Off Topic The Rugby Thread

Of course - I was with Neath in the 90s

 

Playing?


Mind you this match was in the 1960s

 

No - I was too old to be playing. I was on the Committee of the Club for 6 or 7 years.

The pre-Regional days were much better in my opinion

 

Hearing Eddie Jones has been sacked. Controversial? Wondering if RFU have shot themselves in the foot?

 

Recent games of irrelevant with the World Cup next year, I’m thinking mistake. Perhaps more behind the scenes

 

All coaches have a shelf life, Jones was definitely past his. When he started picking players totally out of position, like Tom Curry at number eight, and insisting he was the best we had, it was strange how all over the place his selection’s got.

 

Should've gone last year imo, his style had become stale and results and performances were just poor. Hoping they make the right appointment !

 

England have a very talented group of players but he’s not getting anything like the best out of them. Jones started this job like a train, a ridiculous number of consecutive wins, then ups and downs until the amazing World Cup semi final against the All Blacks, followed by an immediate downer against South Africa. He’s been around a long time, probably used up all his tricks now. The gamble is who is available and willing to come in, and could Jones be a tournament manager like Southgate?

 

You could do a lot worse than appoint Scott Robertson up to the RWC - innovative, successful and a players’ coach - with an option to renew thereafter.

I honestly think - with the talent at his disposal - he could take you all the way

 

Very sad news…….
I was really hoping he would be left in position until after the World Cup


Horrible little man

 

Would he want the job?

The Kraken wakes…..

how are you sir? No interest in the footy World Cup again of course……

 

Loads of interest. Shouting for you lot and really think ye can actually win it out.

 

Any chance of coming over for a game at Loftus Road?

 

A good few of us coming over in January. I’m bringing the not so young, young fella too

 

By the way, break the bank to get Scott Robinson
