I'm going back to my childhood and the Thanet coast in Kent Booked a very nice looking house in Whitstable in June and will visit the old places I remember from 60 years ago which I should imagine are startlingly different now Have booked a number of excellent looking restaurants including one I ha...

Off to Edinburgh in a couple of weeks for a few days including seeing The Boss at Murrayfield followed by a week on the Caledonian Canal. Fingers crossed for some sunshine.

He was in the centres with Bill Osborne for the first international I ever saw - Twickenham 1978. Top quality player

RIP

Loved him as a player and indeed he is better than Monye and Healey I also played 8 though being an elderly fart my favourite 8 was Andy Ripley...........in full stride :thumbup: Wasn't Ripley a 6? May well have played there for Rosslyn Park but all his caps for England were at 8. Uttley was 6 usua...

Sir Alex is the biggest exception to the rule of the lifespan of coaches tbf. Wenger revolutionised Arsenal, oversaw the Invinsible's season etc., but he left the club about 5 or 6 years too late, having never truely replaced the cornerstones of his successful teams like Viera. Exeter looked like a...

Hepher and Hunter are in the hot seats.

Lads, can't find the other cycling thread but need advice. Got knocked off my bike by some old tosser in a car a few weeks back. Landed ontop of another car to break my fall so not injured apart from a badly bruised hand, which has healed. I was a bit shooken up on the ground and a lot of bystander...

I'm not sure anyone is arguing money was the cause, but lack of money now means the fix isn't to import so we're going to need to develop more 12s. No idea why 12 seems so patchy, I think it's mostly just luck of the draw but there may have been youth or academy 12s who opted to move to 10 or 13 or...

Forgot about the U20's!!! My eyes were bleeding by the end the match was so error strewn. Francis missed yet another kick at goal to win it for Bath What the hell Russell will make of this when he joins next season, I have no idea? The match wasn’t any better in the flesh. Did Francis ever goal kic...

Pretty poor fare from Bath v Bristol Bath need a forwards line out and attack coach Bristol need a discipline coach Bath leading 10 7 despite Francis missing 3 kicks Caught the last 15, definitely seems like picking the U20s was the better choice. Forgot about the U20's!!! My eyes were bleeding by ...

Majorca cycling in April
The Boss at Murrayfield and Caledonian Canal in May/June

U20s EPS announced today. Looks pretty strong on paper, with one point of interest the appearance of Hathaway, who was involved for Wales U20s last year. From a LI point of view, it's interesting to see Fasogbon (prop) involved. Only turned 18 at the end of August, but is a massive human and was pr...

Takes me back to the days of my youth as a student at Cov Poly when the Specials played the Student Union at the tail end of 1980 - an age ago!

Barbeary has signed for Bath, still a few weeks from full fitness Umaga has signed a 2 year contract at Benetton Will make an interesting back row with Hill and Underhill. Wonder what the arrival of Barbeary and Hill will mean for the likes of Miles Reid, Tom Ellis and Josh Bayliss who are all emer...

Meanwhile I've been watching the highlights of the '06 loss. Not sure why I did that. Sean Perry I assume won his England caps in a charity auction, Pichot made him his bitch in a manner that was basically hilarious. And our handling, my God. How bad was that side? Excellent tries from Sackey and B...

Excellent game of cricket, was fairly despairing when Williamson and Phillips were together but ended up semi comfortable.

Is it advantage England given that we play last in the last round? Not that we're guaranteed to take the benefit.

Be interesting to know who the money is owed to and what the terms are - presumably some is DCMS/Covid loans and some is owner/sugar daddy funding?

You posted this in the wrong thread toga, so: Exeter v Saracens Exeter: 15 Stuart Hogg, 14 Jack Nowell, 13 Henry Slade, 12 Ian Whitten, 11 Olly Woodburn, 10 Harvey Skinner, 9 Jack Maunder, 8 Jacques Vermeulen, 7 Christ Tshiunza, 6 Dave Ewers, 5 Jonny Gray, 4 Ruben van Heerden, 3 Harry Williams, 2 L...

So will Bath redevelop The Rec now? Have Bath published any plans of their proposals ? They're in a awfully cramped site, & the pitch is already a narrow one; it's hard to picture any re-development that won't piss off a lot of people, even before a brick is laid. Not sure, hence my question. H...

Didn't he say that he'd want to be known as Defender of Faith rather than Defender of the Faith?

I will be interested to see the administrators'/liquidators' report on this regarding the land transfers and the owners' behaviour - some very odd deals going through if social media is to be believed.

This ball checking nonsense from England is ridiculous. They are genuinely benefiting from it. Got to be a rule put in place that you can only check a certain number of times in an innings. It’s not just England though is it? The Kiwis were asking for ball checks at the same frequency- the problem ...

Well deserved for La Rochelle who have built up surely and patiently from 2nd division rugby to the top of Europe. Good recruitment, good management without ever overstretching the budget :thumbup: They were good at bringing in players who were not front players in their respective countries but br...

By who? Ramos was in his own half when the ball reached him from a Munster boot. ref said otherwise P*ss poor by the TMO. Watch is again. Ramos is at least 5m beyond the halfway line. The ball deflected off a Toulouse arm in the Munster half - that’s the only reason I can think it wasn’t a 50 22

Christophers?

How many Prem games has each of those on the list played in?

Wade would be well over 100 tries now if he hadn't left rugby.

Look up Phil Chesters ex Salisbury then went to Ealing and broke all the records

Was due to be back on the Caledonian Canal next week but one of the lock gates between Loch Ness and Loch Oich is still being repaired so have delayed that trip til next year. Spending a week in Devon instead.

Test Match Special

Old Elthamians are one of the more high profile recent examples of what happens when the backer pulls the plug for whatever reason. National League 1 has been short one club for the whole season. He died so a fairly definitive and sad reason! An odd club for a Saffa expat to pump money into though....

Watching Rugby Tonight and they're doing a head contact piece, how on earth did Biggar not earn a red in the Saints - Bristol game? Twice he shouldered players right in the head. Dickson... He really is fucking hopeless. With the cock ups he makes, how does he get assessed as of sufficient quality ...

This is the man who thinks Joe Marchant was playing inside centre against Ireland. He may have had a clue 20 years ago, not so much now

Porton Down just a few miles away....We're screwed

Are there alternative operators for the Scottish Isles ? Ireland, & Dover are okay, because there are alternatives; but the Isles could be proper screwed if P&O just decide to go into Liquidation. Caledonian MacBrayne, or CalMac run the ferries to the Scottish islands I think they are owned...

Is someone going to tell Woodentop that Marchant is an outside centre?
