Babbling 'brook

He was complaining about how long we were taking regrouping before a scrum saying we were wasting time chatting away while someone was down injured, and then he said "fiddly di, fiddly di, potato", This appeared to be what he believed the Irish were saying to each other.

Was about to post the same link, the micro second clips of schools rugby show a lot of attention to detail. Hard to argue with most of his points, apart from Dave Kearney

I was surprised to see VanDeFlier as first reciever as often as he was in the time he was on - what am I missing ? (on this topic:)

Turns out it is now theroetically possible if......
Wales win GS
Ireland win 4 with ENG or Scot win by >+ 16pts
Eng beat FR, IT, SC
France beat IT + Scot
Scotland beat Italy

Gives ranking of

1 94.78 New Zealand
2 87.35 England
3 86.67 Wales
4 86.64 Ireland
5 86.35 Australia

Australia will have at least 86.35 pts next week. (if they lose by >15pts to ENG) more likely to have 86.56. It is not possible for England, Ireland and Wales to all get above 86.35 during the 2017 6 nations. Australia are mathematicaly certain of being top seeds for the rwc19 draw, not even a yuge ...

If Argentina had made an effort against England SA could have been looking at 3rd seeds We get to look foward to the Welsh equal parts adorable and bolshy thinking they can get top 4 now @Xan am I right in saying 3 wins in 6n and we're home and hosed barring some freaky run of events elsewhere?

Edit - And follows it up with that. Idiotic. Could cost us the game.

Denton has been good since he's entered. Good leap on him.

not sure on denton, scrum got a lot worse and lineout maul defense dissappeared

8 points down and kicking for the corner from a pen in the middle of the 22?

Can we use the 9 April weekend ( Euro QF) for the missed Pro12 fixtures? May as well get something out of it. Seems silly to play these matches over St Patricks weekend during the 6 Nations..

A Tigers win gets a home semi vs Racing or away vs Toulon.
Could be an all AP final in Lyon

... One of the issues that I have never seen addressed with regards to a pan-European league [and especially the tedious coat-trailer of a English-South African competition] is how they would fill the stadia. After a while, you would imagine that the allure and expense of every second match requiri...

I assume this is just a first shot in his desire to set up a league outside the control of the unions He says somewhere else in the interview that if he doesn't get approval then he might think about buying a club in England - I suspect that is his real agenda.

Similar to the 1872 cup in Scotland we should keep a record of the Interpro league each year.
The welsh should do the same especially now they have the judgement day thing as the last inter-region of the season for them
