Huge hit, albeit one an inch away from a red card. Ref doesn't care at all about the Castres loosehead standing up at every scrum

No. I heard Carney's excuse clearly. If you launch yourself with your arms like Tom Daley, then whether you almost miraculously reached the ball thereafter is irrelevant. The Law is clear

It is not an intentional knock-on if, in the act of trying to catch the ball, the player knocks on provided that there was a reasonable expectation that the player could gain possession.

Otherwise players could simply throw the ball fwds a la gridiron and recover it. The Fre commentary team covered this clearly.

Carney's basis of argument was that 2 arms were used and not 1 was irrelevant to the Law.

Utter bollox. Larregain and Laveau are both under 25 so you'd need some serious fiddling to get the average up to 35.

{EDIT} Just checked and Kockott and Udrapilleta are both 35 but no-one exceeds that age.

I'm talking in that situation i.e. where the "intercept" prevents a try. The closest I can recall was a few years back when Willemse's tackle prevented a try in the 6N but that was nothing like this.

I thought it'd be unlikely. Knew that a couple were up there, but wiki also doesn't have full bios on all the backs.

It shouldn't surprise me, though, as Dallaglio's such a poor commentator that he couldn't even make the tone of his voice sound sarcastic. Came across as stating a fact.

It's irrelevant though - we do spread our players more thinly. Yes, we have more players than Ireland, but it's not 13 top quality teams worth.

Would you expect a smaller playing pool to produce the same number of good players as a pool three or four times the size? Ireland’s player pathways are better organised and developed, so they produce more good players from smaller playing numbers. It’s not to do with concentrating talent, it’s that they produce proportionately more.

Posted: **Sun Dec 12, 2021 7:14 pm**

Surprised he pinged that, given they sealed off several times earlier. Still, I'll take it. Musk hits his man at the lineout, Quins win while playing pretty poorly.

Posted: **Sun Dec 12, 2021 7:16 pm**

There’s no doubt Ireland got marginal gains from having a concentration of experienced internationals. AWJ in Wales another example of what hundreds of caps can do even to a declining player with a bit about them.
The flipside is there is only so low England can stoop given the depth. Swings and roundabouts

A lot easier to organise pathways towards a collective goal with smaller nos. of centres than the reverse. The way you paint it is as if the regions are totally disconnected from development and simply pick the players like a supermarket picks veg after the farms have grown them!

Decent weekend for English clubs - the ones that lost weren't really contenders and we had 3 good away wins - a better start than we've had over the last few years.

However, with the dire warnings about the spread of the Omicron variant, I wonder how long the clubs will be able to put teams on the field.

Yeah; there are real concerns about the disruption that may happen to the competition; but look at the games that were effected. Cardiff V Toulouse; Cardiff gave a really good account of themselves. Munster & Wasps; ditto; & if not for the Red card would have been a nail bitter. Only Scarlets V Bristol was written off, & that was a great shame.

I think they should loosen up the availability rules; & maybe look to reschedule games; if both sides agree.

Everyone is happy to see crowds back inside the stadia; & everyone is suffering financially; so I don't think anyone really wants to see covid ruin the competition.

Not sure what else you should have been expecting given
a) the fixtures
b) I'd pointed out how bad the Fre clubs were generally playing
c) Fre clubs don't give a sh*t about the 2nd tier comp

The only surprises involving Eng sides were
i) Leicester winning at Bordeaux but that was always going to be a tight game and once Jalibert was out injured for Tin-Duck, it was going afford Leicester a great chance which they took with Ford running the show.
ii) A pretty strong Sarries losing to Ed.

Nah, it only really becomes important in the knock outs and even then only once you get to the semis. I was hoping Edinburgh would use the games to blood some young players, and if fact we did have a callow fly half and winger playing plus a lock who is fairly inexperienced, but otherwise it was more established heads that took to the field. Having said that we had about a dozen players on the injury list for Saturday, including five definite first XV starters and one or two more probables.

We're building a new team with a new coach and a totally different style to that which Cockerill had us playing, so things will take time to bed in, but I have to say, that was a terrific result for Edinburgh.
Beating a team of Saracens' pedigree on their own turf is not something Embra fans have been used to, far from it.

I don't understand why this would be so. Partly because I don't think it is unreasonable that the much larger pool of players in England should generate enough players of the requisite quality. The relationship may not be linear, but a larger pool of players should result in more players of a defined standard, other things being equal. Partly because I remember a time it was virtually axiomatic that the average level in the Prem was higher than in Scotland, Wales and Ireland individually or combined.

When the Celtic League was launched, it had 4 teams from each of Scotland, Wales and Ireland. It was generally accepted that the teams at the top were comparable to the top of the Prem, in the middle the English teams were stronger, and at the bottom the English teams were much stronger with the Prem teams stronger on average. There was a persuasive argument that there were teams in the Championship that were better than some of those in the Celtic League.

The Scottish teams consolidated to two, the Welsh to three and Irish stayed at 4. Ireland did consider dropping to three as the IRFU felt they lacked the resources for 4, but Connacht survived as an underfunded development side.

If the concentration of resources were the reason for Ireland's success, then Ireland would have had more success earlier, and Scotland, and especially Wales given their relative success at international level, would have seen better results.

I don't think much has changed in England, Scotland or Wales. What has changed is that Ireland has found a way to improve the quality of all its teams relative not just to the Prem, but relative to everyone else with Connacht improving just as much as Leinster, just from a lower base. I don't know how they did it, but I am envious they did.

It's largely because our larger pool of players is mostly a larger pool of amateurs. It's not a 1 to 1 translation into a directly proportionate number of top professionals (or good academy players). I don't think it's coincidental that you're talking about the launch of the Celtic league, in the early days of professionalism, where the difference between amateur and professional was much smaller. Now, the Championship is made up teams who are miles off Premiership standard, with lots of semi-pro players, and every now and then some moneybags pushes for promotion with a bunch of mercenaries only to come a cropper in the big league.

Obviously England should have more professional players in terms of pure numbers, and you'd expect more players at the top end of quality, too - but there's a lot of factors that contribute here (the season, the schedule, the catchment areas, football, etc).

I think a more interesting line of debate is a) would 4 teams worth of English players from across the 13 clubs thrive more in an Irish-style environment? and b) would consolidating the clubs lead to higher quality or just more players missing out, along with c) would it even be financially viable to do so.

But it's all spitballing anyway, the reality is we're making do with what we've got in terms of the ownership and management of the sport in this country.

Posted: **Mon Dec 13, 2021 4:04 pm**

I suppose another way of looking at is the 1XV squad of E, I, S and W are broadly competitive.

The 2nd XV’s would be similar with Scotland and Wales maybe struggling a bit

3rd XV and Scotland are ringing round Friday night to see if they can raise a team and Wales also drop off a fair bit

Scotland don’t have a 4th XV, Wales don’t either, England and Ireland probably still fairy level
