Gav’s bedroom wearing nothing but baby oil and a winning smile

I just did a little sick in my mouth. Not going to sleep for weeks…

Cole slowing the ball down, got a stomp no problem with that personally. Healy was a bit headless all match. Meh they are forwards arent they meant to be big and tough. The Judo throw deserves what he gets.

Have you seen the Tindall clearing out of the Northampton player after Cowan does his knee. Wow Bosh have it 😆

i hope he isnt rushed back too soon.

Goode is redefining the art of full-back play.

**** hell another one, didnt Ashton redefine wing play last year

Just saw this lurking on the rugbydump near the tindal clearout
The new Gethin

That was a cracking try and some finish to out gas a full back and a centre!

The forward pass stumped them 😀

Can’t get onto video sites from work but..WP Nel scored a cracking props try for Edinburgh against Leinster i think in January.

From 30m, a dummy a step a turn of pace and some prop power to finish, it is arguably the highlight of Edinburghs season!

Them tying their own shoelaces was the highlight up until that point and even then most fumbled and knocked on.

Dragons v Glasgow on scrum v online now I think….can’t get it on my nexus. Will it be worth getting my laptop out for? I’m imagining that it will be a dire game!

Glasgow game is not bad actually, couple of tries already and some decent play from both sides.

Super rugby season starts this weekend if you aren’t getting enough rugby at present.

Scarlets Munster tomorrow on S4C so available outside Wales. Any way Scarlets can win?

Try fest for Glasgow and a thumping for Dragons, still 5 minutes to go. Its on welsh BBC2 if you can get that online.

Glasgow destroying dragons at present 53-3 in Wales.
Glasgow scoring good tries but dragons look awful.

Edit: beaten to it

I haven’t watched the Dragon this season but a struggle wouldn’t be a surprise given the number of players who left/ are injured. Who are the leading lights in the Dragons squad this season?

Watched the Ospreys and Ulster on iplayer today and Pinaar was awesome yet again. Certainly not his best game but such a talent. Do Ulster play with 3 centres and let Ruan cover 9 and 10 combined? 😀

Given the fact that the bulk of the Glasgow squad are on Scotland duty it really shows the depth that we now have. Very very happy right now 🙂

Very good result for Glasgow away from home, keeps the pressure on Ulster who were poor again tonight. Even though they stumbled to s bonus point win they were sloppy at the breakdown and not accurate enough in attack.

Dan Pienaar was good last week and certainly can cover both positions very well.

Interesting fact, Ulster used their 46th different player for the season tonight, 41 of which are Irish qualified. Hopefully this bodes well for the future

My comment about Pinaar against the Ospreys was more that Ulster didn’t appear to play with a fly half 😀 It was just Ruan completely running the show for Ulster to the extent of appearing to be at both 9 and 10… does he have a brother? 😀

Yeah I knew what you were getting at 😀

We struggled last week at fly half, Olding was making his debut and tbh was a bit out of his depth, his time will come though.

So tomorrows massive relegation battle sees Danny go head to head with Gav. Massive call from the Lip to start Gav at ten after just two sub appearences since his latest injury. Must win game for both teams.

This Sarries pitch is going to be interesting.

Quinns Tiggers is a cracking game. Some good streams online.

Loving the match so far, should be a cracking second half.

It’s games like this that lead me to call for Care at 9 for England. He’s been excellent.

Just realised that Nick Easter is playing at 4!

What a try from Care!

He’s just made Tait look like he has all the mobility of a pre pro era front rower!

Have to agree unfortunately for Leicester!

Loving how excited the commentators are every time tuillagi gets the ball!

Yeah they quite like him don’t they!

Are there any other live streams for Scarlets/ Munster?

Damn S4C Live Player doesn’t want to work 🙁

Finally got S4C working on the phone 😀

Scarlets are leading Munster 15-3 at the moment. Samson Lee (of rough buggers for a no nonsense mid week Lions team fame in earlier posts) is on so I look forward to some “niggle” 😀

The new young 10 is looking good again this week while ROG is bandaged like a mummy!

Parisse sent off today for chopsing at the ref. Great player but he is a ****.

Any online streams for the Sale game?

dont think its on the telly box

POSTED 1 DAY AGO # REPORT-POST

Bruce how much of the excellent form do you think is down to Townsend as coach? I for one was surprised when Lineen got shifted out the way but Toonie seems to be doing very well…

Good question. I have no idea 🙂

I have to hold up my hand and say that I was absolutely spitting nails when Lineen was ousted, especially at the way it was done. I was royally pissed off because the attack coach from a national team that had scored 2 tries in 6 games had just been parachuted into the top job at my team seemingly for the sole reason that he was chummy with the old boy network at Murrayfield. The pre-season games didn’t do much to make me feel better.

But then things improved and continue to improve. I don’t think it was one factor but maybe a combination of things like a generation of young players such as Hogg, Murchie, and Harley coming on the scene, the ‘new coach syndrome’ that always seems to lift the performance of a team at least in the short term, and some clever foreign signings like Matawalu, Straus, and Maitland. Also, I think he was inheriting a team that had very good foundations thanks to Lineen.

Or maybe it’s all just been blind luck and we’re about to come crashing down. This being a Scottish team I’m definitely not discounting that possibility.

Why was Townsend seemingly so ineffective for Scotland and so effective for Glasgow? Maybe he was stifled under Robinson or maybe he just got really lucky at Glasgow. I now think that he is a good coach and I’m hoping for big things.

Or maybe it’s all just been blind luck and we’re about to come crashing down. This being a Scottish team I’m definitely not discounting that possibility.

Can’t wait for Ulster v Glasgow on Friday 🙂

Wasps & Gloucester on ESPN classic – sky 425

Can’t see LW winning this one 😥
