The rugby

La Rochelle out of the Big Cup!
And losing to Quins is a bit like getting beaten by Spurs!

Quite.
That’s some ego he has.
The crowd booed him every time he got the ball.

He is such an idiot, looking forward to some Saffa bringing him down a peg or two at some point. He's worse than Mike Brown.

Anyway, the WRU really are continuing to show their incompetence. Having tried to destroy club rugby as the scapegoats for the regions' lack of success they are now making a complete mess actually trying to fix the issue at regional level itself. All this stems back to Moffatt doing such a poor job when the regions were established in the first place, alienating most club rugby supporters in the process. It's only coming to a head now as the international team managed to somehow string together a few successful periods to paper over the cracks up until a couple of years ago.

I enjoyed the first half of the Gloucester Bath match.
After 5 minutes it looked as if it could be a rout, however Gloucester exceeded expectations to accumulate a handy lead.
But for the actions of one, moronic forward, they might have gone in at HT, two scores up, but as it is, it’s just a 2 point match.
With the bomb squad to come in the second half, I would expect Gloucester’s plucky resistant eventually to be overrun.

I didn’t think that I would be saying this about Gloucester, but the better team lost this evening.
Great game. So competitive.
