The rugby

[Blazing Saddles]

The game is becoming a farce.
I really do not like Leicester, but to give them a yellow for a clear, no head contact, is bonkers.
The officials must be watching a different match.

Officials in the Newcastle v Leicester game are shocking. They gave a Leicester try for a blatant double movement and TMO just called head contact in a tackle, ref said she couldn’t see it clearly on the screen and TMO insists there was definitely head contact even though the pictures suggest it was on the chest.

Should be at Pontypool v Newport but I’m on taxi duty tonight. Thought it would be on S4C but apparently not

Terrible match so far, it’s like watching the Welsh regions

Not sure what game the presenter is watching!

My nephew is there.
Said it’s like one man and his dog.

Small consolation, but the Sale Exeter match is worse.
At least there’s been some open field running at the start of the second half.

Meanwhile, Leinster are finished. Losing to the Dragons at HT.

Who thought Austin Healy would make a good commentator especially on Leicester matches?

The competition that no fans or players want, the R360, has been delayed by 2 years.
Hopefully never to be spoken about ever again.
Tindall needs to read the room and give up.

I am watching Gloucester vs Harlequins instead of Wales vs SA, are there are more internationals in the league game.

As expected the SA scrum is causing problems. Wales have done OK on their put it but can’t cope with SA on their put in. All 4 tries have come either directly from or as a result of SA scrums (one pushover, one following a lineout from a scrum penalty and two from moves off the scrum. Unable to get or retain possession to put any pressure on the SA defence too. Oddly though Wales have done well in mauls both defensively and in attack.

 

[Pross]

Not good, Wainwright off with an eye injury and he’s been vital in Wales taking their own scrum ball then a yellow card for offside in the build up to SA’s 5th try. That 90 odd point record defeat could be coming into play or at least the margin of it.

 

[Pross]

Absolute shambles now, throwing away the ball in probably the best attacking position and conceding a length of the field try (even if he did lose control when grounding the ball).

 

[Pross]

SA about to make 8 changes at once!

Boy am I glad that I decided to watch Gloucester notch up the first win of the season and grad a bonus point in the process.

Errrrr Tomos Williams was outstanding.
