URC 22/23

[riocard911]

That is absolutely disgusting

That's a sacking regardless of who the player is.

Scumbag behaviour by whoever it was. To one's own teammate? Unbelievable in this day and age.

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

It just gets worse and worse. Lost a lot of respect for Treviso which was a team I used to root for.

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.

He's always been a moutpiece for the Welsh clubs.

Federal Prosecutor now involved and a player suspended.

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.

Strange yellow object in the sky down in Durban Looks a lot warmer and drier there than here! Decent game so far.

Sharks 37-10 Lions FT

[riocard911]

Stormers putting the Bulls to the sword big time! 34-23, 55 mins. Ar fheabhas!!!

[Ruckedtobits]

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.

FT: Stormers 37-27 Bulls

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.

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

Thanks.
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.

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:

Glasgow have 10 wins on the bounce now. That is some going. Dark horses for the League.
