Got something to discuss about RL in general? Then this is the place to post it.

Of course they didn’t they don’t give a shiny suit of armour about those places,the rah fans have to have their game even it’s clearly being run by morons handing out stupid amount of money to beer bellied porkers who if they chose to come and play the man’s game for a fecking satsuma and a ginger nut they’d crap themselves.

The clueless bozos in charge of union got themselves into this mess and bloody well should get themselves out of it.

It sucks but it's par for the course. I watch the union highlights (a whole game is a tough watch, even a 'good' one), mostly to see some spark of talent, and there always is some: Marcus Smith obviously, the scrum-half Mitchell, the Arundel lad looks promising... But the nature of the rules, the frequent stoppages of play, it makes for a poor deal for spectators. How they pack them for big games is quite amazing, really.

Agent Rimmer?
Secret Agent!! On whose side? (One for you Bond Fans)

Seriously, he did damage to RL, is this his payoff? Or our revenge on RU?
