Roebuck didn’t fancy taking on Caluori in the air and defended like an U8.

No.8 would have been a great position with her breaking of the base of the scrum to run at the inside backs. Plus most teams play a back row out wide in attack. Her height in the lineout would also be useful along with jackeling. Unfortunately, that would take a couple of seasons to perfect.

Wonder what Bristols true figures are. Can’t believe that the money from Ashton Gate isn’t diverted to the football club to help them with FFP.

The best outcome is that the two partners direct people towards the other formats. BBC has the ability to crossover to entertainment programming that can introduce the sport and the players to new audiences.

I listen to Belinda Moore talk about this when she was CEO of PWR. The difficulty in getting a slot on a channel is immense. TNT already showing every Prem men’s game, to add all the PWR is not going to happen with their current schedule. BBC are not going to change their schedule either.

The younger demographic are streamers and most people can use a smart TV so they will have no issue with it. The games will be on the PWR YouTub and BBC website. The most important part is not where the game is covered, but letting people know where and when.

The best thing is it’s moved Greenwood from commentary. Never watch the pre game or halftime so I can enjoy a game without his cocaine energy.

Would it have mattered if they played the ball boy when the pack were going nowhere at best. Showed plenty of promise and will be a solid player for them in the future.

How have Sky Sports got it so right with RoG and Biggar, yet got it wrong with almost everything else 🤷♂️

I predict that Nathan Hughes will start amazingly and by the end of the season be a shadow of what he was. He is the dictionary definition of the law of diminishing returns.

His “pit walk” pre match set the tone for a cringe fest. Sky are so out of practice for rugby that they decided to go F1.

How has he made any money in business? He has the energy of a man who is incredibly difficult to work with without being a 70’s throw back. Probably doesn’t employ women because they should be at home looking after their children.

Quote “I look forward to seeing the fans when I’m back in the stands as a supporter (not shouting) of this great club.” Doesn’t sound like a move to our biggest rivals.

Problem with Barnes and a lot of pundits is that they must have to make up a lot of shit opinion to fill a contracted column. That doesn’t cover anything that Steve Jones has said or written because he’s a massive bellend.

Pat Lam’s play book is far too complicated to learn in a few international camps. If he was appointed DoR and given the power to dictate how the regions play and condition the players, then they could try it at international level. Wales has the players as Lam doesn’t play big forward packs.
