Just caught some Super Rugby Highlights. Patchell is looking rather handy for the Highlanders. Didn’t see the whole game but the highlight reel included a try, another zipping pass to set up a try, a pass out the back door in a tackle to create a try and a lovely kick through for a try. Obviously i...

Dyer is going well, and Adams seems undroppable despite playing like dogshit.

Can he play 15?

Does it involve catching and then subsequently holding onto a ball if an opponent isn’t within 20m? If so, nah, he can’t

Theflier

How until Cuthbert is called up?

Theflier

You would be if you owed the other 3 regions £10m

After Cardiff lost 13 first choice players last year due to them, and now have 12 players in the Welsh squad not inc. botham, the WRU have seen it not necessary to release a single player for the game vs leinster this weekend to help Cardiff capitalise on the 4 sellouts in a row they’ve had. It’s a...

Given the player comments regarding coaching and a ‘professional’ environment, maybe the players don’t want to go back and be exposed to shit coaching, shit environments and shit results? If I were to play devil’s advocate. No doubt, the heady heights of 1 win in 8 6N games and a man you've never m...

It is odd indeed to be looking at a Welsh side -at any level - where their nine is one of their weak links. It just doesn't compute for someone of my vintage. Fairn summation of the game/tactics, but as has been said, we were shorn of what little pace we do possess in our backline, which played int...

Dee deserves more than a 5. Flawless in the lineout, tackle stats were ok (11), carried 11 times for 20 metres - with a lot of those in our best period of the match. He did get turned over after that 20 phase stretch on 60 minutes or so but I'd argue that was as much about his support as the carry....

No he’s referring to Hennessy or Bradley, we have 4 6’4 12s between the age of 20-24, Llewelyn, James, Bradley and henessey

Up there with Lou Reed's effort against Australia a decade ago

Missed tackle? That was daf, although he’d done a fair amount prior

The only world class 10 we’ve had in the last decade is anscombe he’s perennially f**ked and patch is probably the 2nd best Calling Anscombe world class is a stretch but he's good enough. We have twice the win percentage with anscombe at 10 than biggar against tier one teams. He ended our loss stre...

And yet he's still not good enough for test rugby.

All that does is illustrate how poor our options are.

by what metric?

Theflier

Patch is 10 times the player costellow is

Elias is such a pile of gash

The assistant had to effectively discipline him on the field for the correct decision, yikes

When a capatains aasking you to ref both teams surely you must know you’re cheating

Jesus and another

Jesus, Ireland had shoved 2m and he called us for not putting the ball in

Theflier

It’s a home game for Ireland and the ref has killed it so much that the stadium is silent

Jesus f**king Christ

What a shit ref all round

Line out didn’t go 5

That’s jokeshop level

The bleating about the ‘perfect system’ when in reality if all were fit 1/3rd of the team are from the SH. Great team for sure, but let’s not lie.

In an effort to divert thoughts from the impending doom, I just watched Patchell put in a cracking performance on his Super Rugby debut. Yes, it was against one of the traditionally weaker teams, but it was choc full of Patchell highlights, those being ropey defence, and sumptuous passing. :thumbup...

Speak for yourself Henry but I don’t share what you’ve posted. The reasons why I and many would prefer an angl Welsh league are threefold. Firstly we do not want to be in a league where one entity controls all the governance and four of the clubs as extension, it’s very purpose is to corrupt the out...

League was already done so it’s not bad and the young guys were very good, but by f*ck we need out of this league. I for one cannot wait to join our English brethren

Theflier

Cardiff down to 13 for the same tackle VDM did last week now

Theflier

Apologies my keyboards knackered, the mitigating factors which prevented reds in the 6N have rather unsurprisingly been thrown out the moment an Irish team looked in trouble, still winning, but a pen count of 6-1 doesn’t bode well from the dunlin selected reffing team

Theflier

Variable threshold referring strikes once again, Red after 14 after a drop of plan out two feet. And they wonder why we want out of the league they run. Shameful as ever

Those props were all really poor players,Matthias and O'Connor esp. James looks good, I'm unsure what the turks academy ethos is, but big fast guys are more reliable than these wirey light footed but ultimately slow backs theyve produce foe the last 5 years.
