Benetton response - put Traore in a very natural looking video saying his team mates are sorry and apologised.

Re: URC 22/23
I see Peter Jackson advocating a B&I league. The URC is looking like it will prosper and has the full backing of three unions (Irish, Italian & SA), lukewarm support from the Scots and a '' we have nothing else'' level of support from the Welsh. Why would IRFU tie themselves in with those that would stab them in the back at the first opportunity?

He is old skool, wishing he had a time machine and got the Welsh sides to jump in bed with the English in the late 1990's when they had the chance.the spoofer wrote: ↑December 22nd, 2022, 2:35 pm I see Peter Jackson advocating a B&I league.

Ruddock's tackle stats consistently too low for me to be taken seriously as a Six Nations blindside..... Ruddock's defensive stats don't stack up. - All Blacks Nil, Jan 15th, 2014

I assume whoever did it their name will be leaked soon. I hope he has a good lawyer. TBF I am kinda glad this happened. Hopefully a lot of these idiots see the consequences and the revulsion this caused an realize that most people don't think this way.

Aimee Barrett-Theron making a good hand of Sharks v Lions game in Durban. Hard work in a high-paced game in warm weather.

Re: URC 22/23
So Stormers just four points behind us with equal games played by half-way through the regular season. Big difference though playing in 29C at altitude to what faces us on Monday, playing in 6C with attitude.

Re: URC 22/23
The second leg of the 1872 Cup fixture was a good win for Glasgow by 7 points in an excellent contest.

It also contained a word of warning for Ireland as Gregor Townsend was no doubt impressed by the performances of many of his Scottish Squad.
Make no mistake, Scotland looks ahead of England Wales & Italy at this point and shouldn't be under-estimated this season, or next September.

Re: URC 22/23
Here we go again with half arsed proposals out of Wales.
Suggestion that Ealing could join the URC under the auspices of the WRU but playing out of London as a replacement for or a merger with one of the regions
Do you think they have checked it with the RFU

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

On more or less the same basis, but related to Benetton & Zebre on this occasion, I think Italy will produce a shock in the RWC. They have the players and Coach to target a game to make a headline.

Re: URC 22/23
Ulster presenting a very positive outlook for their game against Glasgow. One of the really interesting selection is that of Cormac Izuchukwu on the bench. I hope he gets decent minutes:

Re: URC 22/23
Glasgow have 10 wins on the bounce now. That is some going. Dark horses for the League.
You know I'm going to lose,
And gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby, I don't want to live FOREVER!
