@RosalindBull @CraigNorenbergs @SquidgeRugby @MilesHarrisonTV @SkySports I was including him. For different reasons. He just won't shut up, regardless of whether he has anything insightful to say.

@CraigNorenbergs @SquidgeRugby @MilesHarrisonTV @SkySports I don’t think anyone was including Miles in the criticism of the commentary. For what it’s worth, as a punter, I would choose Miles over any other rugby commentator every day, with Ali Ekeyn as back up.

Commentary on this game is basically Miles Harrison getting really excited about how great the game is then Goode & Dallagilo tediously complaining about innocuous refereeing decisions and it pretty neatly sums up what rugby discourse & discussion has become the last few years.

@Maraco1017 @PremSportsTV @BathRugby They aren't. They control what the TV viewers see. They changed the TMO feed a few seasons ago.

@mark_m_owen @PremSportsTV @BathRugby French tv should not be in control & is a bias to a home side

A perfectly weighted kick from Ben Spencer sets up Will Muir 🙌 @BathRugby answer back to Bordeaux Bègles with a try of their own 🛁 #InvestecChampionsCup

@Maraco1017 @PremSportsTV @BathRugby That's French TV. Not the TMO feed.

@mark_m_owen @PremSportsTV @BathRugby So why only showing replays when its a benefit to Bordeaux & not highlighting the few head contacts & possible 2 yellow cards apart from the several others. TMO non existent

@chalkydnb @jacqui_leighton @PremSportsTV @BathRugby Are the facts that the TMO only watched TV replays? Or do they in fact have multiple different feeds in the background?

@jacqui_leighton @PremSportsTV @BathRugby not at all, you guys are incredible. a joy to watch. But let’s not get away from the facts

"What a finish that is!" 😱 A spectacular finish in the corner from Will Muir for a brilliant @BathRugby try 🛁 #InvestecChampionsCup

@Maraco1017 @PremSportsTV @BathRugby Nonsense. TMO gets the pictures in the background, they don't follow the TV feed.

@PremSportsTV @BathRugby Bordeaux the better side but Refereeing & TMO an utter disgrace & making VAR look good. At that level horrendous & bias with no replays at all.

@Rdj18781 @PremSportsTV Are you absolutely sure that the TMO doesn't have an independent feed?

@PremSportsTV Pointless competition when the tmo is ignoring foul play and the French producers don’t show any replays. Joke

"We all knew he would inevitably score!" 🎙️ Louis Bielle-Biarrey finishes in the corner to get Bordeaux back in front against Bath 🟣 #InvestecChampionsCup

@PremSportsTV @BathRugby Your commentators today are a disgrace.

@NotRobSimmons @JohnBFergo He has excellent footwork just before contact, and then the timing of his drive through. See also Faletau in his prime.

@JohnBFergo He beats the first shoulder of every tackle, even if they connect. He must be made of concrete. Such an awesome player.

These Valetini stats are frightening. I remember seeing Valetini walk into two of these contacts. Wallabies will need him at his destructive best. With 7 more games to go in the regular season, it’s good to see him getting back to form now. But where to put him, 6 or 8?

@SlkVglntPma @NotThatHughes Not just AI, shit application of AI.

@NotThatHughes Missed opportunity.

You don't have to pretend to like this btw

@hazyipa85 @brendanno3 @SaintsRugby Yes. Why not? What is home advantage for?

@brendanno3 @SaintsRugby he was doing it because the French fans were abusing him during his warm-up. Funny how you guys don’t seem to care about that. Should we all just start booing kickers as well?

”Henry Pollock just needs to concentrate on his rugby.” 😉

@TimesSport @SBarnesRugby You are attributing Saracens' problems to not playing Caluori? Wow.

🏉 Why are misfiring Saracens wasting Noah Caluori’s talents at Ampthill? Teenager is still Prem's leading tryscorer, and must feature against Bath in the Champions Cup rather than be exiled to lower reaches again ✍️ @SBarnesRugby #Echobox=1774867454" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thetimes.com/sport/rugby-un…

@SamRobertsComms are you talking about the Parling incident?

Genuinely fascinated to see how Eddie Hearn’s management of Pollock works out. As this weekend showed, rugby takes itself very seriously and doesn’t tend to enjoy those who don’t. How does Pollock stepping out on red carpets play with the blazers of Market Town RFC?

@TheMagicAcad Enjoyed this chat, liked the way Aaron ended up tapping into your experience. I keep hearing about Park the Bus and how effective it can be. Where I can find a description of the game? Thanks.

🧠

@EmilyMaher11084 Isn't part of the problem simply that refs are catching up with the way that they play?

Calean Dorris continuing a long line of truly terrible Leinster captains in their dealing with officials, much like his Irish exploits. I wonder is IRE and LEI poor discipline a result of questioning every single decision instead of ownership of discipline. #LEICvLEIN

@NotThatHughes One of the endearing features of Eurovision has been the clearly political block voting of the past decade or two. I'll probably just watch Fire Saga again instead. The tunes are more Eurovision than Eurovision itself.

This statement reeks of government interference

@pratapketan Anything that drops linkedin can't be altogether bad.

@BritinLithuania @TheFP @EYnews @McKinsey Consultants don't work exclusivity in audit-level reporting though, do they? It's a tiny percentage of their fees.

I never hear such nonsense. “So chairman, we have prepared the detailed report for the audit with AI rather than using @EYnews or @McKinsey” “Wonderful how much money did we save” “Around 50,000 USD” “and who should the tax office turn to when it’s incorrect, who will take responsibility ‘OpenAI’” “No Chairman - you will go to jail” The stupidity of your headline is off the scale. It’s dim and slow of thinking. Banks need reports for third parties to loan money, think they will be happy litigating Anthropic? No. Stupid and poorly thought through. And no I am not a consultant

Bloated, overpaid, and outpaced by AI—big firms confront a future they can’t outsource.

@DraftXVRugby Is there a current link for this discord?

Update! If you want to play Draft XV but you don't have enough friends/family/colleagues to make a full league (surprisingly common!)... the guys of the Fantasy Rugby Hub discord server have kindly made us a channel where you can find more people to join your league, or find leagues to join! discord.gg/wQzMg8qw
