Thats disgusting.

 

[Draggs]

Thats disgusting.

Yeah. I'm not saying someone can't change and all, but that was pretty bad. I dunno, maybe he has wised up and could do with a second chance. Who knows? Who can judge?
Kind of puts Andy Powell's jolly buggy japes in perspective.

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

In my opinion he got off lucky with 17 months. Sickening people, if I was a coach I wouldn't let him near my squad.

 

[smartcooky]

I'm digusted... only 17 months!

He ought to have got 10 years for such and egregious and brutal assault.

 

[LittleGuy]

Give him a google image search he looks like a ******.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

If he went to prison for 17months that means he only got out a few months ago...!
What are Scarlets thinking?!

I don't condone violence on the rugby pitch, but if Paul O'Connell were to flyhack a ball near his head....then that'd be great.

 

[profitius]

I'm surprised the Scarlets are signing him. It looks bad for their image.

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Michael Paterson, Kirill Kulemin and Charlie Walker-Blair ---> Sale

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Richie Gray to Castres 'n' all.

 

[Conal]

Richie Gray to Castres 'n' all.

is it wrong i hope he gets showed up as a showpony in the brutal forwards games in france?

im not even sure why i just don't like mr gray!

 

[j'nuh]

Richie Gray to Castres 'n' all.

Early contender for most disappointing signing of next season?

That was shown with his time at Sale. Imagine what it'll be like up against physical monsters weekly

 

[ratsapprentice]

What annoys me about him so much, is that he's moving on as if he is too good for them, when he has shown nothing to suggest that's true.

 

[psychic duck]

You can't say he isn't a great athlete ...



I don't blame him for getting out of Sale after their shambolic season when there is the chance to join a better team.

Richard Barrington (prop) - Jersey to Saracens

[Getofmeland]

George Ford to Bath Rugby

http://www.bathrugby.com/news/team-news/bath-rugby-confirm-ford-signing

 

[Feicarsinn]

Finally confirmed then. A fine signing.

 

[Patchey]

From the point of view of English rugby lets hope leaving Leicester has the same effect on Ford it did on Twelvetrees.
