That's not the incident that was discussed in commentary. It was the one where they were looking at Furlong possibly leading with an elbow - something happened immediately after that which never got replayed.

Have we just witnessed the worst ever Leinster performance in European knockout rugby? Absolutely gutless stuff. Pea-hearted performances to a man. Comprehensively out-gunned in every department. It was sad watching their scrum get walked around the park like a colts team. You could hear how much i...

Some fairly athletic leaps of assumption there Booji... none of us know exactly what went on or why guys made the decisions they did up there. As expedition leader, the responsibility falls onto Rob Hall and sadly, he made poor decisions that cost him and others their lives. Krakueur admitted later...

There's nothing definitive about why Hall and Hansen carried on past the turn around time. The idea that there was a reluctance to turn Hansen around so close to the summit for the second year running is something proposed after the fact as one possible explanation for why he didn't turn him around...

Thanks. That was an excellent video account of the tragedy. Interesting that John Krakauer never features in any of these documentaries. He gets all the acclaim for his book Into Thin Air but you never see him interviewed in these productions which is pretty telling considering he was part of Rob H...

Isn't there a young Bachop playing that's a son of Graham or Steven?

The only time I listen to him is if they have an interview with someone interesting.

There isn't more than 6 schools in the elite bracket in Leinster tbf. I am talking in Scotland. I know but your point is that Leinster is beyond the beyond Edinburgh has all the tools to become a strong European club. Big population Middle class Rugby Schools I don't know what you mean by 'beyond t...

I agree whole heartedly that a lack of speed absolutely kills. I think that if Luke had been at the bottom of a previous ruck and Furlong threw a pass like that I'd be patting him on the back. But its from a well set maul that has gained a few meters and he's the f**king SH - it's a 8-9 yard pass an...

FFS Kermit, do you ever proof read your posts or does that actually make sense in your head?

PornDog

Speed of pass is much more important than extreme accuracy. Getting the pass out there around where the player is, will, more times than not, end up with lots of ground made as opposed to setting yourself, looking at the ball on the ground, looking at your receiver, looking at the ball on the groun...

https://twitter.com/ek_rugby/status/1380932520527691781?s=19 That is such a nice pass from Byrne, forces Keenan to take it at full pace. Thought he might have crabbed a bit too much but everything is happening at such speed there's still an opportunity to score out wide, worse passing and no try. A...

Took a piss on the curtains.

Didn't seem to matter that I didn't have any recollection of the act.

CJ got red carded for pretty much the exact same thing, just he hit Lambie with his hip instead of with his head.

There was no clear and obvious knock on for the last try, and all the wishing in the world won't make it so. There was a number of generously let off forward passes in the game though (which did favour Toulouse more than Munster) as well as other lenient decisions (most notably Murray and Earls who ...

So according to Ugo Monye, Gloucester have used 55 players this year!

You'd almost come to the conclusion that Kermit knows fudge all!

You're the sort of person who, if you were a Munster fan, would have wanted Dowling to play ahead of Trimble and Bowe. Aren't you? I know you have a bit of a bee in your bonnet about Dowling, and to be fair I'd agree wholeheartedly with your main criticism of him (he was really f**king slow). But t...

He's certainly struggling to pull a coherent sentence together, so yeah, I'd imagine it is.

Very Strong Leinster performance & win. Its been pointed out in several articles the number of players they will use vs other Provinces & teams. 57 this year. Is there no cap on on this as it seems wrong. Premiership clubs have noted this & especially come Euro & Intl the miles on the clock etc. Wr...

Etzebeth is a weird one. The man has literally never had a good game against Ireland, yet he is (probably rightly) considered one of the best and toughest locks out there. Just an odd run of poor games I guess. Plus mentioning him gives me the chance to post one of my favourite rugby gifs again :P h...

So is this thing actually likely to go ahead? What the hell are we going to do for the next 2-3 months if it doesn't?

"let's do more to stop head contact". Unless it's a player on the ground, elbow away lads, elbow away. Terrible message to send out. You're right of course, but tbf seeing as it wasn't an actual strike to the head but rather forceful shoving with the forearm, I do think there's enough mitigation th...

This must be one of those "even a stopped clock....." situations, because I'm 100% in agreement with Anon!!!!

PornDog

You can do some quick calculations to get some estimates of what typical situations might involve. The fastest rugby pass measured (Guinness book of records) is listed at 48mph. That is from a static start, in a speed cage. Joe Simpson, the former Wasps scrumhalf btw. That is 21 m/s. Obviously play...

How fast do people think player are running? The vast majority of the time people bring up thee arguments the passing player doesn't have much forward momentum. I suspect you'd want to be pissing it flat out, and have to make a long pass, for there to be any noticeable forward momentum of the ball d...

Whether Ruddock chose or not to commit made no difference as McCloskey was barrelling into him anyway. That said, that was what used to be called a move. He really wasn't though. McCloskey was running past his left shoulder and Ruddock bought it hook line and sinker. Just put it this way, if Ruddoc...
