Detournement Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 10 hours ago, Savage Henry said: I don’t know. The signs of progress are all there, unlike certain other teams I could think of. Watching the Edinburgh backs all standing static everytime VDW/Hickey got the ball didn't look like progress. The combination of the Edinburgh forwards being jaded by being overplayed and Dan McFarland having a good plan to nulify them meant it was all on 9-15 last night and they flopped badly. Mata looks half the player he was before Xmas. Cockerill has ran him into the ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Venom Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 That's great for him but i'm sure PI people are tired of white people telling them what they can think.[emoji23] God bothering numbskulls rightly being called out on absurd beliefs that they are, of course, free to hold; they are at odds, however, with Rugby Australia's quite clear code of conduct on inclusiveness. A code of conduct that Folau has signed up to. If he wasn't happy with those then maybe he should have found a league who better suits his beliefs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 If he has broken the terms set out in the collective bargaining agreement they will sack Folau no problem. The wider issue is that these are standard beliefs in the PI community and the idea that white people pay the wages so the players have to conform to western corporate values or be silent is very problematic. I have seen people suggest that Saracens and the RFU explain to BV why his religious beliefs are wrong, absolutely mental! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Gloucester vs Bath on Channel 5 is a decent match so farBath went 17-0 up in a hurry and it’s been all Gloucester since then but to no avail. Gloucester finally made it 17-7 at halftime long after the clock went red 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 On the serious stuff...... A very good half from Glasgow leading 12-20 playing into the wind. If they can keep the intensity up and withstand the Leinster front row change it is looking good. Only one scrum in the 40 minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are still talking about white people in Australia aren’t we? More seriously it was supposed to be an observation of an ironic paradox in this whole quandary as opposed to an unambiguous moral declaration 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved that try aþ the end from George Horne, just to really get it up them. I was losing the plot at Peter Horne's counter ruck penalty. He made a decent defensive play after that tbf. Hogg made some daft decisions but overall was good. The fact that Leinster played on for no reason at all made that final try so sweet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 By my calculations, 2 points next week will do it. Edinburgh probably need 5. Wonder if we can engineer some kind of carve up here. The Irish would 100% do it to us.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
