All I ask from this year is that the Worcester Worriers to be relegated in the most hilarious manner possible

Watched gloucester today on sky was very enjoyable, they have a nice little half back who looked very very good.

As i said before i wanted Vainikolo to play well and thankfully he did. He's eligible to play for England too woo.

Dunno if any of you follow league either but i was watching Wales lose to Lebanon, Wales have players who are some of the biggest in the superleague (briers, harris) and they lost to a team i never knew existed haha.

Feck sake, we lost to Lebanon? How *****.

Oh, and Warren Gatland. Not sure if I'm happy or annoyed about this, but he can't really do any worse than Jenkins.

Aye was 50-24 or something like that, gave me a good chuckle, but made me a bit sad cause wales is full of Bulls players

Geeze. I actually remember when we had a good team. Back in the days of Gibbs, Bateman, Quinnell, Jiffy, Ellis...ah, such a good side.

Lebanon just another Australian B team tbh.

They could probably put out a Croatia side that would wipe the floor with everyone bar GB/Aus/NZ(and you could debate NZ at the minute).

Leinster v Leicester making me want to cry. ****ing appalling game, mainly down to the referee. Leinster killing the ball anytime it gets near their 22. The only rules the referee is interested in applying are not releasing (even where there are a bunch of tacklers laying on the ball) and feeding the scrum (bizarely). Seems to think his main role is coaching the front rows in how to scrummage correctly (apparantly you can get to be an international prop without being expected to already know this). He may bring a blackboard out on the pitch soon. Leicester have been comprehensively out-cheated actually, which they won't be happy about.

Basically, if a meteorite wipes out both teams and the officials, the competition will be a lot the better for it....

Leinster :cool: (last time I say them at Donnybrook was when they played Cardiff in the Magners last season)

off out for beer with a Leicester fan tonight - loverly

Wasps - Munster was a cracking game, Munster a little unlucky, couple of penalty decisions in the last 10 minutes could easily have gone the other way and given O'Gara the chance to win it.

Leinster were impressive, anyone from Leicester who is accusing Leinster of cheating is having a laugh, both teams were at it, thought the ref dealt with the scrum quite well tbh, none of the penalties he gave in that area could really be disputed.

Another thing that bugs me is how the Munster pack seemed close to its best, and the Leinster backs showed some top form, yet 6 weeks ago they played like sh1te for Ireland, some serious problems in the Ireland setup, morale is low and there are numerous stories coming out of players falling out, and the Leinster contingent (BOD,SH in particular) acting very childishly, the golden boy status of O'Driscoll is quickly dissolving, especially with how he is rumored to have treated Trimble and Stringer.


Oh, and Ulster...dreadful, McCall has to go, Gloucester for the first 30 were stunning, Lamb ran the show and their backs looked good, but the carrying and defence of the pack was absolutely unreal, Ravenhill hasn't seen defence like that for a number of years.

Was just me so far as I can see, and I ****ing hate Leicester...

Though you saying 'both teams were at it' kinda contradicts yourself and validates my point. Leinster did it better, as I said, and continuously killed everything in their 22. Referee did nothing about it, and ruined the match as a spectacle.

Changalang is a mediocre ref, at best, but at least he had some kind of grip on the tackle area in the Munster/Wasps match, which was much better as a result.

he ref dealt with the scrum quite well tbh, none of the penalties he gave in that area could really be disputed.

How did he deal with it? All of the things that were happening at the start of the match continued to happen all the way through and were still happening at the end. It's not his job to coach the players.
