Winsing up order....

Wasps also being chased for tax

Rumours abound that Wasps are going to declare a Company Voluntary Arrangement with their creditors for the £35m debt they got into to buy the Coventry Building Society Arena (previously the Ricoh)

Eddie Jones has his own beef with public schools and the stereotypical output from them based on how he was treated in his playing days in Australia. What he says on this has to take that into account.

Clare Daly and Mick Wallace – a pair of Quisling f*cks. Two stooges for Putin who are a disgrace to Ireland. Clare Daly crowing about the Amnesty International report criticising Ukraine for daring to defend their cities by placing soldiers in the cities instead of lining up in the countryside in l...

SRU and WR are having legal action taken against them on this case: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/62372097

I predict that the SRU will come out at a significant loss on this, WR less so as at least they have recommendations and processes which the SRU clearly didn't follow.

He also said he hid them, so there's some excuse, but the environment and staff should have been looking out for them.

I’m in flitters after reading this story. Whatever about the diagnosis the treatment of the player and family was and is f%~king shocking. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/they-fixed-siobhan-s-broken-bones-but-turned-their-back-on-her-broken-brain-n668rkwlt A non paywalled copy for those who don'...

Going back to the Plan A Plan B discussion - SquidgeRugby makes a point in his most recent video that the tactic that NZ made so well in the first test to pull us apart (Aaron Smith running backline plays from 9) was worked out and counteracted in a week by Ireland. He also makes the point that our ...

Only real complaint is the lack of sizes for retired props. And a fabric supporters version.

Crests of the counties I've heard

Mad we've gone from never beating NZ ever to beating them, to beating them in their own back yard, to winning an away test series against them. Huge.

Decision

Clearly a preplanned move to target the space in behind.

So a constituent part voting to leave a larger union (UK leaving the eu) is a fine example of democracy. But a constituent part wanting to vote to leave a larger union (Scotland leaving the UK) is not? Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk They already voted on that though? It’s a funny one though, ...

I'm a bit English, born in Leicester, with Welsh, Scots and Viking ancestors who voted to stay in the EU, campaigned against us joining in the first place(I was active in politics back then) but am quite happy we have left, even though I knew it would be a disaster for a lot of folk. We have to sti...

Especially if rights are sold en masse with no real regard for whether they get shown or not.

Yep, UK would be Premier Sports for URC, BT Sports for CC, Amazon Prime for Autumn internationals and Sky Sports for Summer Tests.

TH is having a good game in the loose

Bent comes on and almost insta try. Coincidence? I think not.

Not a great angle for a kick, and the MAB missed one from around here in the first half
