know am late to the party on this but just saw tackle Hartley knocked himself out with

insanely poor (and arguably illegal) technique and from a guy with a history of concussion problems

Absolutely right Simon. Led with his head below the knee. Arms might have wrapped after impact but certainly not on contact.

Lydiate at least used to lead with the shoulder

Sometimes... I have to say I thought that Hartley was unlucky rather than intentionally illegal. Lydiate on the other hand has made a career of being occasionally legal. Surprised to see him blown up this year against us.

[simonokeeffe]

interestingly Lydiate seems to have abandoned the scrumcap, and has been pinged regularly this season, which led to him saying hes going to have to change his technique

Stuart Hogg wins/voted player of the tournament

IMO should have been Billy Vunipola but think there was an element of ganging up on the English guy in the vote, not that Im adverse to that

sure most England fans in Twickenham own a caravan

COS has told the press Marler will plead guilty to any World Rugby charge but Marler was called a posh English c word and nobody is in trouble over that, which is pretty lame if you ask me

[olaf the fat]

is calling Marler a 'Posh English C...' an insult or compliment?

statement of fact for the most part

Marler gets a two match ban and £20,000 fine

according to Wales Online WRFU are doing a presser soon on Gatlands law with Charteris and North expected to be deemed captured by it and join Faletau, Priestland, Roberts, Francis, Day, and emmm Mike Philips for the pool of wildcard picks

3 wildcards for next season, goes down to two the following season I think
