    URC 2023/2024 Round 5

    After 11 missed points from the tee I think Zebre may have somehow found a worse flyhalf than Carlo Cannae. Zebre turning down a fairly straightforward penalty kick to take a late lead and inevitably not getting a try from the lineout, then concede a long distance try. At least I got to enjoy...

    URC 2023/2024 Round 5

    Heck, I thought I'd read abour Sexton possibly playing in the next 6N. I am well out the loop. In more important news, the commentator rightly asks how will Zebre respond the expectation that comes with winning a game. Answer: Cardiff 7-0 up, Zebre missed an easy penalty and the choke is on!

    URC 2023/2024 Round 5

    Assuming thats the u20s Prendergast I cannot believe he, both Byrnes, Sexton and Frawley are all at Leinster. I know its only Scarlets at home but it feels significant he is getting a URC start already. Like he is already well ahead of both Byrnes in the prospective RWC2027 pecking order...

    URC 2023/2024 Round 5

    This is exactly the sort of winnable game I expect Zebre to lose after their win last time. Cardiff haven't appeared quite as terrible as their points tally would suggest, so it wouldn't be a shock if they won. But Italian rugby needs this win, badly. Sharks's season realistically over with...

    URC 2023/2024 Round 4

    Hope they keep that going next week in Parma. Champs have only won two games out of four. Early signs it is going to be a tough contest for a home QF and home semi (not that that bothered Munster last time). Really hoping for Ospreys, Benetton and Edinburgh wins this weekend. All have...

    Super Rugby Pacific (2024)

    Struggling to get my head around this trend of ageing NH Tier 1 signings. https://www.rugbypass.com/news/super-rugby-imports-7-northern-hemisphere-players-heading-south/ I'd imagine they are on decent wages and other than Patchell I cannot see them making an impact. If they are struggling...

    URC 2023/2024 Round 4

    Nobody beats Zebre a googleplex times in a row! Good result given the backs the Sharks fielded. Delighted for them as I genuinely think they have a promising coach and if they hadn't got this win soon I could see the heads going down again. Zebre 10th at the time of typing (and yes, that is...

    A shame about the greasy conditions but the game improved as it went on and had plenty drama. Better than the scoreline suggests.

    A bit more space with the extra man i guess. Have to roll the dice.

    Don't mention Finlay is Scottish just before he messes up.

    In fairness to both sides they are playing for line breaks rather than trying to milk penalties.

    Kolbe channelling his inner Santiago Carrerras with a daft drop goal from his own half when a man up. I don't think giving good ball for the ABs to counter attack should be in the gameplan.

    ABs should be thinking drop goal already if they have a specialist.

    Water carrier has clearly told Bok fullbacks to just kick it to the corner.

    Don't worry, there'll always be other guys you can wink at at the airport.

    Pollard looking like a Bond villain. Finlay Christie to make me a believer?

    Ox has a career in the circus after that catch.
