If Wray thought Daly's Briefcase business was so attractive for investment then he wouldn't have to wait for Daly to sign for Saracens to invest...

I don't look through rugby news websites/papers so posted links are very interesting, thank you.

Hang on - Stuart Pearce at fullback surely. For one, he actually played fullback ( 
) but he's also one of the only footballers who could actually tackle like Lewsey.

Gordon Banks at 5 - safe pair of hands in the lineout.
Bobby Moore at 7 - if he can pick Pele's pocket then he can force a few turnovers at the breakdown.

Has Sops brought any family over? Difficulty settling might not just be down to the atmosphere in the club / enjoying his job.

Even if it is prescribed, you need to be careful to read your copy and not your partner's...

Nice to see a living green wall there. Not that it'll do much to combat the CO2 generated by the soil heaters, UV lamps, and spewed from the rugby pundits! Should the replacement roofs have solar panels installed? Seems a good opportunity. Maybe a government grant available!

I think they're good for keeping the score ticking over and helping to ensure you come away with points each time you're in the opposition 22. It's near criminal to be messing around in the 22 for 5 minutes and lose possession with no score.

The high angle is really interesting. You can see Lewsey sprinting across at full speed but when he gets close there's a change in gait so he's better suited to powerfully drive yer man into touch.

Wasps Rugby Discussion / Re: World Rugby proposing some new laws after RWC.
« on: March 21, 2019, 10:11:28 AM »I will C&P the article later (from The Times).
More laws on safety and introducing the RL 40-20 (to be called 50-20 in RU) kick to touch whereby the side kicking to touch get the lineout put in. Rationale is to reduce numbers in midfield defensive line by forcing more players having to defned in back field.
Good idea. If they want to reduce the number of midfield defenders then they could also try reducing the number of players by a couple on each side...
Seriously though, I think that's a good idea. Brainless kicking will become more dangerous as there will be more defenders to run it back, while simultaneously skillful kicking will have a greater reward. And there will be a man or two fewer in the midfield (or out wide for teams that can get the ball out there).

The statement seems to forget that Wasps continued existence is pretty important too.

Exciting player. But miss a kick or two and some, err, fans would be calling for his head.
