Rugby incident

I'm on a big delay.
I'd agree it's a rugby incident, **** happens.
Current protocols though really doesn't give much leeway

Saracens spank Ealing.

Saracens spank Ealing.

Unfortunately or fortunately which ever side of fence we sit on .
Ealing at present ain't good enough.
No doubt playoffs could prove me wrong.
And would happily eat humble pie however does anyone think it could happen??,

Ealing do have an owner with deep pockets though.

Their only chance of making an impression on the Premiership would be to buy a team full of mercenaries and even then, I doubt that would work.

 

[Geordie]

I despair with the Falcons....played some really good aggressive rugby in the first half then absolutely fell to pieces in the second.

So frustrating to watch...

London Welsh being a prime example of just how badly that can go wrong.

Interesting thing is that they were comparing Obano and Thorley's tackles. Difference for me is when Thorley hit Miller, he was dropping into the tackle but Obano was always rising to tackle Morris so don't think he could have dropped. Obano just got the technique completely wrong.

Also, can someone remind me of the pre-binding rules for 5m out, because all games during the weekend, everyone seemed to have pre-bound?

Pre-binding technically still illegal.
I have a feeling there's a loophole where the binding player can bind to each other, but not the carrier, butntheyre not supposed to touch the carrier before first contact with a defender.
Feeding at the scrum gets penalise about 3-4 times more often.

I've definitely seen some refs warn about pre-binding and given penalties for it. However like most areas it is inconsistently reffed. I'm sure Luke Pearce is hot on it.

Almost like being a winger isn't the main focus of a back row...

Was more a nod to his versatility and how that gives the lions the best chance to compete against the world champions, but sure
