@Catogrande so reporting facts is hatchet piece?

[antipodean]

Perhaps things have changed in a covid-19 world, but surely Itoje would be among the few forwards who could command seven figures?

[Machpants]

@antipodean yeah if he was committing too a good few seasons. Even the French have realised big names for one session is a waste, unless you can make media money off their name.

@Catogrande so reporting facts someone's opinion is hatchet piece?

There are plenty of overpaid, older stars (some over the hill) in the T14 getting similar amounts of cash but it is Itoje that is greedy because one coach who didn't sign him says so. Yeah, hatchet piece. Why it is even worth such coverage in NZ baffles me, Itoje possibly going abroad was mentioned over here in passing but that's it.

Usual pile of Stuff shite

You did note that the word "greedy" was put in quote marks in the headline?
And what that means?
(I can't believe that I'm defending Stuff... but... yeah, to be triggered by that, isn't quite fair)

Edit: in true Fern fashion, I haven't read the article, and have no intention to... it may well devolve into, at least, a hinted support of the frenchies aspersions. And yeah, I'm not going to read it because, yeah, it sounds like trash news. But not, (judging solely from the headline), a "hatchet piece".

Would need to pay him to give up his England career, so should be heaps.

@Catogrande Calm down.

Those bastard lions fans sung his name repeatedly after you smashed us out of the park completely in the Lions series (what, you only drew?). And then, after me proposing for years that he was rather over rated, he then was one of the key cogs which destroyed us in the world cup.

Man gets everything he deserves.

Geez

European finalists Racing plunged into Covid crisis - reports

With 9 cases of Covid-19 reported following midweek testing at Champions Cup finalists Racing, their league game at La Rochelle is now off.

[Machpants]

@Stargazer probably an easy win coming up for Exeter

Basically, whilst Exeter have almost two good sides, they don’t have a third that can compete with a close to full strength Wasps. Bristol have booked a play off place, Wasps are playing at home in the play offs, Exeter romped the regular season and Steve Diamond is moaning again.

[Machpants]

And Premier Rugby ignored their own rules again, and instead of cancelling Sale after 16 CV positives and giving the opposition team 5 points, they are supposedly playing on Weds. Oh and the team they played last time, and also have to isolate, aren't allowed to late call in some front row cover so they have to forfeit their game ...

Saracens drew with Bath, and hopefully those financial dopers won't see another game untill 2022 due to Championship being cancelled with no crowds.

It's usually just highlights of games.
