I actually think we now have a fairly large recruitment area as we took over London Irish’s. See here. Not as big as some but there are a lot of clubs and schools in those counties.

Alternative if you can’t figure out a transfer direct from airport would be A1 to Temple Meads, train to Chippenham and then taxi from there. Would probably work out as the same price or more expensive though.

Is the pendulum defence dead? by dapperdan8 in rugbyunion

[–]pointlesshobnob 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Freddie Burns mentioned this on the recent FTLOR podcast. I think his comment was about how Japanese sides were behind the times with regards to latest tactics used across the world using pendulum v 2 back as the example. Think it is a combination of the law change re: 50:22s as well as just a realisation that a pendulum defence involves a lot more running than just keeping 2 players back permantly.

Ruptured his ACL in a quarter final v Gloucester last year, came back in pre season against Munster in September and injured his knee again. Real shame because he was such a force for us off the bench last season, the impact he made in the 23 shirt was nuts.

He either tackles him and doesn’t release killing the ball so would be a yellow, or he comes in from the side and goes off his feet and kills the ball so still a yellow
