    @Billy-Tell Still waiting to hear somebody explain to me coherently why Gus Ta’avao’s was deemed worse than that one.

    Rugby is a game dependent on the referee's interpretation of the laws. That's what makes it a dynamic and interesting game. /s

    The reality is the outcomes are wholly dependent on the vagaries of individuals. So what is a series defining decision is utterly wiped out in another game when players and spectators like could mistakenly expect that defining moments would be adjudged reasonably alike. I mean who in their right mind says an "absorbing tackle" is when it results in a broken cheek bone of the attacker?

    WR is run by drunken retards.

    A couple of arseholes from Just Stop Oil tried to disrupt the English Premiership Final. Hats of to the stewards for tackling the tossers and the crowd for booing. Disappointed that all thirty players didn't bring back Old School Rucking to welcome the protestors to the field of play.

    Not looking good for London Irish. All staff have been summoned to a Zoom meeting and just been told that they're only being paid 50% of their salaries for May. Another famous English club at risk of going to the wall.

    It’s what happens when you let in a bunch of money men to run rings around the amateurs running the game.

    You lay down with dogs, you get up with fleas.

    @Catogrande Really shitty to see what has happened to both Wasps and London Irish. I remember them both as successful and happy West London clubs before the money sharks jumped in.

    Add in Richmond, London Welsh, Rosalyn Park, London Scottish.

    Too many obviously in such a tight geographical area, but Richmond and London Welsh were woefully mis-managed with seemingly no oversight until it was too late.

    Just before the heyday

    A precursor to their best period

    UK Government to step in with help for England Premier Rugby.

    Would be good to see the RFU actually think outside the box, for once take some action and do something for the game - but I'm not holding my breath. Much too easy to pass the buck onto HMG.
