[Sir Speedy]

So far, London Irish, Newcastle and Harlequins are through. Sale and Ospreys now; Nick Macleod must die...

 

[Bullitt]

So far the only team looking remotely good have been Quins, but even my touch-rugby team could have done well against Leeds. The Army FTW.

Oh, and I now understand why Will harries never normally passes. Useless gimp.

 

[Sir Speedy]

So we've stuffed the Ospreys; oh goodie, we get to play Quins next! Q(^.^Q)
God, if only we sent out some stronger players. >_>

 

[Sir Speedy]

CROFT CORNER?!
:lol:

 

[Vambo]

Do these new ELV's mean you can have half of your leg over the touchline and still be awarded the try? Cheating Leicester gits :bleh!:

 

[Bullitt]

Saints dispatch 1 half of the Welsh contingent, still looking poor. Bring on the Ospreys!

[/b]

Leeds beat you to it. :lol:

 

[Bullitt]

Oh well, both dispatched!

 

[SecondRow04]

Harlequins beat the British Army 22 - 12 int he final!

Good day of running rugby!

Anybody else enjoy the Tuilagi hit on Bishay i think in the wasps game!

 

[cyRil]

Glad I didn't bother going down to Twickers now!!!

 

[Prestwick]

*sigh* it is so sad that we had to play babysitter for such a weak and inept Saints side in the plate final, but needs as needs must.

Saracens 26 - Northampton - 7.

No, the new ELVs require you to do this as soon as you touch down:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/s8IMvrAiL4g&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/s8IMvrAiL4g&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

All in the name of exciting running rugby, speeding up the game, etc.

NEW ZEALAND...REEAAAADDDYYYY?!

 

[Bullitt]

Poor old Sarries, the scoreline flattered their 1sst XV and seasoned 7s players against Saints teenage kids and Will "I won't pass the ball or go forward" Harries.

Still, at least the Welsh sides were sent home winless.
