For all his raw ability Plumtree is a penalty machine wainwright is currently starting 8 basham based on this deserves a squad run.

Yeah by some margin cardiffs best tonight seems to have added some beef to his frame looks good at 8 not exactly a position of strength for wales. Grady still flattering to deceive

Its more about the vocal volume of the folk rather than volume in numbers.

Split screening it with stormers game chalk and cheese in approach. I guess this goes a long way to explaining the International diff between SA and the sais

I understand and agree wierdly the Spanish are presented as laid back. Personally I think south west france is the most chilled place and people. The lovely folk of 🇪🇸 are louder more frenetic and it get worse the further south you go!!

Tandy will be pleased with archie griffin's game so far. Ref oddly called back the 9 because lots of (non injured) players on the floor 🤔 well thats new. Surely they should just get up not the 9s fault

Noisiest city I've ever lived in Madrid !! So yeah

Disproportionately high scoring is the nature of the game at the moment. So its difficult to compare to even 4yrs ago. Still if your an honest aus fan you can see massive improvements in last few years.

Reckon top of the proD2 would be very competitive with bottom of the urc

J Kirkpatrick @jkirkpatrick.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Size (nonsense same size as earl and savea) pace (not doing enough both sides of the ball) etc etc thats the bsht that has been thrown his way by coaches from gatland onwards.

J Kirkpatrick @jkirkpatrick.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
He rarely went into contact or beat a man mostly hoofed the ball. Looked decent though. Roberts should stick to trough diving
010
J Kirkpatrick @jkirkpatrick.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
If he'd been consistent then ok but they had a penalty for collapsing a maul and no consideration for rhodri deliberate knocking the ball on. Poor ref to be honest we have to many 2nd rate refs in the urc he missed a lot today from bith teams.

J Kirkpatrick @jkirkpatrick.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Didn't deserve the yellow though !

J Kirkpatrick @jkirkpatrick.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Carrying from 15 is always a bit difficult to judge given how much space they have. And Tom's post contact metres hardly outstanding

J Kirkpatrick @jkirkpatrick.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Out of our backs yes we still look disjointed in our backs and he was massively better at 15 than wing fussell isnt winning me over so far !! That game was won upfront so a forward should have got that (not Ross argh)

Rodgers wtaf sure was decent best game so far but MOM nope

Not sure anyone does ref probably calling it collapsing but look like going sideways at best

Well done and yup deserved that 👏

Ok then someone you know as you guys seem interchangeable on here. So sorry for assuming it was you given the relentless promotion of gwlad. Not that I disagree with much of the author or yourself very often.

J Kirkpatrick @jkirkpatrick.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
And yes I'm aware you rectify this later on in your piece. Yet you set the tone earlier, ½was thin kid when he left O's not the pocket hercules he became LRZ a case of attemoed blackmail by a stupid coach and waboso was a fk up with cardiff and the uni more concerning is the kids at eng academies.

J Kirkpatrick @jkirkpatrick.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Nice of you to note the ospreys link with halfpenny. Shame you couldn't make same link with cardiff waboso and zammit. For a person who harps on about accuracy and detail from the union wkers. You may want to show a little less bias yourself

J Kirkpatrick @jkirkpatrick.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
That does sound odd 🤔 from a defensive point of view it's literally pointless ah well best of luck !!

Im no expert but you do see ditches and double ditches around that style when built on open ground.

Fingers crossed hope we show more cohesion than we've done so far !!

J Kirkpatrick @jkirkpatrick.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
Will be a tough game drags tails are up and they look settled. Not so sure you can say same for the ospreys!!

It's been an interesting start to the season for the Ospreys out in SA. My piece below for @talkrugbyunion.bsky.social ahead of their trip to Newport this weekend, which has never been a happy hunting ground. Any shares would be appreciated! www.talkingrugbyunion.co.uk/can-the-ospr...

Succinct and accurate, morris and morse need carriers around them if we insist on playing them at 8. Moriarty at 8 maybe with morse an option at 7 like to see rhys Davies used as carrying option more often. Both games looked like a squad rotation in a prestigious season. TH for 3seasons been issue

And grammar schools have the same effect. Basically for families that can afford extra tuition but not annual fees.
