@LennieNewman1 It was embarrassing to watch, especially the reaction to Pollocks yellow.
English
3. Sitting directly on front of our commentary position who were an absolute disgrace! I’ve never witnessed such boorish behaviour with such vitriol and bad language used throughout at a game of rugby.
English
@stephenjones9 As usual you are wrong. Watch the Pollock yellow and tell me he got that one right.
English
have been critical of Andrew Brace several times over the years but significant that criticism of him after great Bath-Northampton game seems to have come exclusively from East Midlands. i thought he was superb, contributed to a fantastic spectacle.
English
@Charlesrylands7 Referee was wrong, you take that in rugby. What was a massive disappointment was the reaction of Bath fans. Embarrassing.
English
Only in rugby does a big moment like that not get reviewed by the TMO, never a yellow for Pollock
English
@WheresTommyV Sad sad day when you let your best players go. Timing is also questionable 🤨
English
Confirmed: George Furbank will leave Saints this summer. The current club captain will join Harlequins at the end of June.
English
@TightFive_Rugby Because of their respective rankings from qualifying & this year they get Home Country

So if Bath or Saints manage to get a home semi-final (If Toulouse beat Bordeaux) it’s going to be played in Milton Keynes.
Why…

A lot of youngsters won't remember this man as a player.
But let me tell you, kids, this man could play!
He was a great player.
English
Absolutely wasnt a red card but I expect nothing less from a Saints fan boy

YELLOW CARD! Guillaume Ducat. Unbelievable decision. An absolute shocker. Incredibly dangerous and deliberate clear-out on Henry Pollock. Arm was tucked. Referee says no red because contact was on the shoulder. Saints 7-12 Castres.

@DebsiF @PlanetRugby So the definition is subjective but then has a clear definition? Thanks for clearing that one up.

Who is the best rugby player of all time? 🏉

Ugo knows a thing or two about staying in the game - he's been treated with Arthrosamid, a hydrogel treatment for knee osteoarthritis, helping him stay active and pain-free in retirement 💪

@9ry46vq5cg @PlanetRugby I agree the definition is subjective. However, it is not broader than on field performance. Any player who was great off the field in any respect but couldn’t perform on it would hardly warrant selection. Again you miss my point although I suspect you choose to ignore it.
English
@DebsiF @PlanetRugby I understood your question.
Again, you seem to disregard hardship, culture and influence as factors to a players greatness or best of all time. Which are important considerations.
The definition of best is subjective and broader than on field performance. Especially for SA.
English
@9ry46vq5cg @PlanetRugby Not at all. The question was about best players. My remark focussed on the fact Mr Monye first referred to his colour as opposed to why he was the best player.
English
@DebsiF @PlanetRugby Perhaps the significance of a black SA captain has bypassed you.

What's missing from this banging full English breakfast?

Further updates will follow in due course.

Thank you for yesterday's recommendations
We are watching (and enjoying) Ben-Hur 😊

Rassie Erasmus has signed a multi-year deal to replace Steve Borthwick as England head coach. sarugbymag.co.za/rassie-quits-b…

@gallagherbren58 He is an exceptionally talented young player, just gets bad press from some quarters.
English
Yep, v good game from him. He'll get little credit but it won't surprise anybody who has watched him for 2 or 3 seasons. He's bloody good at the grunt/basics, the confusion comes when coaches ask him to stand off and be a 3rd centre/strike runner
Getting balance right is key

🐐 Pollock was everywhere on the weekend. Superb on the ground, attack and in D. The fact that two of these clips are dragging England captain Itoje behind him, and bumping off a big shot from former England captain Farrell is especially impressive.
