I remember he coached Newtown. I also remember him as the only rugby league commentator who could make the game interesting. I did a fair bit of driving on weekends way back when, and I was always happy to listen to his call. He had a famous longstanding feud with Roy Masters.

Belfast's biggest rugby stadium holds 12,000. There is a soccer stadium that holds 18,000.

Its really hard to plan at the moment, thanks to Covid19.

Ravenhill (Belfast) has a capacity of 12,000. Lansdown Road has a capacity of 49,000.

I think it was Wayne Bennett who said: "there are two kinds of coaches: those who have been sacked, and those who are waiting to be sacked". Don't feel sorry for him, he has a pretty full rugby involvement, including with Eastwood.

There was an article in today's Hurled asserting that Manenti will have wider responsibilities that just running the Men's Sevens. He will also be looking for talent for the squad in both club and provincial teams. He has had a lot of Shute Shield experience. Manenti is not in it for the...

The Poms own Twickers, so it is a gold mine for them. No wonder they don't play anywhere else!

I was not actually criticising their performance, Reg, just adding a note of realism given that in my long lifetime I have seen the Keewees beat us far too often (in the Mens, the Womens is a different matter).

He'd probably get a red.

I have not watched the games yet, but will tonight. I like the optimism, but would add a note of caution. The Keewees are not in the mix yet.

Gee, you love your rugby, Reg!!! I'm too old to be up that late. Or that early.

Strewth! The kid's electric!

If he has bulked up a bit and still retains his mobility, he will be a force with which to be reckoned. He has most of the skills.

That should remain private IMHO.

Personally, I count this season as being successful, even if only for the wins against the Saffers. The losses to the Scots and Welsh were acceptable, given the circumstances.

If only......

The player himself was certainly not convinced that there was no infringement, he slowed down and looked at the referee. Dead giveaway.
