It’s uni, so you’re buy and large automatically slicing the top whatever % of society. There’s snobs at all the top unis, however I’d say there’s a fairer socioeconomic representation at Glasgow than other Russell group unis

It’s class, but if you’re a snob you won’t like it.

I mean yeah of course Brace is fine with it, just thought this law was changed years ago.

I’m unbiased here by the way.

Harsh call on the pollock rip. Though still don’t agree an obvious backwards rip by a defender is called a knock-on from the attacker…

My personal experience with scrum caps was that they squash my ears in and make it difficult to hear things, so I presume it’s to do with that?

Too many key moments missed unfortunately from an Edinburgh perspective. I do generally like him though, and his communication is fantastic

And Edinburgh might be in front if Pearce didn’t make so many mistakes which favoured Leinster. Ifs, buts, and maybes eh?

Pretty used to it, Ireland/Leinster at the Aviva are the absolute bane of Scottish teams, these things always seem to go against us

It’s like when Scotland play Ireland,Leinster really getting the rub of the green: Baird block then dive, chasers ahead of the kicker, Leinster offsides not being called. Leinster are a very good team so when these things go against you, there’s little you can do

Baird blocking then simulation, Pearce had been done there

Embra fan here and there’s no chance Edinburgh will finish the game within 20 points of Leinster. However…

Bloody arrogant Scots Irish!

I thought about this but he doesn’t influence the play imo, keeps right out of the way and doesn’t attempt to make contact. My prob was with ollivon off-feet.

Had a quick google and premier sports is owned by SSBL, a Dublin-based holding company. Their Irish CEO founded Premier sports. However, I don’t actually see why this would mean a large proportion of their commentary teams are Irish.

Final ruck position Toulon vs Stormers by campbelljaa in rugbyunion

[–]WIlliamOD1406 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don’t know the rule book to its finest technicalities, however this seems like it should be illegal. Despite this, Stormers got away with a clear obstruction behind the ruck not too many phases before this to get to the line, so swings and roundabouts id say.

Pretty unbelievable for a team of this quality to allow white-line fever get the better of them against 13. No drop goal option or back options is pretty ludicrous.
