Isn't he just, not just his attacking acumen, that 40 metre odd clearing kick with a couple if minutes to go was a potential game saver.

Him and Hogg...oh yes

Gelatines - Teaseling

On that prickly note, was going to put Genitals, but couldn't resist the anagram.

A good day, see you tomorrow

Morning Nick and PH

All ok here and trust likewise with yourselves and your loved ones

Today’s theme is words that contain the random letters QUE (as Manuel would ask)

Slazenger - Racquets

 

[nickyb]

Morning Taff & PH

Yup, all well, good to hear same applies to you and hopefully PH

Believe it or not, was just about to have Tennis as link, load of balls either way

Racquets - Question **

** why did the ref use TMO so many times yesterday, even some ex Welsh players commented on it

 

[Taffvalerowdy]

Nick - I think that refs nowadays are sh1t scared of making an error and therefore need the comfort blanket and reassurance of the TMO. Don’t think that, eg ‘great’ refs of the past like Gwynne Walters and Clive Norling (I’ve quoted Welsh refs as I am more familiar with them) would have felt the need ... but who knows?

[Taffvalerowdy]

Question - Equitable (?)

* - I don’t think so. It felt harsh at the time and still does

Every team will have to be careful about this type of entry for the remainder of the Six Nations..... Refs may/will feel compelled to follow suit for similar situations

Thanks for this Taff, can't see Nigel ceding his authority on a regular basis

We agreed yesterday - yellow card and a penalty. Didn't look like clear intent to hit his head, unlike POM.

I also agree with comments on Owen Farrell, at least one questionable hit every game, a serial offender in my opinion (not just because he is English)

Looking forward to Ireland - France PM

Equitable - Query

 

[Taffvalerowdy]

I thought Farrell was lucky yesterday - his hit on Varney (his father ‘Reg’ - ex-Neath open side - was good enough to have played for Wales) was reviewed. I’ve seen yellow cards given for such ‘tackles’...

Query - Equerry

 

[nickyb]

Indeed, Jones should have a word, fat chance though
