    @mooshld It's likely he has triggered someone and that can't be brushed aside ๐Ÿ˜‘

    @Catogrande Small wonder no one is prepared to put their name to the article. Just more shit journalism from the NZ Herald.

    @antipodean I hadn't bothered to read it but now you've forced my hand. Now I don't like you.

    It is a piss-poor character assassination on a bloke that has made a poor mistake. Way over the top.

    @Stargazer stade players have been on strike all week here.

    There is more to this then meets the eye u suspect this was about applying done back room pressure but to what end I don't know.

    So I did a bit of reading around in French sites. Here is the conspiracy theory.

    Stade and racing didn't want to play this weekend with key players on international duty. They decide to merge, it all kicks offโ€‹, the games both get postponed. Weekend over merger off.

    The president of Toulon is buying into it tweeting that he plans to merge with pattya in Thailand if it gets his team a week off as well.

    You can see why the French are happy for the June series to move to July and shortening the duration of the Six Nations. The Bouclier de Brennus is king.

    Leicester Tigers have sacked Aaron Mauger as head coach and immediately replaced him with Australian coach Matt O'Connor.

    @Bovidae said in NH club rugby:

    Leicester Tigers have sacked Aaron Mauger as head coach and immediately replaced him with Australian coach Matt O'Connor.

    And this just after he's one some silverware, the Anglo-Welsh Cup, mind you the spirit of this comp is that it's a development competition and they fielded a pretty strong line up.

    OK so they beat my local side so I may be a little bitter, but...

    @Catogrande

    You can get away with plenty up here, but playing a strong team in the Anglo Welsh final and winning it....

    Poor form, he had to go

    I haven't seen many positive comments on the sacking of Mauger (or the timing of it).
    This is how a few Leicester Tigers' players responded on social media:

    Telusa Veainu: With 5 games to go, really?? We don't know how good we've got it! #biggerpicture #gutted

    Mike Williams: We've lost a good man..

    This post from Colin Slade seems to imply that he's out for the season. Does anyone know what the Top 14 protocols for head knocks are exactly?

    @Stargazer Don't know exactly, but I read somewhere that it was his third concussion this season and thus been sat down. So seems it is three strikes and you are out? Reasonable, probably two would suffice if they are in a short span.

    Racing Metro are switched on today, 20 - 0 over Clermont coming up to half time. Try to Masoe and a few goals to Carter, decent game.

    Great game at the RDS in the sunshine. Leinster just pip Cardiff to the win 22-21 and puts them back on top of the table.

    Hayden Triggs is a warrior player given the year he and his family have had. Should get a big farewell in the last home game of the season.

    Glasgow up 10-5 in a free running against Connacht at Scotstoun.

    A bit harem scarem as both sides throwing the ball around and the offside line being ignored with two rush defences.
