Spoken out loud. :oops:

Still... BPA was a tremendous hooker, his work at the Reds was greatly appreciated. I have wished him all the best to see a "garbo" go to success and then Europe. And we can sure use beefing up our hooker options. But let's see how he goes.

I think they will. Thought the tackled player was dropping and did so after McReight was committed to an action. But I dont think a card raised to red during a game is going to be dismissed easily.

What an utter disappointing mess that was. can we simply drop the bye next year? There was still some impressive handling and skills, but carrying out a game plan seemed optional, pushing forward defence almost non existant and a scrum that could not adjust to (an admittedly dopey) ref. Man...

I do think he was a little unlucky but they will call a card there every day of the week.

That metric would have to be massively skewed to warrant even considering Kayo and their bosses after anti rugby stunts last time round. Starting position with any negotiation is a red line through that option.

1 news = the Herald?

I think it's worse than that hoggy. I would hope that at least that self interest met a minimal of management in support of the grass roots, even if at the detriment of the professional game. I'm unconvinced that has been the case. We find ourselves in a position where survival may, at least in...

This is not good on a number of evels. How solid is the reporting media?

After last night though, how much own throws would we win?

Into the broader squad? Won't surprise me.

He's probably right about Cale though.

Though I'm reading it that both teams have fabulous defensive weapons in the line. Just neither are as good with their own throw. It's weird.

The line outs have been bizarre. Barely a line out not lost by the team with the throw. The defensive work from both teams has been fabulpous but neither can win their own ball consistently.

Some seriously dog-play from the Drua there. Awesome work from the Rebels. Memory of the match is Daugunu try just before 70min. Unexpected comedy on the back of determined play.

I'm happy recognising that plenty of rugby knowledgable people disagree with me. My point is more that the issue right now is moot. Rugby must survive first, number of teams is secondary.

I think they lean on the the level of sporting success. And a desire to concentrate the talent to encourage better success. Commercially successful teams without sporting success is not what the RA want and I suspect the shrink to greatness policy has sympathy at RA. Edit: FWIW i don't disagree...

Completely agree. I just don't see any evidence of this, it looks like an opportunity they wish to take - cutting the number of teams where the RA deflects responsibility to the actions of others. I don't like it but they are not wrong. Unfortunately the issue with Rebels goes far beyond the...

This is astoundingly short-sighted.

F'sake, comrad, we are after-all Belorussian. And it isn't unless we beat the black, then Bwahaha. (1:Billion though)
