Another red in the premiership this even.

Yeandle sent off for exeter

Dave_The_Sheep · 26-02-2021 10:16pm

For exactly the same thing as lots of the other reds. Beyond silly players keep doing it.

Pirates leading Saracens 25-17 late in the game.

17-12 in the Quins - Northampton game with only 13 minutes gone. Defending optional, but it's certainly entertaining!

Some great attacking plays in it.

Perfect weather and two teams who like to throw it about

sydthebeat · 07-03-2021 5:11pm

This is a great watch!!

Dave_The_Sheep · 07-03-2021 5:13pm

It really is. Quality counter by Sleighthome.

Dave_The_Sheep · 07-03-2021 5:23pm

Real shame that offload was a smidge forward. Would have been a cracking try.

sydthebeat · 07-03-2021 5:27pm

I'm also highly impressed with the reffing of the game. Pearce has no problem saying if he's wrong or he didn't see something, and the whole team are working well together.

And Marcus Smith is simply class

Dave_The_Sheep · 07-03-2021 5:46pm

Saints, playing 15 against 13 with a scrum in front of the posts in the opposition 22, manage to a) not score and then b) turn the ball over and then c) lose 50 metres and finally d) knock the ball on, losing possession.

Genuinely awful last few minutes.

Danny Cipriani signed for Bath on a one year deal, and Freddie Burns is coming back from Japan to join Leicester

3 red cards in 4 games so far this weekend

Two or those were for Bath as well.

Digifriendly · 27-03-2021 7:28pm

Sale beat Wasps despite 4 Yellow cards in second half.
Bristol having been dominated by Harlequins for most of second half score 2 late tries to steal win at the death.

OldRio · 28-03-2021 4:56pm

Genge is some prick.

Genge is a knacker! What a yob! He's a real chunk of turd!

People really need to stop using that word. Travellers are still a group people think it's ok to disparage, never mind the class bit.

is Genge a traveller??

Regardless of whether he's a traveller or not, using knacker as an insult implies that you think there's something wrong with being a traveller.

Well that's quite a far out illogical stretch....

Knacker is not an exclusive term for a traveller. Calling someone who acts like a scumbag a knacker is not implying they are travellers....

Or maybe where you come from its used solely for that purpose?? Because its certainly not where I'm from.

That's the origin of it though Syd, over time it's become more known as a way of calling anyone a scumbag but it was only for travellers originally as knacker was one of the jobs they used to do, like tinker. Hence the term knackers yard.

It's pretty commonly used to describe the travelling community in a derogative way, but a lot of people have been using it broadly now.

Well then that tells me the etymology of the words is being so diluted so as not to have it associated specifically as a derogatory term for a traveller.... Which is actually a good thing.

We all know what "knacker drinking" is... and there's absolutely no inference to travellers with that phrase. Also something being "ready for the knackers yard" is a phrase which also has no inference to travellers.

So unless it's specifically used as a derogatory insult towards a traveller.... It's use to describe scumbag actions is pertinent and valid

Anyway, its obviously a very sensitive subject so I'll leave it there.

The slur has simply been extpanded to disparage poor people as well as travellers. A bunch of pissed up Leinster fans assaulting passers by in Blackrock (I've seen it happen) aren't knackers, but the equivalent in Summerhill or O Connell St are. Using words like pertinent and valid to rationalise class hatred doesn't make it scientific.

sydthebeat · 29-03-2021 11:42pm

Class hated... Leinster fans.... Blackrock...
Jeez you live a sheltered life.

Anyway I've already said that I'm out.

OldRio · 17-04-2021 12:43pm

If anyone wants to watch some Rugby. Channel 5.
Exeter v Wasps.

Digifriendly · 18-04-2021 7:54am

Lot of tries in games this season. Wonder is fact that there are no fans mean players feel they are under less pressure?
Just a thought.
