Et pour les écossais… Ils ont mis quel drapeau pour Paddy Jackson?

Il y a beaucoup qui reçoit des bourses pour ces écoles (voir le nombre de gallois dans les écoles anglais en premier et terminale). Cela est aussi en train de changer pour les filles. Les installations et soutien pour le sport dans les écoles privées sont incroyables.

We are responsible for a lot but he was not born on our shores!!!!

At least he is consistent?!

Added to which Scotland are highly unlikely to EVER host an Olympics; personally I thought it was a clever gamble by the FFR and ST.

Mainly as they would not assume that such a tour would be a walk-over for the Wallaroos in the way that I suspect the NZRU did for the Black Ferns.

Unfortunately Rugby Aus won’t be panicked into a rear-guarded action after a disastrous tour to France and England in the way that NZRU was in 2021 leading to the 2022 kitchen-sink throwing which just about avoided a home disaster.

FFS! Just as we all hoped that England winning would be a good argument in favour of funding your women’s team above subsistence level (albeit not by as much as one, see me, might like)!

Can only do that v unions that allow their players to play elsewhere without prior approval (ie not England, France, Ireland, NZ). Maybe not restraint of trade but an action for unfair targeting v unions (eg Scotland, Australia, Italy) which have no restrictions on playing in non-domestic leagues.

Also that in English football more generally national pride is second to club affiliation?!

Mais la LNR veut regarder si il y a pas de “creative accounting” comme on dit en anglais. Les footballeurs anglais ont essayé de payer moins de IR avec les contrats pour le droit de leur image conclu (de leur part) par les sociétés basés en Isle de Man (un paradis fiscal)…..

Great article; it is a polémique which is in danger of becoming polarising with the heavy handed suspension before even asking his PdV!!

Il n’est pas au courant du cas de Tom Brady qui n’a pas était aussi bien payer que ces prestations valait; il a accepté une salaire moins élevée qu’un top QB mais a reçu le droit de commercialiser son image en même temps….

Penblwydd Hapus @edjenx.bsky.social. Maturing is overrated IMHO!

Does the WRU have competition for most loathed/incompetent/brain dead administrators ?!?!

Rebecca Flanagan @becsf.bsky.social · Sep 24

The only question is how long will it remain an insurable risk (or at least at a sensible cost)?!

Rebecca Flanagan @becsf.bsky.social · Sep 24

Enjoyed the episode; one small comment is that the Top14 games were postponed so as to not clash with the RWC semi. They would have done the same had France made the final but only one game will need to move for the 3/4 play off.

Elles ont failli le faire en WXV l’année dernière?!🤷‍♀️

Bigot must be injured she was a super sub v Ireland; she would also be a great experienced level head at the end of the game so any other reason would be baffling!! I have to say that as an England fan I am not sorry though!

Can’t underestimate the advantage of having a fluent English speaker as captain for interactions with the ref as well IMHO. Suspect Tania Feleu will start in the back row so can provide assistance.

That is my understanding as well. The host broadcaster is World Rugby and everyone gets their images from them.

Rebecca Flanagan @becsf.bsky.social · Sep 16

Merci; je suis d’accord. Il y a plein sur les réseaux (je dois accorder que ce n’est pas le cas sur BlueSky) qui ont du mal à comprendre comment la sanction pour mordre quelqu’un est plus élever que celle d’un plaquage dangereux……

We all do it. Occasionally you find yourself talking along with it absent mindedly which (in my case) renders one’s cheek a leeeetle pink!😳😳

On avait tous les deux tort. Toujours mid-level mais réduction de 50% donc appel réussi!
