Lmao at Bristol almost being Welsh

The game today could well be a cracker

Not sure if he has caught the eye in England (Not meant to be a pun) But watch out for Leigh Halfpenny. Just been called up to the Welsh squad and he is on fire!

WRU took the regions to court yesterday and won, meaning that Gatlan will have 2 weeks to train them rather than the 4 days that the regions wanted. Pathetic is the only word to describe those regions.

Fair well Stradey park. What an amazing venue, been there a couple of times and the atmosphere it generates is special. It will be missed but hopefully all can be transfered to Parc Y Scarlet.

Yeah I've seen Halfpenny play before today, good player!

Tigers didn't show up today, that said, Cardiff played out their skins and deserved to win!


You ever said that to someone from Britsol?

Thought the Blues under-performed a little today. Their cutting edge was non existant and the scrum was shocking.

Nope I have never said that to anyone from Bristol. I don't think you should say it to anyone from Wales either, I'm a nice one

I save the Welsh jokes for my Welsh mate at work!!!

I wouldn't say their scrum under-performed at all, tis that Tigers has one of the best scrums in union............ although I know what you mean about the cutting edge, although I've never actually seen it from them.........
(I don't watch them enough obviously)

Cutting edge = Gareth Thomas.

Seriously it was all a little bit tight. That was down to Leicester and the Blues not really playing well enough to let their ambition shine through. I think that makes sense.

Ospreys today. Henson starts, Nikki Walker and Hook back, can't wait

I think Walker is a great player and a good trio of players to have coming back in a side. Both Henson and Hook looking to impress for a possible Lions tour!!! Should be good stuff, although every time I say that, Ospreys play pooh..........

Guess what happened today? They played pooh It's getting tedious now. Next week they will be good when the Ospreys seconds travel to Reading, but their first team need a slap!

Well at least we're sharing something in common - although you won.........


I'll leave you to the slapping mate!

Hey guys if you don't get any games on telly like me, there is a good feed for Setanta Sports out there (North American i think, but still I am watching Bath - Blues live right now and they show lot of football too).
Can I post a link like that on here?

That's great news!

You sure can post that link here, the only certain links you're not allowed to post are personnal links like your own forums, your myspace etc.... I'm sure it would be much appreciated also

Well done the Blues! First team through to the EDF semi finals

(They are showing World League Cup right now, what a pathetic imitation of a scrum they got! It's embarassing.)

EDIT: I forgot to mention that you need to download a program to watch it, but it takes like 5 minutes max, and no viruses or anything I've installed and it works fine.

Shocking performance from the Ospreys again, but we're through

EDF semi final draw:
Gloucester VS Ospreys
Cardiff Blues VS Northampton Saints.

Good match-ups there.

Hope Saints win it!

Watching a rerun, was an exciting game. I could have sworn Scarlets were gonna win, the way they started was great, but it all fell apart. Who we all cheering for anyway?

First of all I will be rooting for an all Welsh final. I don't care what anyone says, the English teams have put out stronger teams than the Welsh teams on quite alot of occassions, but to be fair, most team have made a big effort this year.

Then when the final comes;
Ospreys! Nobody listen to those dam Blues supporters sob story of not winning for yonks, C'mon the Ospreys!!!!

Well the Ospreys didn't play well lately, but I would like to see em win it all myself.

Super Saturday is here!

Wales VS South Africa
England VS The Pacific Islanders
Scotland VS New Zealand

Henson pulled out last night so Wales are in trouble, England got a young exciting new team and Scotland got a weak (if that's possible) New Zealand team.

We're optimistic over here, but god I'm nervous of a beating.

20-15 to S.Africa

They coulnd't give us more chances if they tried, so frustrating. We blew it!

Having said that I'm proud of the effort and comeback and it shows that we really are making the step up and getting closer to the top of world rugby once again.

Changes must be had, and going by the Gatland interview, training aint going to be nice this week

Wales should of won, very simple. South Africa wasn't at their best and were there for the taking. Some good rugby from Wales so looks promising, but they need to learn to score points in big games, something that they normally do well!

England looked good, score line wasn't perhaps as impressive as one would of liked, however the backs looked very good. For a young team I think they performed very well!

Agreed, Armitage, Sackey and Monye looked very impressive.
