RTE news : Major World Cup doubt for Scotland's Gray
http://www.rte.ie/sport/rugby/2023/0504 ... ands-gray/
Remember seeing Gray on the ground and everyone saying it was a serious injury but thinking it can't be that bad as he was hopped off the pitch with a physio under each arm. Surely such a major injury should have been taken off on a stretcher.

I like your right leg. A lovely leg for the role.
I've got nothing against your right leg.
The trouble is ... neither have you

Re: RWC 2023: The Other Teams
RWC is a proper competition which ensures officials aren't from the two participating sides etc, people will still moan about the appointments but c'est la vie.

Re: RWC 2023: The Other Teams
Its good news for the IRFU, we didn't have anyone on the Referees panel in 2019. Brace was our only representative official (as an AR), now he's on the main panel, Busby is on the AR panel and McNiece and Neville are on the TMO panel

Four English but only one French is a dramatic reversion from 2019.

We can still get An*s Ggardner. He's a struggle.
Re: RWC 2023: The Other Teams
Really disappointed that Hollie Davidson didn’t make it - thought she definitely deserved to be there

I sort of feel a bit like that for all the ANZ refs going back years
