So, what fvckin eejit changed the rules of the road so that the correct action for drivers to take when 20 yards behind a cyclist indicating right is to speed up and threaten to overtake them on the outside halfway through the manoeuvre ? I'll get you next time! Jaysus paddy, that's some banger you...

Totally agree Doc. Messing with the rules would be a huge "fix" for no problem. England's leadership on pitch and off were made to look like proper mugs. Everybody else doesn't have to pretend otherwise to spare their blushes. Listen, there's already a game where an offside line is create...

Was announced last month. BTW Johng anyone who says you're a bully is talking through their proverbial. I know the powers that be might not be happy with me for saying this on the forum but I feel that it's something that has to be stated publicly. I'm quite sure I'm not alone in expressing these s...

Lowe has scored 100 tries this season?

Janey Mack - how can we afford him...

Best of luck Zane. Always a solid player for us.

The funny thing is, with everyone fit, Conway is probably on the bench. With Sweetnam, Earls and Zebo as first choice. Bit harsh on earls and Zebo there. Defensively they have been very good imo. Against Scotland many blamed earls for the poor defence which was completely wrong. I can't remember th...

Ross Byrne was outstanding tonight. I hope Mr Cahill had a quiet, smug smile at some stage, because he earned it. The timing of those two cross field kicks was exquisite. His play tonight was sublime. Just because God aka Graham Henry didn't anoint you doesn't mean you won't make it here. A very as...

He never retired Allegedly due to complications with insurance. He was all but retired, due to concussion, and is now back in training. It's not good. Key word in that sentence is "allegedly" With all due respect this is pedantry. Regardless of whether he was "retired", "al...

I think it's more that the Lions usualy have a pretty young, raw talent that wasn't necessarily first choice for their country in the previous 6 nations. They make them carry around that stupid stuffed toy. Earls did fit the bill there in 09. One of the finest things from around that time was this ...

I understand the sentiment CE, but that really is picking and choosing. For me you either accept all of the benefits of the rule or none of them It is totally hypocritical sentimental nonsense on my part. I am totally in favour of people who choose come to live in Ireland to make their lives also h...

Playing 7s never hurt Lawrence Dallaglio's career, plus if any of the England forward eight had played 7s they would have had the cop on to run through "tackle only" rucks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Nor the 37 New Zealanders who went on to play for the All Blacks Considering how m...

To be fair, it was a good kick.

Plus the Zebo one isn't a cut and dried situation of conceding. There's a chance to defend. Sexton's was a clear cut decision to take a (pretty much guaranteed) 3 points or not. This is nonsense LRIP, conceding a 5 yard attacking scrum against a forward eight who were dominant in the scrum at that ...

Top carrier was CJ Stander with 26 Heaslip was top tackler. On game I'd agree Zebo was iffy. I'm not saying he should ve 15 but Kearney was very poor and having rewatched it I'm of sane opinion. I'd argue even Leinster know it and have Isa as their man. On vackrow. None played bad vut stats show ou...

I must have missed something about the Zebo performance. He's being slated everywhere but all I can think of was when he tried to play the ball near the try line and the knock on when he'd busted a gut to get back and was smashed pretty hard. He had one sensational tackle out wide when he rushed up...
