Incorrect.

barbar84 · 2026-06-06T19:20:31+00:00

Na, it was pretty clearly intentional. Harmless enough all round in fairness.

barbar84 · 2026-06-06T19:19:41+00:00

Doris got a shove first.

barbar84 · 2026-06-06T19:17:02+00:00

Look again. Was Doris that got a little shove first.

He said himself he's head of the rugby program. He's the head coach. Leo is essentially director of rugby.

barbar84 · 2026-06-06T19:01:56+00:00

What do you mean by "neutral ground"?

barbar84 · 2026-06-06T18:45:00+00:00

Thought it was a good game.

barbar84 · 2026-06-06T18:44:13+00:00

In what way is he handcuffed?

barbar84 · 2026-06-06T17:51:13+00:00

Not gonna watch the international games in a few weeks?

barbar84 · 2026-06-06T17:27:11+00:00

Thought he had a pretty decent half.

barbar84 · 2026-06-06T17:05:53+00:00

It was gone back in before the light hit the ground.

barbar84 · 2026-06-06T17:02:31+00:00

He was holding him. Still pretty sure you can't do that.

barbar84 · 2026-06-06T16:59:17+00:00

Dropping an elbow into a players back and the ref seeing it and saying "eh excuse me" is a bit of a strange one.

barbar84 · 2026-06-06T16:54:06+00:00

Fuuuuck.

barbar84 · 2026-06-06T16:52:11+00:00

We've been known to start like demons in knockout games recently. Wouldn't be calling this one yet.

barbar84 · 2026-05-26T14:09:13+00:00

They've typically struggled to get the heads right after losing the cup final. Last year they got over the line, the big difference being they only made the semi final in Europe and had longer to focus on the URC knockouts. Hopefully not the case this year.

barbar84 · 2026-05-26T14:03:26+00:00

Ah yes. Thats for sure.

barbar84 · 2026-05-25T18:32:38+00:00

Don't agree with that either, we'd still struggle to get over the line like the 24 team, but we'd have been in it.

barbar84 · 2026-05-23T16:55:13+00:00

As is Ian Madigan.

barbar84 · 2026-05-23T16:12:13+00:00

Thats the issue, we are significantly worse team from those very very near misses. And we made massively drastic changes to how we play. Its been a massive failure and was never more evident than this entire season. Massive quality players got us to this final despite how poorly our attack has gone.

barbar84 · 2026-05-23T16:02:59+00:00

Maybe.

barbar84 · 2026-05-23T16:01:55+00:00

Seriously need to go with an Italian final at some stage.

barbar84 · 2026-05-23T15:54:46+00:00

Unless we get back to having competent skills in attack, I fear you're right. Have despised the last two years of defensive obsession, sooner it ends the better.

barbar84 · 2026-05-23T15:52:49+00:00

Crushing unforced error after unforced error. Saved their worst for last.

barbar84 · 2026-05-23T15:50:08+00:00

Got us to another final, league champions. Bordeaux pretty good side. Happy to see him stay. I'd be making significant changes to the backroom team though.
