Dismal Pillock

Fiery outing from Lumpy. Fuck Stade Francais. Goodhue limped off, time to step up at test level.

The fuck is this "Captains Referral" bullshit? Some dude gets put in a flat-out headlock literally 2 metres from the ref and poor Ardie has to waste his only referral cos the blind fucking ref didnt blow that shit up. To quote the seppos endless refrain from their TV dramas "do your jahhb".



*EDIT OOPS, ref is diehard cantab TMO clown Paul Williams, as you were, penalty Cantabs.

I agree, can't stand the captains challenge, but Ardie didn't waste his referral, as it was held up, so he kept the right to have one later.
Yep would be good if Lumpy told French to f*** off!

ASav out for 6-to-8 weeks (not 68 :)), tore his MCL on Sunday:

Tom Christie has had surgery on the shoulder he dislocated v Loss Bleus & won't play again this year but Sam Cane's had his pec fixed & shoulder "tidied up while the surgeon was in there" so could be in the AB frame IF there's an EOYT:

Last but not least, Michael Ala'alatoa will join Leinster after SRTT:

Hopefully his last act in a CruSadist jersey will be lifting whatever trophy they're playing for.....

;) Akira actually has got to be good enought to start at super level before he bullies anyone. It must be getting hard for the Akira for test rugby campaign when even the Blues are saying "yeah-nah we'll leave him on bench". ;)
Seriously not real sure what has happened with him, looked ok at start of year, not great but ok.

Geez the Clan can't buy a trick with injuries. Mind you the way it going NZR may have to cancel TT comp as there will be noone left fit to play!

What's up with big PT? I missed seeing it , is he injured?
I will be interested to see how young Darry goes too.

I wouldn't actually write the Clan off in this one after looking at both teams.

Interesting couple of teams for Tribe-Sadists. Good to see Razor remembering to give Whitelock a rest this year, he has tended to play him a lot over past seasons.
