GAD Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 The French rugby authorities reaction has been pretty shite. Kind of "f**k you here's when we want to play the game". If the SRU had reacted that way there whining would be deafening, especially as it seems the outbreak is absolutely the fault of not only the coach, but the players as well. I'm not really sure, in the grand scheme of avoiding Covid and maintaining your bubble, that going out team handed for waffles in Rome is really any better than the Saracens players going out for pints in London. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is when the ref blew time on: Looking at that still it is not just the fact that England are not set both sides have water carriers on the pitch so the match definitely shouldn't restart till they leave the pitch. Also the ref has admitted he got the 1st 2 Welsh tries both wrong 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He obviously didn't watch the WC QF between Scotland and Australia in 2015. Craig Joubert was so embarrassed by awarding that last minute penalty to Aus that he fucked off down the tunnel before anyone had a chance to shake his hand or knock f**k out of him. Was Joubert the ref at Murrayfield in the 6 nations when Wales refused to take the hit at the scrum and Scotland were continuately penalised for pushing early? It was an absolute joke, everyone, apart from Joubert, could see what the f**k was going on. I honestly thought he might have been Irish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had Pascal Gaüzère in 2019, Lacey in 2017, Glen Jackson(now a coach with Fiji) in 2015, Craig Joubert(set a record for number of penalties were attempted in a match) in 2013, Clancy in 2011 and Rolland in 2009. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajwffc Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I have seen reports that we have told the Six Nations to f**k off with the first date offerd to play the France game ( 9th March) due to it not being 14 days since the last French covid tests. We will probably tell them to f**k off again with the 2nd date (26th March) unless we get our non Scotland bassesd players released(France have have there full team to pick from but the Top 14 woukd like the game played earlier that week) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10menwent2mow Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I genuinely found myself wanting England to win against Wales on Saturday. Awful officiating, coupled with the fact that Wales have just been outright jammy this far in the tournament and the fact that Gatland will see any Welsh success in the 6 nations this season as a justification for picking a majority Welsh Lions squad saw me wanting them pumped. Wales have been utterly dreadful for about two years but you just know that the Lions will end up dull of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wales have been utterly dreadful for about two years but you just know that the Lions will end up dull of them. Quality typo. With the dust settled after the weekend you've got to say, Wales have proven they have the players for the crunch moments. 24-all, 15 minutes to go, England have the momentum; now what? Wales just got their sh*t done. When the pressure is on they don't wobble, they do their business, even when they've got injuries and made substitutions. There are very few Scottish players about whom you could say that with confidence. Our squad have never been competitive after the second matchday of a Six Nations and they're unproven at international level when the pressure is really on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajwffc Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Facebook and Twitter are great fun the now as people are only just realising that world rugby have dropped the word Women form one of the 2 world cups in 2019. Due the the one due to be held this year (the womens one) probably being delayed a year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats 5 out of 6 signings (3 each from both teams) that are all Scottish Qualified, the Ozzie back row the exception, and all with decent pedigree, all pretty young with plenty to prove. Granted there are some big name leaving but good to see some quality signings coming in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Nigel Owens says neither of the controversial Wales tries should have been awarded, so that's good enough for me. I saw the first one the same way and I was obviously wrong about the second one. In case it doesn't start in the right place, you want 3:44. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I might actually watch the Glasgow game now they are playing the young players. Huw Jones getting a run at 13 just as he is leaving sums a lot of the last couple of seasons up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
