A change is desperately needed, and has done for the last 2 years. Funny how the board were so cut throat when it came to getting rid of Pearson, yet seemingly Lam can do no wrong despite us having regressed completely since the Quins capitulation. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that does seem to be the high water mark. I’ll give him a pass for the contracts debacle when the wage cap was reduced, but that can no longer be an excuse.

Spoons Posted December 30, 2023 Report Share Posted December 30, 2023 Last night’s match as a football supporter attending the rugby with two kids aged 10 and 11 in Atyeo Stand…… Shocked by how many people were absolutely pissed…. Shocked by bad language and lack of respect to players in general ( especially when kicking ) …. I was sat directly behind a group of 20 Exeter chiefs fans ( in fancy dress) who were absolutely off there heads. Two lads being sick everywhere 55 minutes into the game in the stand. Now my lad plays Grass roots rugby and I love it, proper respect for referees/ players and coaches etc …… last night was embarrassing sat in the stands trying to explain what the hell was going on in front of us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a small subset of rugby fans who have absolutely no regards for other fans. It’s all about how many pints “the lads” can get through regardless on how many trips to the concourse that means. It would be great if some sections were alcohol free, or not allowed to be brought in during play at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelRobartes Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Bad result for Bristol. I think the Bulls have a great chance to win the URC this season, but obviously the South Africans are weaker away from home and were down a few of their best players. Have to beat Connacht now, who've had a tough group stage themselves but aren't playing too badly in the URC at all. Joyce has been a brilliant signing for them.

Admin phantom Posted January 15 Admin Report Share Posted January 15 How does a South African team get to enter a European competition? Almost as confusing as Australia being in the Eurovision song contest lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been fantastic for the league and a few new rivalries like Stormers and Munster have already grown. I think it'll have the same effect on Europe (if the competition lasts that long) and is worth persevering with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a real extreme to bring in a side from so far away, I can't imagine it's too cost effective to be travelling that far? It almost feels like the last throw of the dice to create a competitive competition Do the sides all play home and away against each other?

It almost feels like the last throw of the dice to create a competitive competition Do the sides all play home and away against each other? I think it was a no-brainer really. The SA union have been interested in European rugby for a while. The travel isn't ideal, but their teams were playing in Super Rugby against Kiwi and Aussie sides before so they've always had to travel. This gives them access to the more-lucrative European market and synchronises their season with Europe, which is handy when you've a lot of internationals playing there. Our league has always been talked down, mostly because there weren't enough tight matches (the Welsh and Scots haven't always been competitive, for example) and Leinster usually won pretty handily. The SA teams give us harder games and mini tours to SA which has - so far - been great. No, there are 16 teams in total. You play home and away against the other teams from your country and once against the rest, alternating home and away each season. It's not ideal and I was sceptical, but I have probably watched about two thirds of the matches on average for about 5 or 6 years and the quality has gone up pretty sharply since the SA sides were introduced in my opinion. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll free up a decent chunk of Bristol's wage budget. If it's a straight choice between their two England props, I'd much rather keep Genge. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 Nonsense red, but the performance has been a disgrace. If you can't be arsed to do the basics like resource rucks properly then you won't win many games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
