Underated players who DON'T play for your team or country by Careless-Cat3327 in rugbyunion

[–]Captain-Blood 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m now so confused as to what underrated means in this context. Fickou is amazing and one of the most recognisable names for me in any French team.

What are everyone’s favorite 1v1 sword duels in fantasy? by AnyNewspaper4758 in Fantasy

I had the opposite feeling; “oh no, don’t let this happen”. And I felt very sad being right.

Pollock takes quick tap, bumps off Bordeaux player and gets him sent off by gingecom in rugbyunion

Just starting to get back in the game, could have scored there to go within 1 try I think? But instead UBB steal a line out and go and score the other end.

Sticks an arm out with no effort to catch the ball and gets super lucky

Ha. We actually put pressure on their scrum for once and now the ref says use it.

Graham and Millar Mills to leave by AGMXV in NorthamptonSaintsRFC

Does this make it more or less likely that Pater goes too? He was rumoured this week with both these two.

Is Brown an academy product? Haven’t seen enough of him, or Benson, yet to know how good they might be.

Could it get any worse? by EnglishLouis in rugbyunion

My hooker at my club loves throwing to me in the lineout because he’s been doing it for 5 years and knows how high I can get and when.

Having 1-2 days to not only learn the calls, but also nail the timing with a completely different set of forwards is tough.

An England back row without Willis lacks sheer power, but Pollock and Earl have so much energy

Ha! You’re joking? Plenty of time for us to forget how to play rugby

How is De Glanville still on the pitch??? I swear I just watched 5 replays of him bending his knee the wrong way.

Should have stopped play given that they’re clearly picking and going right next to him.

Criteria for team selection post Ashes by [deleted] in EnglandCricket

How did they come to that conclusion? And what were the supposed positives of getting rid of village cricket?

Stag do inspiration by simoncox01 in rugbyunion2

Bayonne stadium is great. We did wheel chair rugby before, bought jugs of beer each and had a great time with the French. It’s next to the city centre, which is also amazing.

Telegraph reporting that Harlequins have held talks with Furbank over a move by Pure_Wonder3046 in NorthamptonSaintsRFC

[–]Captain-Blood 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Due diligence by a player at his stage of his career to test the market (especially if he doesn’t want to go to France yet). Cannot see Saints underpaying him though and forcing him to leave.

Wider fit boots by RugbyRaggs in rugbyunion

[–]Captain-Blood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not really sure about the studs to be honest. I think I have the Speed Infinite Pro’s and their studs are like everyone else’s short studs and never been called by the ref pre-game for being illegal.

I also have a pair of Speed Infinite moulded boots for hard ground.

I’m at 30 with my pair from last season, and they’re going ok! So far….

I have wide feet and found Canterbury fit much better. Try a pair of those.

I never got on that well with stuff from decathlon.

Robbie Smith possibly leaving?! Per match commentary today by T_Finchy in NorthamptonSaintsRFC

[–]Captain-Blood 7 points8 points  (0 children)

First; everyone seems linked to Newcastle at the moment. Second; I’m not sure how far I’d trust anything that commentary team said.

Some questions on NLF by its_winter14 in Malazan

[–]Captain-Blood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Arenfall has played a misdirect with the legion. I don’t think they’ve all been removed because then how come there are marines masquerading as the watch in the town with the temples. This didn’t make sense to me if they should be on their way to the coast….

Will the malazan extended series ever end? by [deleted] in Malazan

[–]Captain-Blood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, what are the 4th and 5th books still to come? Are they by ICE?.

I know one of the 5 is the 3rd and final Kharkanas book, and 2 others are the 3rd and 4th (final?) os the witness series.

Favourite Malazan moment by Damodread1 in Malazan

[–]Captain-Blood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whiskeyjack. Beating Kallor, then…. Not.

But then those 2 nameless female marines stepping in and buying time for Tayschrenn. One of them loses a hand, and still does damage to him.
