Rugby Union

You'll have to find some other word or phrase to use now, the BBC it seems have decided the use of the word "handbags" doesn't meet their standards, and after one pundit used the term some listeners advised they had been offended.

Luckily in this case the guilty party has been merely suspended for a few months rather than sacked.

There is more than one reason that the BBC have lost most live sports coverage.

Any notion of BA being impartial evaporated the moment they went into partnership with the RFU and not the other Unions.

In the great scale of things it matters very little.

Wyn Jones reffing again, I really want ref's to grip that from any side.

 

[re-stilly]

Anyone else think refs allow advantage to go on far to long.

I'll let you discuss that with AWJ! .

He knows exactly what he's doing, as do the others. Just needs reffing.

 

[Helm]

Good try by Wales, very unexpected

 

[Helm]

hmm I'd have said knock on obviously.

 

[Auld-Yin]

That is very good refereeing by Polite, not that many refs allow charge downs these days going for knock -ons instead. Well done RP.

God try by Wales on the breakaway.

 

[schweik]

Ref was correct, imho.

somewhat against the run of play, that was

 

[Helm]

Nice try in return

 

[Endoscope]

Great try England

 

[Helm]

Can somebody get Farrell's boots

 

[schweik]

Pains me to say it, but that was an excellent try by England

 

[johnboyzzz]

Well done to M. Poite putting the Irishman back in his box

 

[re-stilly]

Have to say, been impressed with England going in low at the tackle the last few matches, rather than trying to tackle at the shoulders.

 

[Endoscope]

Ref helping on the last 3 decisions

Dan Biggar, an excellent fly half in so many ways, but a total cock.

I wouldn’t be sorry to see him dropped and never pull on a Welsh shirt again.

Honestly can't say why they are keeping him on, no replacement?
