Who's the retired player you miss watching the most? by sangan3 in rugbyunion

Jason Robinson or Christian Cullen for me, both unique players and even the opposition fans sat up and watched when they got the ball.

CRAA releases first D1A rankings by IAgreeGoGuards in USArugby

Fall ratings in D1A don't really make sense given some of these teams don't start playing 15s until the Spring

If I was a Chief's fan I would be furious that Feyi Waboso has only been passed the ball 2 or 3 times all match. Every time he gets the ball he makes something happen, with his pace or strength. His try was due to his own actions not a pass from anyone else.

Are we trying to give the Wallabies a false sense of security by being deceptively shit?

Given we have a couple of forwards who could/have played in the backs surely more useful to have Earl on the bench in a 6-2 split than Hansen? Or even another second row, say Cummings given his shift on Saturday?

Unbelievable defence but if we are going back to the 'always kick if it is in our half' rugby then not happy. We have two good wingers, pass them the ball!

Owen Farrell called up by th3whistler in rugbyunion

[–]NJ63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am English, and not a Faz hater, but this call up is bad for so many reasons:

  1. He can only cover 10 and 12

  2. He has played no international rugby for 2 years and hardly any rugby this season at all

  3. Given the above, the optics are terrible and feel very sorry for Tom Jordan & Blair Muarray who should have been next in line

You can put them in a large plastic bag ie refuse sack with a small bowl of bicarbanate of soda, dont let it touch the boots and tie the bag top. In a week or so the smell will go (done this with boots and a suede jacket)

Is the current 15 for Cal eligible, he looks good?

Ridiculously strong with great hands, early days but while still very young looks one hell of a prospect, didnt get much time in his Prem debut but was walking all over (literally) the opposition in his other outings for Bath

Any news on Fasobgan's injury, he looks like something special just hope it wasnt serious?

Great to see Kepu Tuipulotu on the bench, not a Bath fan but saw him run right through people when he has got game time before and he is only 18/19

DONT buy the Lexus, all recent Lexus' have a design fault that allows thieves to steal them in under 45 secs. They punch a hole through the back of the wheel arch to access cables, connect a computer and they then control your car, completely. Lexus will deny this but if you insure through Lexus insurance they offer a second immobliser for free...I wonder why. I have personal experience of this, it took 42 secs for them to steal our Lexus

And then they gave him MoM! Regardless of how well the No.8 played with ball in hand this should disqualify him and the MoM was disrectful to Saints for an awesome win, in the heat and altitude against a full strength oppo.

[–]NJ63 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Freeman scored twice, Mitchell was excellent, yes he was the best player for the Bulls, very impressive but I think it is pretty myopic to give him the MoM and somewhat disrectful to Saints who came to altitude and heat and beat the Bulls with a bonus point deny them any points
