SPL's new Sky TV deal dependent on Celtic and Rangers' involvement STV understands the broadcaster has negotiated a termination clause in its contract with the league, should either side no longer be in the division. The most recent deal agreed for TV rights, which will see the SPL receive £80m ove...

Here in the U.S.: 3 Canadian sides play in MLS (the Division I league) a Canadian side and a Puerto Rican side play in NASL (the Division II league) an Antiguan side play in USL Pro (the Division III league) 9 Canadian sides and a Bermudan side play in the PDL (Division IV/top ama...

If that were allowed FIFA/UEFA might go after the Home Nations. England isn't popular in the admin of the game, and the rest of the UK lads get treated as the same as the Anglo-Saxons. When Swansea, Cardiff, Wrexham, Methyr-Tyfdil, etc, joined the English league, no Welsh one existed. Such is not t...

So they will basically have to put strong bids to get rights for comps like the Heineken Cup to remain relevant? Nobody has tried to really have a meaningful subscription sports channel in the UK without Premier League rights. Would the Heineken Cup help subscriptions as much as needed to turn a pr...

Glasgow Rangers as we knew them no longer exist and the SFA have made clear that the history of the club will end with it. The supporters of the newco (with the slightly different name) will attempt to claim it is one and the same thing but it is not...so no you were not right. Sky have also just a...

Coo, it has been widely reported that Ibrox and Murray Park were held by one of Whyte's other companies, so do you know how they are now included in the sale?? That's what I heard - I dont think Green does have them. Murray Park on it's own is worth far more than 5mill - even without planning permi...

This is the current nadir for Fre club rugby as personified by Toulon. Boudjellal is only interested in "success" as defined by silverware: fair enough**. What they've identified is that Fre rugby has become so sterile, lacking in skills, control and ambition that you are better off without the bal...

no Barrage is not the semi which they made for the first time in about 10 years Barrage is the equivalent of playoffs/finals in the English speaking world. As for this match what the fudge happened to the Toulon lineout. In the dire ESPN coverage they said Toulon had very few lineout options (which...

I don't know how Castres keep on making the Finals. Must have good conditioning and coaching staff down there. they had not been in semis for ages Toulouse Lucky to get through as at least castres Threatened their line Pity Bernard missed his kicks too.

what are the odds on one of them getting suspended or a red card?

excellent.

Excellent and good luck with the meeting. I reckon an Irish series would work in the rough estates of Dublin, Belfast or Limerick and get the program rolled out nationwide. What was the story with the Irish lad in the recent series and how did he get involed? Shite news about Pauli. I take it some o...

Odave is there an Irish program being rolled out? They should do a series in Limerick or outer Dublin Brilliant show. Well done odave and everyone involved.

Unlike the other clubs La Rochelle wouldn't get prison shamed and average 12,000 a match.

Brumby_in_Vic

I hope La Rochelle get back in to the Top 14. Got a good support base there. Are Beziers definitely gone or does that depend on Bourgoin's financial situation?

Brumby_in_Vic

surely Bourgoin should be forced to merge if they want to retain their pro status. Too important for French Rugby to lose a club that produces players.

Doesn't Fraser actually leave the club? I was wondering what was UBB's position in regards of the JIFF's regulation? They seem to be signing only foreigners this year again. How do they manage the quotas of JIFFs? Re: Fraser... Yes he does, see my post just above yours. ;) Re: JIFF... I read in Sud...

I am sure Buttin will kick on next season. Needs more playing time at Clermont, i am sure he will go on the Summer Tour. Fall is just returning to action but if his previous is anything to go by he is crystal glass. No guarantees that Medard will recover fully from the injury sustained against Scot...

We have a similar problem in australia with some Sydney clubs hoarding super rugby players and using the ones who dont make the wallabies squad to make a late season charge. There is no real second xv program for the super rugby sides in oz and nz

Top team from 1B gets promoted from what I hear UL Bohs are promoted. 2nd and 3rd playoff. Blackrock are relegated

How many outside of those cities would have a chance of cracking div 1? Is Sexton jr in the Leinster academy?

Good match better than any club match i watched from australia last year. Who is getting promoted the matches be over now?

People who try to open the door to a public toilet cubicle while it is locked or the engaged sign is up. Basic common sense as someone is having a dump. Nothing worse when some clown is trying to open the door.

:lol: Classic PR thread. Speaking of people pissing on toilet seats, I've just been in Greece for a week, and I didn't find a single seat that would stay up. So you have to do the take a piss while holding the seat up with your knee routine. It must have been a roving incompetent German toilet seat...

What happens now with all their expensive signings ? Philips, Heymans, Roko, Tialata ? Pro D2 ?

Chisholm too. His wife just had another kid when he moved over to Bayonne and he was recovering from a broken leg for a while.

I'd just like to add to this discussion that Lille is doing really well in Federal 1 (might be going up, a bit too early to tell) and Strasbourg is progressing nicely (2nd season in Federal 1). That's the way forward for French rugby :) (I've got nothing against Castres, Bayonne and Brive BTW, just...

Great win by Bordeaux. I am pleased for them. I hope they stay up. It should be easy now. They will stay up. Lyon and Bayonne to go down are my tips. Sad for Lyon but hopefully they will be back they haven't disgraced themselves but haven't strung enough wins to stay up. Hopefully they will continu...

Montpellier will be the only team in the area before long...USAP will be gone in 3 years max. Why do you say that? Because it is my opinion. Seriously though, they are terribly mismanaged, their buying strategy is crap, and they can't compete financially with the big boys. Yet they managed to fork ...

as important it is for them to have fun, learning a lot from it (personal and game development) is just as vital. regardless of what adults think about kids playing just for fun and enjoyment, they still care about winning.
