Re: Top Gear or Wheeler Dealers
Thought the best period of Top Gear was before it became the CLarkson/Hammond/May showcase - the Clarkson reviewing the Rover 800 was brilliant. The first couple of C/H/M seasons were not at all bad, but became so-so after that. Also heard that Hammond was the one most up his own arse. Fifth gear wi...

Re: The Farrell Special
They couldn't cite him. He got a red last season for a similar tackle on a young Wasps No. 10, and ended up with a ban, albeit much reduced because of him being a good boy who helps old ladies across the road (or something to do with charity work). If he was to go before the beak for a similar tackl...

Re: Law question : penalty advantage and red card
I saw at least one game earlier in the season where play got called back a long way to check possible grounding for a try. Play continued after for several phases, and I think might have got up to the other end of the pitch before play stopped and they could review. Turned out a try had been scored...
