@BathBytes “I apologise for rolling around like a Fanny and making out I was mortally wounded.”

@Beomhe4qxy @RugbyInsideLine Have you heard of mutually exclusive? It’s possible for BJVR to be in an England (training) squad and both MO (just back from injury) and OL not to be and nobody is saying anyone is better. It’s a training squad
English
@RugbyInsideLine What a joke. Lawrence abd Ojomoh are way better.
English
🌹 Well this is awkward...
Van Rensburg previously told the Maul or Nothing podcast that it "means so much more" playing for your own country.
He said his kids would question if he played for England.
"They going to look at me like why did you do that?"
English
@BearsBeyondGate awkward timing to send out season ticket renewal emails after the last two results and no news on signings, contract renewals or much else positive in the lead up…
English
@WHOldun1 @funkyhousernb @BearsBeyondGate I thought he might have been on maul or nothing pod. The clip I saw was either old or there was v little fs given which is what you’d expect from him

🚨 New pod alert 🚨
"Worse than a shellacking or lower than a nadir?

🤷♂️ No place a the top table?
🛀 Potential redemption at AG?
👊 PWR returns on the 30th
🐻 Cubs finally get a mention

@CrootMatt It’s proper madness the level of anger the training squad call is getting

Been AFK for couple of days but just read this & all I can say Oliver is bit of a🤡ain't he(not first first time I may add🤦)& still can't believe he gets paid to right such💩for a living😂
Can agree or disagree with redundancy or ancestry reg, but I can name bloody long list of

Here’s your short sharp summary @BearsBeyondGate …..
Tigers - didn’t choke
Chiefs - didn’t choke
Bears - choked
English
@eddthompson33 OK. Yes different.. but also similar. Only one decision tree for head contact. In both cases the player had time to do better. Clear sight. No mitigation. Contact was made etc etc.
English
@radio_sheri Yup, remember you saying, mate. Will get my head around it one day.
English
Champions Cup final referee appointment. Will just leave it there.
English
@CrootMatt @BristolBears We saw him in the hotel after the game after hospital and hazy recollection was scan was clear. Looked pretty sore though
English
Said when he was sat on @BristolBears bench when came off it looked broken, but if we find out start of week that his hospital trip post game there was a fracture then you imagine that's BJVR out for 4-6wks & not what we need in slightest!
Got🤞it ain't that bad a outcome tbh!
John Evely@JohnEvely_BPost
Bristol Bears have a real power and size problem after their latest series of devastating injury blows which has been added to today bristolpost.co.uk/sport/rugby/ru…
English
The card today is almost immaterial - that could be a fractured cheekbone for BJvR. Which given the Bears injury list will really sting
English
@CrootMatt @WelshRugbyUnion Was awesome to see that heart. They’re a decision or two away from a complete momentum shift and it’ll be great for 6N and rugby generally
English
Not saying for @WelshRugbyUnion fans it's a case of ship steadied & horizon bright, but one thing I will say as neutral set of👀(& fav phrase of mine)one thing that should give optimism is in last couple of games they've found their minerals & looking to take it on as a unit👏💪
English
As the Master of the Rolls repeatedly expresses incredulity that the Law Society thinks that its members could support this position, this post seems to be ageing rather better than most of my attempts!
Ben Williams@FaringForwards
I wonder if the Law Society canvassed its members before putting in a 36 page skeleton arguing Mazur was correctly decided? I'd have thought there will be a serious risk of pitchforks on Chancery Lane when its members find out.
English
Bit AFK at moment but had to pop on just to say, we sucked last week, but this is new lvl low bar💩
Irish did very little special today to make us look like a tier 2 nation!, players not at the races, coaching box panic, poor selection & tbh just amateur hour of a weekend from🌹
English
@CrootMatt I blame @BearsBeyondGate for the lineout. Think they mentioned Oghre’s dart percentage for about last 3 pods and cursed it 😂
English
Physically we were more than there!, scrum💪& we threw some solid shapes, but the errors in first 40 cost us dearly, lineout got pilfered far to often & just step to far in last 10
We move on to R16 which is great & Chiefs incoming pre 6N break which will be fruity!
C'mon Bris!
English
Where to start with that one!
No shame imo for @BristolBears to lose to UBB as I'm🔝14 watcher & that's a classy side let alone defending champs, but for me that's a day of what could of been & pretty sure not just the loss will sting the lads but the manner of which it unfolded
English
@BearsBeyondGate @Hammy_79 @BristolBears Bjvr tap for the moment of the game. Incredible performance
English
@Hammy_79 @BristolBears How good is that lad??... omg
English
Well.... that's the Bristol Bears rollercoaster right there..... what a first half performance!!!
Watching the second half between your fingers @BristolBears @BearsBeyondGate supporters ? 😂
English
Massive tap tackle rim BJVR right there or bulls lad was strolling in!
English
@CrootMatt Hope you didn’t turn over before we pickpocketed them again!
English
@ajsrugby @18stephenm I’m not sure that is right. You can’t legally jackal a ball while you have a player on the wrong side preventing the attacking team from clearing out the jackaller. Thats what M-W gets pinged for.
English
@18stephenm My argument is that Dugdale legally jackals the ball, he doesn't reward him because he's pinged RMW for not rolling away (despite the fact he's stood next to him)
Curry doesn't need to come in if Dugdale is correctly rewarded
English
Fair enough for Charles to not criticise referees individually.
But I will, this absolutely amateur and horribly wrong. Things like this cost DoRs, coaches etc their jobs. Ultimately could cost clubs money.
He's made up a situation that didn't occur.
Charles Richardson@CharlesRTel
Not criticising the referee individually because I’ve said many times how rugby long ago LOST THE PLOT with not-rolling-away/holding-on penalties but this was a classic of the genre in Bristol last night. It should not be a penalty; and absolutely never a yellow for Ma’asi-White
