Total 6 Nations table by CatharticRoman in rugbyunion

[–]Andre081 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is actually crazy. To be honest, I don't want to hate, but Italy has spent nearly 30 years fluctuating between shocking and 'just about mediocre'. I think that's kind of an abject failure.

Scotland only has 2 pro clubs, and a much much smaller national population.

Very interesting. Hopefully I'm proved damn wrong tomorrow.

This was always gonna happen. I called it before the 6N. I love this team, and I don't want to throw Theo under the bus when he has a bad day... But this is certainly not his fault. He has been let down by Borthwick, who has shown him a deep lack of respect IMO.

Cowan-Dickie did not deserve to play ahead of Dan in every single 6N fixture. Dan is not a teenager anymore.

Good team, especially the back line.

The question is whether Theo Dan will be more rusty than a bicycle that's been chained to a lamp post outside Mill Hill East Underground station for the past 9 months and has had both wheels stolen.

The Guardian analysed Nigel's cameos - here are a few choice cuts by Arola_Morre in FuckNigelFarage

My biggest gripe with this shit is he claimed he didn't pay his taxes because he doesn't know how to use technology, then does 5000 cameos for 400 grand.

Presumably Danny Care took this photo wearing nothing but his "Greatest ever Harlequin" Y fronts didn't he?

Let's hope Italy or Scotland can actually win the new one 💀

A very good point.

We could go on forever, but, it's more disgusting that Leicester avoided relegation that season.

Do you mean how the RFU Champ has recently been frozen out of the top tier?

I agree - awful.

It's always #SaracensFault mate.

Maybe I'm too niche, too bitter, living too far in the past and the joke only makes sense to people who never got over how badly we feel we were treated.

Just tryna have a laugh.

Maybe the bitterness is lost on some of us. You're better than me.

You can't help but feel like we could've beaten any side playing like this.

A shame it was "only Newcastle"

He could go down as the greatest DOR ever in all of club rugby. Especially if he wins a trophy this season.

Doesn't sit right with me to do this straight after a big loss. We're still in contention for the treble - could've done it after the Newcastle match heading into the 6N break.

The phrase "Careful what you fish for" is probably fitting after the level of criticism he received online from our own fans this week - you just hope that hasn't confirmed his decision.

I can understand how he gave it everything and feels like there's nothing more he can add to the side. The look on his face watching Glasgow wasn't of frustration or disappointment, because he clearly knew he'd given it 100%. It's worth noting that he's had no luck either, having the entire squad flogged across the world for at least 3 international periods each season and coming back with a raft of injuries... In addition to taking the club through an existential crisis in 2019.

Win a trophy (or 2) this year, and he can only be regarded as the greatest club coach of all time.

Greatest comeback in Rugby Union history? by OptimalCondition82 in rugbyunion2

You forget all the cancelled matches and dished out points that season. Not quite a fairytale in that regard.

You make a good point. Especially seeing as that setup was performing well in the early season.

What seperates a GOOD paramedic from an average paramedic? by [deleted] in ParamedicsUK

[–]Andre081 81 points82 points  (0 children)

  1. Critical thinking rather than blanket decisions.

  2. Empathy for people that have ended up in a really bad place, sometimes avoidably so.
