According to the laws, a full red card should be awarded for ‘deliberate and dangerous acts of foul play’ - so not just out and out thuggery. Two South Africans received full reds last autumn for similar. If I were really cynical, I’d suggest Jones and Monye are being deliberately provocative …

Ugo Monye said on the RUW podcast today "Hollie Davidson got it wrong [on the Neti red card last week]. It's not a discussion, it's just a fact, she was wrong". Their point was that permanent red cards are supposed to be for out and out thuggery & this should've been a 20-min red. Not sure I agree.

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

She's literally too scared to come to Swansea and yet they claim they're the people with the minerals and the conviction to go through with this?

Some very sad news The FFR announce the death of 17-year-old, Clea, following an "accident" as she featured for Union du Bassin Marmandais against Agen on Saturday

Imagine the meltdown in the press if that was the case.

I cannot for one moment imagine its true. However, it’s been suggested by an insider that Newcastle Red Bulls ultimate aim isn’t the Prem, but rather the URC. They intend to seek a move away from what they consider to be the ‘closed shop’ of the Prem, to a more globally focused alternative.

Hugely disgusted and disappointed with Vittorio Angelone. Not only did he make a cruel and unfunny rape joke about someone actively in the middle of a rape trial, he was so proud of it that he posted it to his own Instagram page

Hate listened to Rugby Union weekly. Sure sounded like they were trying to defend the Neti hit and suggest it was only a 20 min red. Quite a take

Noel is a better human than me. Fair play to stay composed in whatever the fuck this is.

come for Noel McNamara’s analysis and insights, stay for him desperately trying to stay professionally stone faced when presented with Will Greenwood in a… liquid mood.

Gotta hand it to our Staffa pals, they may hate Hollie during the URC season but they'll defend her to the hilt against an English side 😂

Newcastle and Scarlets game so terrible I've had to turn it off. Congrats to Scarlets on what should be a convincing win Jake Dalziel has been fine when he's had the ball. Passing and kicking fine. Shame he's surrounded by clowns.

Hook it into my veins!
