The Rugby Thread (Part 1)

Players of dubious character tend to mess up when their team really needs them.

Often they hide.

Yes. Bordeaux if racing win or st etienne i think if clermont win

Yes , away regardless . European Cups are hard won .

Sid hasn’t a notion of realities of playing sport.

He knows stats and stories.

That’s and bout it.

They had taken a mental breather assuming ball in touch. Conway used players in front if him very well then

Absolutely. Fantastic try.

Made it look somewhat easy too.

Which all great players do.

He is a great bit of stuff.

Now, now, there’s no need to be seething just because I correctly called Ashton’s character.

Leave this conversation to the adults.

“Nigel Owens man of the match. Toulon robbed”

The above is a message I received in a whatsapp group I’m in. The sender is an irish rugby fan.

Was that cunt Owens trying to be the centre of attention again ?

To be honest i know nothing of this Ashton fella, I’m aware he’s a bit controversial,
he was the man who was going to create the breakthrough if it was to be created, he was looking for the ball all the time, scored a good try and was probably a little unlucky at the death, I’d doubt it was a character flaw that caused it anyway

They were robbed blind it was fantastic to see. Made is about 20% more enjoyable tbh after the many bad calls we got in france over the years

Don’t mind @padjo, he’s only ballhopping.

He was very good. Hes a bit of a cock but hes a good player. He has 20 + tries scored for them this season. Player of season Id say

Wigan didn’t want to pay him well when they knew they had Tompkins coming through.

Irish rugby is becoming Georgiaesque with our conveyor belt of prop forwards .

Stade Chaban-Delmas, Bordeaux was where the Munster odyssey all really began in this wonderful competition eighteen years ago.

Correct. Emile Ntamac looked like he smoked a doob before that one.

There was more to it than that, I assure you.
