Aussie lock Dan Vickerman had died aged just 37. :(

No news on what he died of, but that's awful. So young.

Just terrible :(

At Ravenhill yesterday for this




So good :datass: Pienaar gets the ball in one corner and scores in the other. So going to miss him next season :(

The IRFU letting him leave is a ridiculous decision. I know why the rules are there and the reason behind him but letting an absolute world class operator leave just to stick to the letter of your own rule is a moronic thing to do. This is clearly a case where an exception need to be made and every effort made to keep a player who contribute more than just being a body on the field come game day.

Don't even get me started on it :(

Nucifora's name up here is absolute mud after that decision (and just watch Leinster being able to keep Nacewa next season.) Made even more ridiculous after Munster were allowed to keep Taute and Saili too :evil:

I dont understand the Taute thing at all, theres definitely some loophole exploiting going on there by Munster.

Munster allowed to sign Taute after Saili injured for 4 months. Ulster not allowed to sign anyone after Coetzee is injured for 6 months.

Oh yeah, I know what happened, what I mean is I dont understand how Munster were allowed do that. Im sure by the letter of the policy its just fine but if that is the case then the policy needs to be amended as its not fit for purpose.

Decent first quarter, aside from the try I felt Scotland had the better of it.

Yeah, Scotland have looked more controlled. I'll be amazed if they don't go over for a try soon.

The tackling and the play at the breakdown so far has been brilliant.

It'll be a miracle if Scotland hold on, here. Love it if they did, though.

Scotland :wub: 2 massive wins for them this year, that's a fantastic return. And with a possible Italy win to come as well.

Think it's fair to say Howley has failed his probationary period and won't get the job when Gatland moves on.

Cant even blame Cuthbert this week.

A lot of it is because of Scotland's performance but Wales were abject

Even the stuff they usually do well was done badly
