Re: Bath, UK, any tips?
Pulteney Arms is a fantastic boozer. All rugby fans are very well received there. Honorary mention to the Boater and the Saracen's Head. The Roman Baths are an interesting tour and the missus might like the Jane Austen Centre. thanks ! Pulteney's Arms looks like a proper pub indeed :thumbup: My loc...

Probably because Ugo's on it. I was enjoying it and then my heart sank as I heard his paint drying drone.

He hasn't been doing it long enough for people to have gotten fed up with his blandness.

1st season aside, he was occasionally superb for Wasps against soft competition . Formed a fantastic double act with Cipriani.
He’s also far from universally loved in SA.

Saffers seem to love him but he was a gobby twat and total fanny at Wasps, phoning it in and being Pudsey’s best boy by not getting his kit messy.

Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread
Nope. Saracens only qualified for the Heiny over another English team because they chose to break the rules and spend more than the other English teams. Once in the European Cup having a stronger and bigger squad undoubtedly helped them 'win' it. Put it this way, would they have won it if they'd st...

Generally agree that there's going to be a huge disparity in raw power between modern pros (even early in their career) and props from the amateur era. Clearly though there's still huge value in technique, skill and just being a hard bastard. And plenty of big academy props would get handled by a s...

Interesting to see Rassie very animated, getting messages to the water boys etc., while Borthwick looks like he’s wondering if he prefers Frazzles or Skips.

Looks like Rassie has spent too much time thinking about how to bend the rules and not enough on how to deal with the tactics everyone knew were coming.
Imagine being out thought by Steve Borthwick.

Re: England the only Northern Hemisphere side in the 2023 RWC semi-finals. Da funk!
I don't think they'll be any more or less secure. Let's see what happens in the 6N and beyond. Of course it does. Sweeney will tout this as vindication of his decision to appoint Borthers and award himself a nice big pay rise while he’s at it. You’re stuck with the lot of them I’m afraid. And you'l...
