36-8 to Ireland. Ireland not even playing well. Don't fancy that side to beat England 43-8 in the end. Great second half effort in messy conditions. 24 wins in the last 26 games now for Ireland in the Under 20 6 nations. Still have a feeling that England's power up front will end up derailing the t...

For females?

I presume because they have the demographic data, either from numbers through the turnstiles or other sources. And they would want to put a number on it before undertaking this kind of review when looking at the provision

I mean, the way that's worded is Telegraph/Daily Mail catnip, but improving female friendly facilities seems a no brainer. I've taken a baby to several games when LI were in the Championship . Whilst I wouldn't personally take one to Twickenham, It's not unreasonable to expect a big national stadium...

Do any of you know if the rugby rebels forum is gone for good? I'm guessing yes, given it's been a week.

You got the right url?

Still there for me

Well, swimming against the tide a little I think Masters of the Air has been very good. With the episode this week the best so far.

My favourite part was at the end when there were dozens of NVA neatly arranged around the crater. All sleeping peacefully in one piece.

Platoon was a nice fable, but a little silly here and there.

Margin_Walker

I'm obviously missing something ?? Ha. He plays a bit of both. Broke through and done very well at TH for Sale this season. However he played LH for the U20s last season and this year. There was an interview with Sanderson a few months ago implying a disagreement with England about where is best po...

Asher Fordjour is another promising LH

Billy Sela looked pretty handy at TH for the U20s but he's years away from any possibility of making the grade.

There must be some around !

That's going to trigger a lot of people...

And for what it's worth, pretty sure Corbs made his LI debut at 20 and was almost 23 by the time he played a test.

Of course there are welfare considerations, but that's older than plenty of props these days reach those milestones.

He just had shit knees.

Margin_Walker

Fine not picking him, but Fin Baxter is 22, not a teenager. Any pro prop in the league has been very serious about weights long before hitting that age.

Margin_Walker

Amend the law to what though, when the player takes a clear step forward? Cue sideways Tony Brown shuffle. Shout the safety word? Hand gesture? If he's stood over the ball, lines up boot, walks backwards several paces, looks up at posts, takes steps out to the side, pauses there for 4-5 seconds and...

That's the line Biggar and Wilkinson both took and it's understandable. Would need to see it again all the way through. Felt like he was in his original side on starting position for quite a while before making that move. Welsh lads didn't charge for shits and giggles, they genuinely weren't sure a...

Moves in any direction to begin their approach to kick is open to huge interpretation.

I'd argue he absolutely wasn't beginning his kick. He was setting up.

If that's a knock on, it's offside

Make it stop.

There are women and children witnessing this.

Jesus, that blitz

Zzzzzzz

The spirit of the law here is that you should not prevent the tackled player from placing the ball. That's what the ref is looking for in the "release". Nah, that's two separate parts of the same law. You need to release and then let them play the ball. Tacklers must: I mmediately release the ball ...

Margin_Walker

Aldritt didn't support his weight there. But for once, we'll accept a ref mistake going our way. No release either. Pretty much everything wrong with that one. You win some, you lose some though. The no release but is stretching it. He keeps a hand on the tackled player but he is no longer holding ...

Have we got many Bristol fans on the board? Anyone attending the game vs the Crusaders? I'd be interested to hear a breakdown of the team named, it's very much a B/C side for the Crusaders - similar for you guys? Also I see the game is being streamed on Bears TV - any of you used this before? Is it...

How about Guy Pepper, is he looking the business for Newcastle?

By all accounts, but I don't think I've actually watched Newcastle this season.

He's certainly getting plenty of practice playing without the ball in that back row

Margin_Walker

He’s tall enough at 6’2, and he’s already 100kg. Peak Warbs was about 105kg. He’ll be able to add some tin to that frame. Size won’t be an issue for 7 For sure. He'll be fine on that front. He's just not as big now as some of the teenagers that end up getting capped. Will be interesting to see how ...

He mentioned it in conversation, rather than asked the player to convert. And was 'outvoted by about 99 to one' I wouldn't do anything with Pollock. He looks an ideal all court linking 7. Would be a complete waste playing him in the backline. Was thinking what to compare him to if people ask me who...

How accurate are home DNA tests?

5 Junior Kpoku (Racing 92) I saw the point made in one of the papers - how come the RFU allow Kpoku to be selected when he's playing in France? Guessing the PGA doesn't cover pathway rugby, so free to select him. Probably worth keeping him involved in case he does come back at some point. He's dece...

Nice to see Makepeace-Cubitt still involved in the pathway.

Ex LI, who didn't pick up a contract with another prem club after their collapse and currently turning out in ND1. Playmaking utility back (mainly FB). Always looked handy

I know you don't want too much moaning at refs, but Italy have to be sharper there.

Captain has to be straight in the ref's ear saying it was held to prompt them to have a look at it.
