I would love Pro 18 with 5 South African Teams and either 1 Argentine Team or a 5th Welsh Team (Return of Pontypridd/Bridgend?) Literally nobody wants that. Well I do No offence dude, but you've had some pretty terrible ideas regarding formats for a prospective SA involved league - 3 conferences of...

Congrats to Sarries for their run anyway, incredible team and an example of team spirit and resilience. Well done for keeping it classy.

It's a well known fact that neither Cody or Gavin have ever dropped an established name from their Championship winning sides - so there's no precedent there

I’d stick a 10er across a couple of games that don’t involve Ulster or Ireland. Harmless fun. Plus its a decent barometer for what people are expecting to happen. Sarries to win at 4/1 is simply outrageous value so everyone and their granny must be jumping on the Leinster bandwagon. It’s a bit of h...

I always thought, with no scientific basis, that Venus is Earth as it used to be, Earth is Earth as it currently is, and Mars is Earth as it will be in the future (ie impling that all three planets did experience / will experience life of some sort at a certain point) It could be the other way arou...

More the fact that he’s the star of the IRBs ‘This is a Red Card Tackle’ video for one of the hits he got let off for. Not even a penalty thanks to Angus Gardner And if it happened now, after the reinterpretation of the laws, then it would be. Try and maintain some credibility. It has always been a...

Jackman was musing on the42 that maybe Cooney is the kind of guy who struggles if he's not the clear cut first choice at 9. Admitted that it could be nonsense, but was putting it out as food for thought. Don't see it myself. When Cooney struggled to establish himself at Leinster and COnnacht it was...

Second one YC and pen try all day long, but never a red.

First one could easily have been a red and would be today, but yellow would have been fine.

Judging both of them as no offence though

The point is it would be totally wrong for the citing committee for his latest offence to change those decisions retrospectively; they don't have the authority to go back and upgrade previous citing decisions. So while outrage at the previous refereeing / TMO / citing decisions may or may not be ap...

Ignoring the fact he should have got in trouble for 2 dangerous tackles in 3 weeks I 2018, attempted to Decapitate George Ford in a similar manner to this in the Premiership final and that he constantly walks the line on high tackles.

The daft penos are the not rolling away ones when your are being pinned into the ruck. The kick JJ missed in front of the posts was ridculous. Scannell comes into clear Sexton out and falls on him pinning him down. Tbf Brace was even handed and they got donw for it too. I think the point of it is y...

The rule should be weeks or matches - whichever is longer.

Stops situations like Cronin's non drugs ban and clubs trying to claim their global superstar was going to turn out for the A teams challenge match.

Ireland in with England, Wales and Georgia for this 8 Nations thingy. Other pool is France, Scotland, Italy and Fiji. How have they worked those out? Doesn't seem balanced pools. I think they based it on the 6N games that are yet to play and avoiding doubling up fixtures. ie we still have to play F...

In the new format, the eight highest-ranked teams from the 2019/20 Guinness Pro14, Gallagher Premiership, and Top 14 will qualify. The 24 clubs will be divided into two pools of 12 , with each club playing four games in the pool stage – two at home and two away. The knock-out stages will consist of...

If you play everyone once then there's no need for 2 conferences.

1-2 place into semis

3v6
4v5

Done.

Not the worst suggestion I've heard.

Remember as well though that there is some overlap between league games and Internationals, so its not quite 46 weeks out of the year or whatever.

Sounds like 2 conferences of 2 Divisions that rotate. Bundle the Scots with Italians to get 4 in 1 Division. Year 1: Welsh/Irish - ScoIt/SA Year 2: Welsh/SA - Irish/ScoIt Year 3: Welsh/ScoIt - Irish/SA Home and away in your conference = 14 games Home or away in other conference = 8 games QF, SF, F ...

Cooney's try was good. Actually can't believe it was ruled out. Its supposed to have to be clear an obvious and if anything he was a good half yard onside. There's mowing line in the grass that shows exactly the orientation of the camera to pitch and Faddes(?) isn't part of the ruck, so it really is...

f**king idiot. Probably harsh to say he deserves sacking, but I would imagine there's a very strong chance his contract wont be renewed.
