Family. Ex-teacher sport especially rugby union, (Scotland/Hawick) and horse racing. Rock music, malt whisky, dodgy puns. Often found near cheese... Occasional political wafflings. Will follow back all non-spam accounts

Top right Redcar? Bottom left Thirsk.

Do I get a point for remembering after missing it two weeks in a row? ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

34 seconds ๐Ÿ˜‚.

Without giving too much away, the first quarter has seen a fairly laissez-faire approach to defence!

Red card 34 seconds in to the Pau v La Rochelle game. ๐Ÿ˜ฒ (On premier sports 2).

That's exactly what I mean. We could lose the lot. Still think we'll beat you (no offence but probably) but that's not enough.

There are suggestions that the Argentina capitulation has changed the mood within the SRU.

Correct. We've been papering over the cracks for a few years now, but the fissures are becoming more obvious.

If we lose our two home games in 6N, (England and France) it will become a chasm.

Think the commentator said you'd 23 unavailable. Edinburgh's achievement tonight was a variation on the theme.

Not scoring a bonus point was woeful, but fair play to Ospreys, I thought for a scratch team they were savvy and committed.

Hopefully a valuable LBP for you in the long run.

This is beautifully set up for Edinburgh to invent another way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Perhaps Wales should keep the four regions and scrap the National team... ๐Ÿ˜œ

True but just voccasionally I think it's still the right thing to do.

Even squidge is disbelieving.

Yup sport has been badly let down tonight.

We'll see. Deserved to be cited. And I was a neutral viewer.

Unlike you.

They've got a case. Dreadful decision.

Truly letting the sport down.

I'm completely neutral on the Dragons Leinster game.

But that blatantly reckless head contact is one of the poorest decisions I've seen in many years.

So Weak.

28. Eek. Could have played two more world cups quite easily.

Fair play to her though, obviously pursuing another life goal.

Last Wednesday in November incoming.

Probably explains why there are 35 flat races scheduled in GB and Ireland.

Yeah agree with pretty much all.of that. And maybe signing Isak has impacted Sarah's mindset.

Does tell a story though, the summer signings have yet to gel as a team (they well still could) and I'm not sure the newcomers quite get the Anfield spirit.
