can't remember how much he was earning, but it always seemed to be a fat wedge given the size of the org he was running iirc.
Scottish rugby has its work cut out if it wants ro expand beyond just getting bums on seats tor a couple 6Nn games imo, so interesting to see who comes in to replace.
i assume it's just a procedural issue around the new central contracts. Otherwise it's just a bit weird.
I dont get the fuss over kicking. A good kicking contest is brilliant and is what opens things up for the running rugby everyone says they want.
Bad, aimless kicking is obviously bad, but that's different and can be punished by a team that understand why, how and when to kick.
was wondering if Zebre could go on a brief undefeated run. Turns out i was paying attention to the wrong italian team :D
looks like he's confirmed as skipping the 6N, so should be fine.
Arrhur Vincent, Sekou Macalou and one of Penaud or Bielle-Biarrey also likely to feature for the 7s.
Thought it was mad England sacking Jones, and I was one of the people that maintained England had been underperforming for about 18 months. Couple of million quid buying out contracts just to get to where they would be right now anyways.
But sacking Rennie was absolutely batshit. If you look at the win % he wasn’t doing brilliantly, but a lot of those losses were very narrow, for eg single point (iirc) loss to France in Paris etc, and in circumstances that were less than ideal. The administrators basically YOLO’d it, and there should be heads rolling higher up imo.
Missed this because reasons, but at least it was closer than last time.
Tbh though, part of me would much rather teams in these games just had fun like it was a barbarians game, rather than worrying about who wins. Nobody remembers who wins these matches anyway (he says after making a comment about who won the third place play off in 2007).
Tbf, they won the same match in 2007.
Once took a recently turned three year old on a two hour flight without too much issue. Obvs at that age an extra year is a huge difference, but he was genuinely loving the take off and once you’re up it’s basically a big ol’ white noise machine. We had a tablet and books handy for him, though he still got restless towards then end
I imagine with yours being younger and the haul being longer it might be more problematic, but I would treat it like any other boring-for-kids situation. Books, activities, hey duggee on the tablet. Hopefully they’ll sleep at some point.
Other than that, just be aware that the people on the plane will be furiously twittering about parents and children and planes. But they’re probably cunts, so fuck ‘em.
On a side note, what is it with teams spending 70 minutes kicking the ball to Freddie Steward and expecting to get anything from it?
We are all Etzebeth now.
Or something.
Still disappointed the rumours of Townsend going for the attack coach position in the French national setup came to nothing. Reckon that could have been fun.
