Dunny gets a 3-week ban! Bristol has ruled him out for Leicester and the Prem semi-final. It seems sometimes a player's reaction on the pitch doesn't quite match their statement in the hearing. #MilkedIt

@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

🌹 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?"

@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…

@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

@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.

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!

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…

The card today is almost immaterial - that could be a fractured cheekbone for BJvR. Which given the Bears injury list will really sting

@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

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👏💪

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.

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🌹

@CrootMatt I blame @BearsBeyondGate for the lineout. Think they mentioned Oghre’s dart percentage for about last 3 pods and cursed it 😂

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!

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

@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.

@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

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
