The rugby

Always happens!

Hilarious to see Randall throw that pass - still laughing my head off.

For all the great attacking play Bristol can play, they are a really, really stupid rugby team.

What a crazy finish. Sarries are definitely Bristol’s bogey team.

Almost makes my weekend when they lose and get nothing, particularly through stupidity.
Batley will hopefully get cited and banned.
Lam worried about the EQP rule because he recruits too many non-EQP players and when injuries hit it causes a problem.

Well that was utterly terrible.
Bath awfully poor.
Officials dreadful.
Exeter excellent and thoroughly deserved and comprehensive winners.

Could make the last game of the regular season interesting. Winner of Bath vs Leicester decides where the semi-final is going to be played. Both teams will therefore really be up for it.

Of course a lot could happen before then.

I can’t watch being out of the country.
What the heck is going on in Franklin’s Gardens?
It was 0-0 half an hour ago.
Bristol brought their joke defence again?

 

[Blazing Saddles]

94-33, I mean wtf?

Unbelievable and Bristol got a bonus point!

The English league is very strange. I assume it gets massively affected by the international season.

Never thought I’d say this but Cardiff put in a decent performance last night and it was actually a decent game, the URC usually looks much lower standard than the Gallagher.

Very strong from Bath today. I wonder if putting out the first 15 against Newcastle was down to last week’s defeat?

Sad news, one of the great Scottish players of that era. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/articles/ce8p60nj9e9o

Well done Red Roses 😊

Brian Moore has retired from commentary duties too. He’s only 64.
I know he’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but I liked this honesty and he will be missed.
And he was a great player in his day. World player of the year in 1991.

Hated him as a player, because he was so good, but he's a great pundit. I particularly like how he didn't adopt the condescending tone that most seem to have done when describing the laws to people who are new to rugby.

Could be due to his legal training, where you have to assume that everyone is stupid.
