Dragons don't look as though they're looking to be playing any rugby tonight

Yep - gave it their everything - Exeter just too strong and powerful for them - but will have to up their game against Toulouse next week. Very impressed with Hill.
Had to laugh when I read a comment on the Irish rugby thread about them being mercenaries.Fruit and Nutt wrote: ↑Sat Sep 19, 2020 4:59 pm The Premiership should be very proud of Saracens - half their team missing and they still went to Dublin and beat Leinster.
Money doesn't buy heart.
No bother. They were whinging all through the game. I see one of them has even suggested not playing rugby in their half and playing a boring kick and chase English rugby
Unfortunately not on the scoreboard
Got the impression he was distressed the tackler hadn't received a red card.DragsterDriver wrote: ↑Sat Sep 19, 2020 5:00 pm Shocking from the Leinster coaching staff not taking Sexton off for a HIA. He was clearly distressed on the pitch.

Good luck to him.

It's very hard to see how Sarries would have won had Rhodes been sent off. I've watched it a few times from before Henshaw even pulls Rhodes off his feet. Unless Henshaw is doing something that has not been caught on camera there seems to be no excuse and Rhodes appears to be at best reckless.DragsterDriver wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 7:23 am I don’t think Rhodes being a dirty player is much of a shocker, I’d like to see the clear out on him Kinsella has edited out mind. At least it gives a narrative they’d have won against 15 men if he’d got a red, although I’m not sure.
Sad to hear that. I wish him the best support in his fight against cancer.Fruit and Nutt wrote: ↑Mon Sep 21, 2020 9:21 pm Alex Corbisiero has had testicular cancer which unfortunately has metastasised to the lymph nodes.

All the ball and none of the points.
he really doesn’t look well at all poor fell. A Teammate of mine had leukaemia in his 20s and was back playing rugby in a couple of years, he was nearly see through during chemo...and the tubes in his chest was a real shocker- came good though!EverReady wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 7:00 pm I am not planning to become a fixture in here but was looking for a thread on Corbisiero but saw it was just in here. Unlucky indeed but he should be grand. Survival even with spread to nodes is something like 96%. Chemo still sucks many balls if you'll pardon the pun

They inject the chemo directly into the arteries near the heart so it gets pumped around the body as quickly as possible. You can have a tube running out from under your armpit into a specially designed rucksack that contains a pump and the drugs. That's hardcore chemo.DragsterDriver wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 7:13 pmhe really doesn’t look well at all poor fell.

I know a lady my age (20s) who has to have her whole body blasted with radiation to get stem cell treatment, eventually and hopefully.Fruit and Nutt wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 7:26 pmThey inject the chemo directly into the arteries near the heart so it gets pumped around the body as quickly as possible.
