Weird.
I think hooker is 2nd most important position after first-five.Got to get your own lineout ball.
4 and 5 at the top of the list...
I suppose the theory is that if the target is good enough they can get anyone to throw it?
I reckon it's supply and demand. Quality locks are hard to find.
7 is low there because there are fuckloads of them. I'm surprised wingers are high. -

Wingers - glory boy attention seekers fooling wealthy club owners who know little about rugby?

He says, after watching the fern have a meltdown all year whenever Bridge and Barrett were thrown on the wing. Was there a more talked about position? I don't think blindside even came close.
-
@Bones We'll bitch about every position, even the bench. You know that.
Throw in some irrational provincial allegiances and you have the fern having a "discussion".However yes, probably was the most talked about position and strangely enough because most agreed that neither should have been there. That would have them well down pay per position list in most peoples eyes I think, but it is unlikely that many here own rugby clubs.

Josaia Raisuqe lifting the ref like he's Simba is hilarious, despite it resulting in a red card.
"Thou shalt not touch the ref!!" Even if it happens at the final whistle.
Even the official Pro D2 account has added the song from the Lion King (in French):
Apparently, the coach from Nevers wasn't so happy with Raisuqe's impersonation of Rafiki.
-
@Stargazer think a YC and reprimand would have been sufficient, assume a RC there is a visit to judiciary as well?
-
@taniwharugby Yep, not sure what sanction may be imposed. The rule that you can't touch the ref isn't written for a situation like this (celebration of the team's win). Any ban seems over the top.

@taniwharugby so good too see those cheats not prosper. Sadly just a friendly

@Stargazer morons, out of touch as always
-
he's off the ground, i seem to remember that being a penalty?
-
@mariner4life I approve of it not being called. Don't jump for passes if you don't want to be exposed.

@Stargazer Well, you might get driven back.

@Tim The tackler should just get his timing right.
that's ridiculous
