okay, since part 6 ended and no one set up the next chapter i'll do it...
first of all i am going to be gracious and congratulate gloucester on their challenge cup semi win against newcastle....
okay.. enough of that!!!!!
semi final 1 in the big boy cup... leinster vs scarletts....
i think this one could be a festival of running rugby.... which scares me because i think the scarletts are the better loose play side.....
still hoping for that all-ireland european cup final.... |

Been away, so missed quite a lot of rugby .
I see that despite scarlets holding back their first team from the thumping Edinburgh gave them, their first team got well and truly done by Leinster in the cup.
Was surprised by the Gloucester Newcastle score - thought Newcastle would do better than the score line suggests

"And the dream of the all Ireland European cup final has been dashed...
Bloody racing!!!!!! Lol"
Hate to say I called it. But I fucking called it.
Racing have hit form at the right time and had enough about them to do a job on Munster.
Can they beat Leinster? No. Not if Leinster play like that again. Most international teams would have lost to Leinster Saturday.
Blues v Glaws will be a good game too. |

Announcement that Peter Stringer is retiring from rugby.
“My proudest days on a rugby field came from wearing the red of Munster and the green of Ireland, and will remain with me for the rest of my life," he said.
Great player that I always enjoyed watching |

just thought i would bump this back up with the announcement of the retirement of wales and lions captain sam warburton from all forms of rugby
he was only 29... citing health and wellbeing concerns...
thought if he was going to call it a day it would have been after the world cup next year.....
wales are fortunate to have a lot of good back-rowers, but still a biggie!!!! |

"it had become clear to Warburton that he wouldn't be able to return to the high standards he has set throughout his career"
Quite sad when this happens to a sports person. |

In terms of losing him it isnt that bad, our back row selection is up there with the best in the NH, however, Warburton was way more than just a back row, he was a leader & example & in that instance will be sorely missed, however, a grand slam, captaining Wales for 49 games & 2 lions captaincies without losing a series is immense! |

Being the resident rugby nut I am going to both European rugby finals in Newcastle this weekend... why I am watching 2 french teams tonight is beyond me... lol
Anyway.. 2 questions
1) who wins the biggie tomorrow? Leinster or Saracens
2) looks like Gatland has been named lions coach for the next South Africa tour.. thoughts?
Me personally... I would have liked to have seen joe Schmidt given a chance |
