Can't someone explain to me also how the world's best ref proclaims an accidental offside to be a full penalty?

One of those harsh laws of rugby.

Except that the actual laws dictate it should have been a scrum.

To the clive ross haters too
The man gets out there and plays with heart passion and intensity

Not many of our other forwards give a feck. Cross seems to give it all when askef to

Apparently he always gets the beers in too.
Just the problem with the entire set up here in a nutshell.
Acceptance and even praise of below average standards

This isn't necessarily your fault.
You've been brain washed into this sort of thinking by UR over the years.
Just urge the nearest person to slap you hard in an attempt to break the trance.

Agreed Lizzaj

Not really! It's one of those harsh laws of Nigel.

He just makes them up.

Like - "They started moving just after I called, 'Use it!'"
Yes, Nigel, that's because the Scarlets' stopped pushing when they heard the call. It was your mistake and comes from the fact that you are always too quick to call 'Use it'. The ball is in play, let the players play the feckin thing!

Suggest you go watch the A side
It's closer to his standard but he does very well there and brings a lot of experience

The problem you allude to is expecting a back row of Timoney Jones and Cross to be able to start versus Leinster and win us a game

2 of them are still developing and all should be used in stronger backrows to allow for rotation

Cross at 6 with Reidy at 7 and Coetzee at 8 can do a job and allpw guys like Henry a rest

Cross at 7 with academy boys leaves them all inexperienced and not at the top level

Kiss out

You’re just a typical man hating feminazi Liz.

I’m offended on behalf of Clive.

[Liz Fraser]

Tell them to slap harder

[222toHounslow]

What about a tickle?

What about a tickle?

That can be dealt with on Monday

Can someone explain to me how we get the likes of Clive Ross and Timoney as Leinster cast offs and the Scarlets get Tadgh Beirne?

Clive Ross and Timoney should not be in the same sentence. Timoney will be a fantastic player.

Again I find myself agreeing Snipe, about Timoney, Clive Ross, I have sympathy for, I don't think he's nearly as bad as some paint him and I understand he has thrown heart & soul into the A team in the B/I Cup.

[Cockatrice]

Scarlets 2nds V Leinster 2nd was an enjoyable and very watchable game way above our level...

Best he gets his skates on because he ain't a patch on Beirne currently.

Totally different kind of player.
Younger too.

So if Beirne is older and one of the best players in the league, why is he playing for the Scarlets and not us being my original point.
Timoney could be learning his trade there.
No matter what way you odds it I'd take Beirne.
The exact sort of player we need.

Tadgh Beirne is a decent player in a team playing well and having a great season. I'll disagree with your statement that he's one of the best players in the league. We'll see how he goes at Munster next season. I can't see him forcing his way into the Ireland set up, but I could be wrong.

[justinr73]

I reckon he will as Joe has apparently kept in touch, like he did with Farrell when he was in France.

Plus it’s not inceivable that Jordi’s stock will fall next season!

[Dave]

Beirne will be in the setup for damn sure. Quin Roux is in the setup ffs. He will of course have to prove himself at international level. Having Hendo, Ryan Beirne and big Dev heading into the world cup will be a cupboard well stocked with second rows. All offering something very different.
