Mind you couple years back Glasgow were monstering embra only to switch off in last 10 which allowed them to gain a 4 try bonus point and a losing bonus point....maybe the tinfoil hat brigade are onto something! Always think it's the fixtures during 6n which really heavily influence the table. Haven't looked but hopefully plenty of home games / Italian sides during that period. Oh and can we PLEASE have nationally neutral refs !! I don't think it is that unbelievable. 6N clash games - Glasgow v Scarlets & Ospreys v Glasgow Ulster v Edinburgh & Edinburgh v Cardiff Nationality neutral refs won't happen, league believes the refs are fair and views it like domestic competition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The league may view it that way but the general standard of refereeing in Pro12 is dire. Owen n hodges aside most refs seem to make their minds up prior to kick off who will be penalised at ruck and scrum. They can't even get the put in to scrum straight. For a high profile league nationally neutral refs should be a given. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddfg Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Some of you may have seen it previously but I recently watched a documentary on in flight entertainment called the Glory Game about Joost Van Der Westhuizen's diagnosis with ASL and the work he has been involved with various doctors to help with their research. Worth a watch on you tube. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth a watch on you tube. I struggle to watch anything with him as he is now - genuinely heartbreaking to see a player I loved as a wee boy just slowly fade away. There was a lovely story after Ireland's first test win though. There was a J9 Foundation event that they had been asked to send a representative to - the entire squad and backroom staff rocked up to support Joost. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afca32 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Pleased to see Edinburgh moving to Myreside. A nice ground where I enjoyed watching my cousin playing for Watsonians a few years back. I just had a look at the fixtures and and the first few games are listed as being at Murrayfield, which, unless I've missed something, is surely a mistake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember the specifics but I'm sure I read at the time they announced the move it's not until Oct time that they are moving and are back Murrayfield for the Glasgow game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure they are only at Myreside for the 2nd half of the season as a trial. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Nobody watching the Challenge Cup semi final on BBC2? Bruising start and Wigan 6-0 up on Hull. Huge Hull support but not so much from Wigan. I cancelled my Sky Sports ages ago so I'm glad to get my RL fix. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
