I am going to be so, so drunk.
Have we fluked upon our hooker here, it’s rare that we have one who’s decent at the line out, knowing Munster the next time we see any of these kids again they’ll be in there late 20s, don’t think I’ve watched a game that the Wycherley prop has played since Clermont
Wycherley has had a bad run of injuries to be fair. Hodnett would've been established in the first team by now were it not for injuries as well.
I'm not sure we'll be waiting too long to see those two, Buckley and Campbell back in the side.
Guys like Okeke, French and O'Connor, as promising as they are, still look very raw and should rightly be left develop for a while longer.
Joe Schmidt is set to replace Grant Fox as an All Blacks selector: https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby...hmidt-to-join-as-selector-replacing-grant-fox
So JVG is gone 
, hopefully we can finally get a coach who isn't afraid of everything.
I don't think rowntree will move up to take them big job he seems content in being a coach, the dream would be ROG, maybe prendergast with what he's doing at racing and then you have Felix Jones who looks like he is ambitious and eventually wants a to job.

I don't like that, the world doesn't need the All Blacks to get a different perspective and regain structure and organisation. It's fun when they play like subpar Australia or France.
When's a try a try and when's it not, answer when the refs say so, for me that was less of a try than the one that wasn't given in the first half
The feck was that, castre clearly don’t give a feck about the competition
Your boys winning at Welford Road @unchanged_lineup
Ran out of steam unfortunately. What could have been.
Building a great squad though, and that was with Mack Hansen missing today.
Yeah. Leicester’s bench was just too strong. Connacht looked good though, the backline’s really dangerous
The plucky team that everyone likes to watch
Andy Friend does a hell of a lot with limited resources. Really great at player development and motivation.
Yeah. I chuckled when the commentator said your ground is the hardest to kick at in Europe….because it’s got no standsThe plucky team that everyone likes to watch

The Clan Terrace protests!
A lot of bad blood behind the scenes at Munster, such a bad situation.
And mind, this is at at time when JVG has a certain foreign import called Damian de Allende
For the second week in a row with Munster, a ref was about to give a yellow for a clear shoulder to the head until the TMO talked him out of that madness.
This match is what I’d affectionally call, a shitfest
Conditions are brutal but Munster are just so bad to watch these days.
The sooner that cnut is gone the better, I have been wanting him gone for at least 3 seasons now
I don’t watch much URC, but when I do, it’s always that fecker Davison and it’s always a shocking match
it’s like the competition wants me to hate itIt was awful, but this was the best 30 seconds of rugby we've ever played under Van Graan:
Inject that Coombes offload into my veins.
Inject that Coombes offload into my veins.
And an accomplice. Grim.
What the feck happened in the Leinster match?
89-7. Sounds like a cricket score!
89-7. Sounds like a cricket score!
Absolutely insane score. I was out so wasn't watching but it's seems like it was a bit of a weakened team allied who put in a pathetic performance.
Just reading the match report now. They only had 2 players in the team who started in their last Top 14 game.
Leinster scored 13 tries.
Oh only 2? Yeah 13 tries is mad. They broke their own 18 year old record for the largest victory.
It was a very weakened team due to covid and injuries.
Thanks. It makes more sense now.
My god I'm still angry for Castres this morning.
That last 10 minutes was the worst passage of refereeing I can remember watching in any professional sport.
Adamson was simply not going to allow that game to end until he had the result he wanted.
No slight on Quins - fair play to them for sticking in games right to the end every week, but that was an absolute farce! There must have been 10-12 bullshit decisions during that last 10.

I really dislike that ref. I feel he's given some awful decisions against Connacht in recent seasons too.
I genuinely can't understand how he's been given 2 6N games. The guy is either incapable or corrupt.
Just on the Quins match last night, I only saw the match winning 'try'. I was under the impression the ball had to be grounded on the line. Seems that's not the case now.
I should also mention that Matt Adamson made his way into Dave Rennie's bad books after Wales beat Australia last year. Rennie didn't do a Rassie but he did publicly criticise Adamson.

Getting worried about this Welsh game on Saturday. The world and his mother is writing off Wales, which is generally when they rock up and fluke another Grand Slam.
Farrell has named a pack that is too powerful and strong for their green looking Welsh counterparts, and a backline of players who have all been in scintillating form all season. Wales are missing around 4000 caps worth of experience and their regions haven't been able to bate eggs all year.
So it's pretty much guaranteed that Aki will be sent off 10 minutes in and Wales will kick a penalty in the dying seconds to win by 2.

England will face a tough match up at Murrayfield especially as the weather will be shit. Not much handling rugby I suspect, even more kicking than usual. It will be close and could go either way.
I think you’ll steamroller them…..which probably means you’ll lose narrowly
Agree that Wales could get steamrollered. Serious lack of ball carriers in the forwards and in the backs Josh Adams is being tried at centre for the first time alongside Nick Tomkins who can’t tackle.
Scotland have done pretty well in Calcutta Cup games against England under Gregor Townsend and I think that will continue this weekend. The match at Murrayfield will be Brian Moore's last game with the BBC. Used to love listening to him getting riled up and angry by what was unfolding in front of him.
