    Heineken Cup talks "have now ended"

    Scotland and Italy's slide into being international also-rans is assured. Romania, forget it dudes. Its a closed shop. You are just there to make the rugby world cup last longer than a fortnight. I've washed my hands of Northern Hemisphere domestic rugby. Here's one consumer who doesn't find...

    Sea Life can go to hell.

    I watched this storyville documentary on BBC4 last night, I'd sky+'d it from about a month ago. It was called Blackfish - The Whale that Killed. Silly ***le about this Killer Whale called Tillikum who has killed some idiot who broke into Sea Life and jumped in his holding tank and also two of...

    The Anchorman guide to obscure sports (including Rugby)

    There's a lot of annoyed fencers posting their displeasure under that video. I think us rugby fans and all the jousters out there are quietly chuft with ourselves. :rock:

    What are you listening to?

    The entire Led Zeppellin is in the process of being uploaded onto Spotify (Thank you Jimmy!). I'm taking my fav Led Zep II album out for a spin as I type this. Now if only AC/DC will see the light as well...

    You'll be amazed to hear that I voted to for the ERC.

    Eurocup poll

    I don't know about you but I'm interested to see exactly where people stand on the future of the European cup. This thread will not replace "The Heinkenen Cup Talks Are Over". That's the go-to thread if you have anything to say. This one is just a poll, but if you can post a quick reply stating...

    Where do you see rugby in..50 years? 20? 10?"

    Seriously? I see the All Blacks being the big fish in a small pond exactly the same as Australia's Kangaroos. I see the sport going amateur in Scotland and Italy and union will be a closed shop because no TV channel will pay to see some developing nation get trounced by 100 pt margins. I see an...

    Heineken Cup talks "have now ended"

    http://www.planetrugby.co.uk/story/0,25883,16024_9067578,00.html The RFU have issued the following statement, nothing to get too worked up about until PRL clarifies its position, which I expect will happen this afternoon. Last thing I heard was that PRL were boycotting the Eurocup, which means...

    The English national anthem

    Let the Ramones write your national anthem. I've come up with a very English national anthem entitled "Everyone loves Winston." He's short, He's round, He rolled along the ground Winston Churchill, Winston Churchill. He's short, He's round, He rolled along the ground Winston Churchill...

    Heineken Cup 2013/14 Pool 5, Round 3 (Ulster v Treviso, Tigers v Montpellier)

    Ouch! that's Ravenhill for you Treviso! Leicester v Montpellier was very cool. The French side kept coming at us like Smokin' Joe Frazer's ghost! It didn't matter what kind of punishment we dished out they kept swinging! (Joe is my fav boxer simply because of his bravery, under dog status and...

    Heineken Cup 2013/14 Pool 6, Round 3 (Munster v USAP, Edinburgh v Gloucester)

    Glaws got back on the horse today. I don't see them really troubling the big guns though. Edinburgh should be disappointed in themselves. Munster are colossi straddling this pool but are the just the big fish in a small pond... I reckon they are dangerous floaters. if your are the 3rd or 4th...

    Heineken Cup 2013/14 Pool 4, Round 3 (Clermont v Scarlets, Racing v Quins)

    Clermont did as we all expected. They are still favs to grab a very high seeding. Quins were brilliant! Racing so disinterested pretty much stole their week's wages from their owner. Not all bad then! Seriously though, Harlequins have to guard against a backlash next weekend.

    Heineken Cup 2013/14 Pool 3, Round 3 (Zebre v Saracens, Toulouse v Connacht)

    BOOM!!!!! The the noise of Pool 3 blasting wide open again! That's euro-cup rugby! That's possibly the sound of Toulouse dropping down the quarter final seedings! Zebre vs Sarries, well give zebra time (that's a plea!). Treviso didn't immediately start by mugging teams like Perpignan and...

    Heineken Cup 2013/14 Pool 2, Round 3 (Cardiff v Glasgow, Exeter v Toulon)

    Just as well that glasgow were away from home... Awwww Exeter should have won that. They are so naive!!!! Toulon were there for the taking but one team played territory, the other team played like an enthusiastic puppy bothering a grumpy cat. That's never going to end well. Toulon are not...

    Heineken Cup 2013/14 Pool 1, Round 3 (Castres v Ospreys, Saints v Leinster)

    Losing to the Top 14 champions is no great disgrace but... I'm still disappointed with the Ospreys and I'm wondering just what is going on behind the scenes... Anyone care to clarify? (or make something up... No talk of aliens though, that would be silly.) Leinster were awesome. They were...

    Heineken Cup talks "have now ended"

    Round three of the eurocup kicked ass as usual. Connaught had a massive impact on their pool on Sunday by beating Toulouse. Saracens could now theoretically top the pool, while Toulouse' quarterfinal ranking potential has dropped dramatically, no easy QF for them! Also Connaught do have a...

    For talking rot.

    Oh so this is the thread for talking bo11ocks. D'oh, and there's me posting all over the place. ^_^ Stand by for my brand new trashy grindhouse movie poster avatar... Desperate Teenage Lovedolls!!! This movie won the Best Worst Picture Oscar in 197ish, the most tackiest production imaginable...

    Gatland Named UK Coach Of The Year

    Okay, so I was laughing at him when Wales lost to Oz last weekend, but I'll be sensible for a change. Congratulations Warren. The Lions won and got a bit revenge for 2001. I'm a happy Lions fan and Gats delivered the goods by having the sense to pick Corbs at loosehead. :D
