he's not wrong in this case, but it's up to LaR to recognise it's not being policed & take advantageOvals wrote: Sun Apr 30, 2023 2:14 pmJeez - do you ever stop the incessant one eyed whingeing about refs.Torquemada 1420 wrote: Sun Apr 30, 2023 2:10 pm Chiefs so far offside at every breakdown that a chipkick sees more of their players behind the LaR line than LaR![]()

Exeter seem to offer only 1 threat in attack: rolling maul from lineout. Frighteningly good they are at it but you can't expect to win top level games with just that.

He's by a good distance the biggest whingeing twat across either bored. Even worse than the Saffa loons. I don't thunk he actually watches the rugby, just the refs through his one good eye.SaintK wrote: Sun Apr 30, 2023 2:39 pmNope every match a French team are playing inOvals wrote: Sun Apr 30, 2023 2:14 pmJeez - do you ever stop the incessant one eyed whingeing about refs.Torquemada 1420 wrote: Sun Apr 30, 2023 2:10 pm Chiefs so far offside at every breakdown that a chipkick sees more of their players behind the LaR line than LaR![]()

And let's not forget the only reason Chiefs are here is because the one cheating ref Brace (the likes of Dickson and Adamson are just incompetent) fiddled them through with a decision that was so wrong, we saw the rarity of it being overturned.

@ JKM
Not a dig this: just pointing out this is what I said before that LaR really aren't the Fre equivalent of Exeter. LaR can play rugby too. They just don't do it often enough for anyone's liking.

Unclear. He's been injury prone all his career. Not really got any consistent run of games all season. I can't see LaR hoodwinking Leinster again and without his presence, their chances are practically none from rank outsiders.
He and Villiere are absolutely essential to any chance Fra has at RWC too: both are perma sicknotes though.

The issue will be aerobic capacity. I would suggest that there will be a paucity of slow twitch fibres.Tichtheid wrote: Sun Apr 30, 2023 3:37 pm Will Skelton is large, 2.03m and 140kg.
There is a Scottish strongman, Tom Stoltman, he's 2.03m and 185kg.
I've often wondered if he can catch a rugby ball.

Yeah, I wasn't being serious, that is not a playing weight in a sport where you're required to run, his knees and ankles would probably explode.
On the other hand, give him the ball and no one is going to take it off him.
He placed second at World's Strongest Man last week, having won it the two pervious years
He was actually a goalie in Soccer Aid last year and was surprisingly good.Tichtheid wrote: Sun Apr 30, 2023 3:46 pmC69 wrote: Sun Apr 30, 2023 3:41 pmThe issue will be aerobic capacity.

He's also got a younger brother who does the strongman competitions as well.

And are there two g’s in Bugger Off?
Tv crew is the competition organizer so I. This case BT afaik. And again the TMO has his own feed. Barnes thought it was a try ffs. He never asked about the grounding until later and the fucking the try was disallowed.
