Dear Rugby Broadcasters,

There is nothing good about using this angle for live lineouts.

It's not impressive or immersive.

And it often obscures key moments.

Hope that helps.

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

The change kit rules have always been the most bafflingly rugby union thing ever, but the fact they're doing it now when there's not even a clash is infuriating

Also, at the risk of seeming fussy, it’s baffling wear a change strip at home. Just says everything about Ulster’s general lack of identity in recent years. Tune into a game at Ravenhill and see a team playing in white and it’s not Ulster is the antithesis of branding. Amateurish, at best! #ULSvBUL

Scrums; the only area of the game you get a yellow card for just being worse than your opposite number

Literal head contact on Josh; penalty

Being a young prop bested by a double WC winner; yellow card

As a craft beer fan I’m used to the high prices, but today a local pub was charging £7.50 for a can of Guinness 0.0%. 😳

I can’t wait until next week when the mighty Zebre beat Stormers and take the lineal URC heavyweight title from them. Then the following week Leinster can snatch it back from Zebre

After three games, the Ospreys are the only team to have scored points against the Stormers so far this season, despite them also facing Leinster and a backline "everyone in Europe is afraid of". We are fucking massive lads.

Absolutely so do I. There's a clear plan, the most massive clean-out coming and doubtless marquee signings.

Meantime I suspect the current crop know that and it's difficult to get anything going

I think that's smart. Beyond not sign anyone, all they could do this year was sign people who were available, i.e. not many, and hope they'd be capable enough to grab wins and build momentum.

I get regular emails as they're my local club.

Literally the last 14 players to sign, whether staying or new, are all on one year contracts

And we are now a laughing stock instead of plucky underdogs.

People will take the piss because they are punching up

Big problem for Newcastle is that they got the cash too late to compete this season but it is a very very long season and if they're this bad for the whole season then you can sense the joy will ebb away.

Remember, they have lost Blamire, Chick, and Radwan from last season.

There are young Welsh cricketers now reporting "losing by a rugby score" after heavy losses.

The ordeal with that cancelled flight fiasco to Connacht last week has clearly really taken it out of the lads. I really hope we sue the shit out of the stranded Ryanair passengers who tried to make it difficult for us to leave the flight before take off. This result is on them.

Edward Jenkins @edjenx.bsky.social · 1d

Not ideal, if we're honest.
