Great news NickAnd I’m pleased to report no knee taking during the anti racism statement
But who thinks that statement needs to be broadcast before a rugby game?
Rugby fans are far more grown up than many puffball fans.
Hence the reason that rugby fans of opposing teams can be mixed in the same stands. Even at an international game.

I believe there have been a few daft remarks in the past from crowds, I have zero issue with making statements to reinforce the message and keep racism out of the gameGreat news Nick

Any rugby player/fan regardless of age creed colour religion or sexual orientation is always welcome at my drinking table
Taking the knee though is a totally different kettle of fish……..
Will the Sweatie fans heckling a kicker from another team be considered racism?I believe there have been a few daft remarks in the past from crowds, I have zero issue with making statements to reinforce the message and keep racism out of the game

No that would be considered bad manners and ungentlemanly conduct and be deserving of a good twattingWill the Sweatie fans heckling a kicker from another team be considered racism?

Big game today against Wales
Tuilagi was making his grand return only to fall over in training and hurt his ankle so he’s out again
Eddie has apparently been building the team around Tuilagi in mid field which seems a bit friggin’ stupid -The bloke hasn’t completed a season since 2011 he’s always injured FFS
So I’m expecting a good drubbing today
Interesting stat Wales have only won twice at Twickenham since 2008 and only 5 times in the last 40 years

It's definitely a tough call NickScotland v France and I find myself supporting Scotland
In an ideal world a couple of large fully fueled jumbo jets full of French folk. Would have a mid air collision directly above the stadium
France in a different class to the niggly Jocks.

Don't be daft. France were deserving winners but the margins were tighter than the score line might suggest and the long pass to the left before Fickou scored on the right was visibly forward. The mower doesn't lie!
It was highly entertaining from both sides and France got the better of the rub of the baize and the penalty count.
Rose tinted glasses firmly in place.

So you disagree with Martin Johnson? Fine!
Johnson was just giving the Scots a glimmer of hope to hang on to.
Just accept that the Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys beat you guys
Oooh the shame of it!
