Sweeney is a t*at. Totally incompetent. Is there no mechanism by which he can be disposed of, within the RFU structures?

Wasps Rugby Discussion / Re: Rugby?s Radical Plans in The Times

For me the real plus of all this would be to keep the ball in play longer.
I would be even more radical in this respect to this. eg scrum called. Clock stops. Clock does not restart until after the scrum half put the ball in. If scrum went down, then play on (assuming no offence committed).
Lineouts. Stop clock if ball out of play. Restart clock as soon as ball is thrown in.
I would like to see the ball in play for a minumum of 60 minutes.

Chinnor and RAMS (Old Readingensians) to those whose played for a Thames Valley club in the past, have some serious wonga propping them up. One of them will surely get promoted at the end of this season.

If Wasps intentions to go for the URC start to have a lot of foundation, I suspect that the RFU will shift significantly!

Mr Grumpy.
Saw Mr Edwards interview in the highlights prog yesterday. Most ungracious individual.
Slated his team as having given the worst defensive display in his tenure. Not one mention of England whatsoever.

Well, if you are not Welsh it was a great game!!!!!

Wasps Rugby Discussion / U 20s tonight
« on: March 15, 2024, 10:07:31 PM »
What an amazing second half in the game down in Pau.
England U20 were 21-5 down at HT. Unbelievable second half in which they scored 6 tries to win 45-31 and take the U20 VI Nations title.
Even more impressive is that there are shades of how Eng played at HQ last week.
The production line is well and truly rolling.

Wasps Rugby Discussion / Re: Alledged illegal clearout at a ruck by Eng
« on: March 11, 2024, 11:42:01 AM »
A few keyboard warriors have analysed the alledged incident frame by frame. Their view is that point of contact was shoulder to shoulder. Furlong came out of the ruck so fast that they reckoned he would get 9.5/10 for artistic impression!!!!
No case to answer. And that presumably that is how the TMO, with everything at their disposal, saw it.

Irish on SM incensed by alledged illegal clearout by Eng that they claim should have been a straight red?
I watched the whole game quite closely. I did not see it neither did the Ref, ARef and the TMO.
Views of others on this?

TBH I reckon that URC would a good place for Wasps to rock up. Better option than the heap of dog poo that masquerades as the Premiership.
