Honest_Man#1 Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Absolute nightmare with the Six Nations tickets sale this morning. Entirely my fault as I’d forgotten to double check my password was correct, so after a wait in the queue I got locked out of my account. Spent half an hour on the phone waiting to get someone to unlock it, but after half an hour could reset password and get in anyway. Got in hut by that time most tickets were gone, so had to buy the gold tickets for England at £110 each. Bank account taken an absolute shafting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Everything is going to shit again in the European cups I see. Saracens and Leinster both having to forfeit games. Probably be a couple of others as well. It makes the competition a bit of a farce. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Thats the problem with the rugby calendar there is no scope for postponements anyway in a normal year as you only normally play 1 game a week. At a push you could do Friday, Wednesday, Sunday, repeat, but even then that would only work with league games as the European dates and 6 Nations are set in stone and cant be moved, potentially as the Quarters arent until April the games could have been re-arranged, with weakened teams if need be on 6 Nations weekends to get them played 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racing v Ospreys game now gone. 28-0 to Racing. More to follow by the sounds of things as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See the champions of the best league in the world are currently struggling a bit with Cardiff's C team.

He got done a bit on the long range try from the Cardiff winger. Always difficult going across the pitch at full tilt when the guy has space to step inside 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big downside from this entertaining and quite funny match is that Wales look like they have another two fucking excellent back three players on the conveyer belt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Saw there were some tickets left for the Glasgow game. £35 to sit in the East stand? Nah, you're OK thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, you're OK thanks Had exactly the same thought yesterday when I saw there were tickets. The prices are ridiculous to be honest, that's more than my ticket to Scotland V Japan in the autumn and only a few quid less than my Australia tickets, and they were decent seats, not stuck in a leaky wooden stand where you quite often have to wade through a puddle to get in. Worst thing is, even if I did fancy paying £35, it's fucking difficult to get anyone to go with you at that price. Most of my rugby mates that I go to games with are really football fans who will happily go along for a day out on the beer, but trying to get folk out on a whim when the tickets are so dear is not easy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I think he's definitely leaving anyway, he's been linked with Leicester as well. He, Thomas and Beale seem to be getting the blame for Racing being shite at the moment. I don't think he was playing today though and they got absolutely pumped again. After the Petershill game was put off I went and met my uncle and his mate who have come up from Exeter for tonight's game.We were talking about the salary cap in England, it's getting cut from £6.5 million per year to £5m, which is going to have a huge impact on who the English clubs will be able to sign. They are allowed one marquee player that doesn’t count towards the cap, but with a squad of 45 or so then a saving of £1.5m will take a bit of doing. It might turn on to a big problem for England if players look to France for a big payday.As well as Skinner almost certainly Edinburgh bound, they reckon Johnny Gray will be leaving too. As much as they like him, he is an expensive asset who has only managed a couple of games this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
