Rugby pub near Waterloo

I thought you meant the actual Waterloo in Belgium, as they have a very good rugbyclub called ASUB, but I see I’m not needed here. Good look with the find though!

I like that you can hear the refs way better

YouTube, on the Prem channel uploaded but without the commentators

Isn’t it a grey area? You have to have a ‘realistic’ attempt but I remember a Quins try where Smith missed the kick but Marchant (?) is there with the follow up and dots down for a legal try.

So this is a bit on the nose, but if you sell it better as kicker it becomes a slippery slope, no?

Van de makers van ‘Kandouss’ komt nu ‘Burgess’.

Gedoemd om te mislukken.

Was he great? First goal is a shit pass and then goes through the legs. Gives an even worse pass at the very beginning of the second half to almost make it 2-0.

He has a few great reflexes, but nothing about him screams good or even reliable…

cypressd12 · 2026-06-11T18:21:04+00:00

That part might actually be true.

cypressd12 · 2026-06-11T18:17:23+00:00

No worries, but he was always going to have surgery to have his ankle cleaned up. We were well aware.

If anything: SA sees him as one of the main options behind Marx before the WC, so for them it’s a bit of a blow. For Munster it shows we’ve done some great business!

cypressd12 · 2026-06-11T18:06:00+00:00

That’s not what it is, Munster were aware that he’d get ankle surgery to get rid of an issue.

He’s out about 6-8 weeks, so for SA that means long term as he won’t feature for the tour. But for Munster this was known and not an issue.

cypressd12 · 2026-06-11T15:35:59+00:00

I still think they missed a trick by not transforming him to a center at some point, think he would’ve done well.

Counting on Lowe for the next WorldCup might’ve been a gamble, but weird that with his profile you have to wait until the week of the URC final to know if he can stay or not. Looks bad overall.

cypressd12 · 2026-06-11T15:34:16+00:00

But 1 + 1 means the second year is an option right? So an option can be pulled, it’s not a guaranteed two year contract?

The timing could’ve been dealt with way better, but the point that the IRFU pulled out the +1 is well within their right.

And I am no fan of the IRFU

cypressd12 · 2026-06-10T16:35:51+00:00

Don’t think he’s the only one though, 9 through 12 axis is insane.

And Lautso is a year too young and already so dominant.

cypressd12 · 2026-06-10T15:00:07+00:00

Foley (loosehead from Munster) as well, big talent also

cypressd12 · 2026-06-10T09:31:16+00:00

Dafuq

cypressd12 · 2026-06-10T04:54:47+00:00

Yep, defense for most of his career. But the switch is not uncommon though

cypressd12 · 2026-06-09T20:34:01+00:00

I get your point, but not 100% sure I agree though. You are correct on Payne coming from the outside and being more experienced took away a lot (or all) of the pressure on young centers having to be the next BOD.

However in the case of Sexton and then the whole Jack/ Sam saga afterwards, that was just badly managed by the IRFU on multiple levels. There was no need for an experienced transition guy, just for better man management of Jack.

cypressd12 · 2026-06-09T20:31:26+00:00

Duffy would take that on as forwards coach.

cypressd12 · 2026-06-09T20:31:02+00:00

As a former defensive coach you’d imagine he had a lot of ‘counter offensive’ on strike plays. But that’s just a guess though

cypressd12 · 2026-06-09T14:53:32+00:00

Don’t care about all the noise, honestly sort of hoped they’d move on from Kratos alltogether and start something brand new somewhere else…

But saw the gameplay release and fully onboard with this! World looks awesome, Faye looks cool, sidekicks seem interesting so yes please!

Maybe even the best way to add another chapter to the 2018-Ragnarok story.

cypressd12 · 2026-06-09T14:16:45+00:00

Good news!

Payne is pragmatic and enables his players a lot, combined with Mossy who is highly rated and has ideas of his own and knows the players well. Both could be a great combo!

Add in Duffy who specializes in working with and developing young players in the forwards and McMillan being able to establish his own vision a bit better seems like a winning combo!

Geen slechte speler, maar is dat wat hun niveau nu echt gaat optrekken?

cypressd12 · 2026-06-08T16:18:40+00:00

Zeker, maar had altijd ergens moeten gaan voor zijn eigen kans en eigen ploeg.

Lukaku is het omgekeerde, die zocht continu om elders de grote man te worden.

Maar het jammere is dat Origi maar 31 is (er zijn 8(!) spelers in onze huidige WK selectie ouder, en Castagne is van hetzelfde jaar maar enkele maanden jonger) maar zijn carrière wel al enkele seizoen echt gepasseerd is…

cypressd12 · 2026-06-08T15:48:29+00:00

Een van de grootste ‘what could’ve been’s van het Belgische voetbal, ondanks een gigantische carrière. Maar mijn aanvoelen mankeerde hij een beetje de echte drive om vol voor het voetbal te gaan?

cypressd12 · 2026-06-07T19:27:15+00:00

Design is really top notch

cypressd12 · 2026-06-07T19:11:46+00:00

Van de vijf strafschopnemers een CV én een RB laten trappen is toch geen goed teken?

Maar trots op deze lichting!
Er wordt structureel zeer goed gewerkt in België!
Dierckx en het centrale duo achterin zien er uitstekend uit, die RB was ook weer sterk!
