Good article on why Premier Rugby, same Top 14, are short term focused idiots
A toxic mix of decreasing income, increasing outgoings and living off capital
CVC Rugby - How to spend £5.3 million? Many Premiership Directors of Rugby may be pondering which of Nigel Wray’s players they could buy using his money?

A nice tribute from Alby Matthewson's coach at Munster -
-
@Daffy-Jaffy I wonder where he'll go next. You'd think he's still good for another pro-contract.
-
@Stargazer I see he will be 34 in December so maybe he is heading home. He could probably go another season or two of NPC if he chooses to.
-
@Daffy-Jaffy Yeah, that's what I was thinking. If Brad Weber is still in the ABs in 2020, I'd love to have Mathewson back with the Magpies as a back-up for Fakatava (who should start). His experience will be valuable in the squad, esp if we lose some of our other older players.
Maybe Sunwolves, too.
-
@Stargazer He laced up his boots for the Magpies way back in 2013 or thereabouts before shunning us for the Western Force. By all means get him involved in the coaching/technical side of things as from memory can't recall him setting the world on fire in the black and white hooped jersey all those years ago so it might be better in investing in future prospects when it comes to members of the playing squad.

Pat Lam has a Semi!
Semi Radradra signs for Bristol Bears
Semi: "I’m looking forward to be playing under Pat Lam at #BristolBears. They are one of the most exciting teams in Europe right now and the way that they are doing things is making everybody take notice."Radradra and Piatau in the same backline should be worth a look!

Jayden Hayward getting dominated in the scrum

My son has been doing that to me for years. Next year should be his first year actually pushing in scrums (Under 12).
-
@Daffy-Jaffy loved the comment:
Important to start them scrumming young or they’ll become backs.
TR Jnr and I do that as a scrumming exercise (he is a prop/hooker) to get his core stability and technique, although I dont let him win!

Unlucky but clumsy.
Red card by the guidelines.
