Mainly because I suspect the swarm sabotaged the last incarnation because they didn’t get theirs up first.....

I did it but as long as the Welsh thread is once again the 'Oficial Welsh Thread' I won't do it again

Indeed. Had to re-do the avatar though, as earlier today they had to be 100x100 pixels, and now for some arcane reason they have to be 90x90.

Was somehow purged overnight (along with any posts/ threads) but good to see it didn't take the thread long to be rebirthed.

Given the 24 hours between this place being created (or at least advertised on the old board) and the old PR supernova, going to be a lot of people stuck in the ether, not knowing about this board and no longer able to view the url posted in the old board. Good to see that most of this thread appears to have reemerged. :D

So that's me here, just as well i popped into PR yesterday and saw the news about the lifeboat. Reckon we will lose a few as they wont know about this place, hidden away on the web in an even smaller corner than PR.

Ah well better than nothing i suppose

Back again as well, after getting purged last night :x

Managed to get back into the PR Bored one last time to save the avatar pic. Ready to continue as if nothing has changed.

Reports this morning that there will be a tournament involving the 6N, Japan and Fiji in two groups of four at the end of this year, but there is apparently already a clash with the English Premiership final. Good to see that pro rugby will just go back to business as usual then.

All depends who we lose - there are a few from the old bored I wouldn't mind seeing the back of. Not any of our Scottish posters, hope we all made it. If there are notable absentees we might be able to contact some of them through the Glasgow or Edinburgh boards.

Reminds me how excited I was about Scotland playing Wales in the November tests.

Based on the current rankings, that would be something like an away game at Twickers and France and Japan at Murrayfield.

Thank f*ck couldn't find anyway of getting onto PR so had to just lurk for a couple of years. Glad (I think) to be able to make contact at loooong last.

My old club comes under the weegie area so put me down as a weegie supporter, but very glad to see the embuggers going well before the lockdown.

Looking forward to the 1872 double header.

We still need the likes of topofthemoongw, Dargotron, and of course the unlucky frillage here once he gets out of hospital.

but good solid start from the Scots anyway.

I don't know, I could get into this if it absolutely, definitely a one off. The worry is of course this is changing things by the back door. Would also be a shame to have something like this for Japan and Fiji but have no crowds.

So are they playing this 6N+ then a couple of months later playing the 6N proper?

I like the way the game is heading in Scotland, who knows maybe in a couple of years we can end the annual battle with Italy for the wooden spoon and be in with a realistic chance in the 6N.

Has TOTM joined up on here yet?

We've won 9 of our last 19 6Nations game, plus one draw. I was really up for the Wales game, I thought we had a better chance down there than we've had in a long time as we were gaining momentum and they looked dogshit. It had the potential to be a corner turner for the national team. But we can pick it up and do it again.

This Sydney Uni lad has always been a bit of a mystery to me, presumably SQ through parents? Sydney Uni are a decent team in the Shute Shield- which is the stage below Super here.

Since all the other lurkers seem to be outing themselves....

North east via Glasgow so I'd favour the Weegies at Christmas time. Grand total of 10 posts on PR (although naturally each one was solid gold) and I plan to continue that level of contribution here.

Think we're poised to surpass the Welsh contingent at this rate.

Still missing TOTM, Edinburgh01, Drago, Alba and Frillage, I think?
