Rugby - We need a proper Title! (temp)

What does ‘flowing’ mean? It seems to translate a lot of the time as ‘referee ignores breaches of the laws until someone scores’?

Havak, you have the unflinching support of France... these SH heretics would not recognize a game of Rugby even if it were right in front of them.



P.S. : they have changed the "tongue" smily...

[Havak]

Havak is doing his best to show us that the English can get as drunk as the Irish... but as he is only posting at work we are only benefiting from his hangover time.

We are actually very similar races in a number of ways. Few nations match the passion of the folks on the British Isles for alcohol.

They might recognise it – they just wouldn’t like like it much. All that messy competing for the ball.

I now have my flight and hotel booked for Paris – result! Now I need to secure match tickets…

We the French are cartesians, we prefer to secure the game tickets before preparing the journey.

Far too sensible for 'Nous de la nationalité anglaise'.

As for that conference in Kiwi land here are the results:

the key recommendations, which will be taken forward for further discussion and consideration at the IRB's AGM in April are:
* The development of an education programme on the technical management and protocols for the scrummage.
* The development of an education programme in relation to referee management protocols at the tackle and ruck.
* Research into the maul to include injury surveillance, management, defence, binding and obstruction.
* That there be a consultative process with coaches and players with regard to the ranking of international games, and that the referee selection panel be extended to include a national coach and an international player.
* The laws are adequate in relation to decoy-running. But for clarification, the decoy-runner must be in an onside position. If he runs in front of the ball-carrier before the pass is made, he is off-side and liable to penalty (Law 11). After the ball-carrier has passed the ball, the decoy-runner must not obstruct opposition players (Law 10.1 Obstruction and Law 11 Off-side).


So where is the mention of reviewing points for scores? And that last bullet point will totally mess up the current Aussie/NZ style of back play - it mentions a need to be onside as the ball is passed. Sacrilege!!!

I am sure you can...

This is a great day for Rugby...

All it lacked from being a perfect conference was Clive apologising to Eddie for being a bad winner really.

I do have some contacts chasing tickets for me - but even if i have to watch it in a bar full of screaming Frenchmen what the hell - it beats being in Leicester!

One thing at a time... be patient little beetle.

I suppose that "Les Obus" is still the place to go...

Well, Dermott does sit and growl mightily at the computer screen every time I access one of our threads. I assumed he was just expressing an opinion on yet another Tamerlin post. Maybe it's been your, um, puss, after all. Certainly, the cat next door drives Dermott loopy. Well, loopier. The cat has no fear of anything that walks the earth. He sits on the other side of the see-through fence and taunts Dermott to the point of apoplexy. Forty two kilograms of enraged grey and white hair bouncing up and down on the one spot is a sight to see, I can assure you.

That would make a great avatar.

[Caligastia]

I still can't decide on a thread name...maybe we should just count up in roman numerals or something...?

[finbar]

Okay, if you really want to befuddle and bemuse those who trawl the OT forum looking for interesting thread titles, try this one:

Rugby - The Claytons Thread Title

You should, of course, from your days in the real world, before you moved to where you are, recall the drink called Claytons. Marketed as "the drink you're having when you're not having a drink", which led to the birth of the expression "a Claytons [insert word or words of choice]", meaning something that only appeared to be what it was meant to be.

Thus we would have a thread title that only appeared to be a thread title.

Rather conceptual but I like it...




Finbar, no reaction about the movie I mentionned yesterday: "Lost in Translation" from Sofia Coppola?




flipside, I am sorry but I don't know the movie or serie you are talking about, may be the name of the French version, if there is one at all, is very different...

[finbar]

So who was the crooked WRC ref?

[Tamerlin]

Other title idea:

Rugby - Six Nations Tournament: five against one

The problem is that the list of potential candidates is very long... be it because of their incompetence.

Why not some existentialism as a refreshing change from Havak's endless mindless waffle?

Sorry, I didn't notice the reference to it amongst all the other drivel you were posting.

Haven't seen it. Mrs finbar saw it the other week and liked it a lot.

One film I did happen to catch on cable a couple of weeks ago was "State and Main". Written and directed by David Mammet - wonderful writer of such things as "Glengarry Glen Ross" - "State and Main" is a very funny story about a Hollywood film outfit arriving in a small New England town to shoot their film. Apart from being very funny, it's also astonishingly accurate in its portrait of filmmakers, writers and actors. I think it was released about 3 years ago. Well worth a look.
