Bristol Bears beat Exeter Chiefs to maintain PWR play-off hopes

Still a good group that can contribute off the field for sure though, there has been good improvement (to both parts but obviously from a very low point last year) but still not quite their yet against the good sides.

Good to see Hotham back as I wonder if the intensity is getting to Preston. He’s still making good decisions but his accuracy appears to have taken a hit. Could it be he’s still adapting to the highest level? Would be good to see if Hotham can add something to the attack too, it’s still a bit lacking with Kemara working into a grove controlling the game.

Not worth the mention for someone who took Springers spot imo. I heard Springer wasn’t even in the team orginally, what was Penney thinking?

With two tries and 17 tackles, openside Carlo Tizzano was again superlative

I’m sick of my Fantasy picks being locked out when theyre not even playing. He would have been a late effort goto pick for sure in the weekend.

Great mention from the u20s, that kid’s got a great head/game on his shoulders. As do a few others.

Now, we saw a result pretty indicative on of the All Blacks season just last November in what would still be their toughest match since they got knocked out of the World Cup, but as usual, people love putting credence on 6 Nations rugby and somehow these recent French performances have gone to another level.. is this the English series build all over again?!

I’m just thinking ahead. You know Ireland is going to come into the same predicament Aus is at where that next group of youngsters waiting to come into programmes get picked off by the French, like the recent kid in Aus, unless there’s something of real value there.

I mean theres room for growth in Ireland for rugby right, or despite sharing numbers with GAA/football does it already draw the best athletes like how rugby manages in NZ (where it lost it’s ‘most popular’ tag but is still the ‘most relevant’ for aspiring athletes)?

Because from that format I see no reason why Irish clubs shouldn’t desire to play in some of these emerging 2nd/3rd level European club competitions. It just seemed like the structure was in place, to climb to the top of a 10 team division. I see they’ve near completed a double round robin worth of games, does that mean theres not much left in their season?

On January 1st, I discovered that I had fallen victim to a fraudulent international shipping investment that cost me a staggering AU$8,000,000. As the owner of a shipping company based in Australia, I had been diligently searching for ways to expand and strengthen our business. When I came across an enticing opportunity that promised high returns through international shipping ventures, it seemed like the perfect move to accelerate our growth. After what I thought was thorough research and careful consideration, I decided to invest a significant amount of money. At first, everything appeared legitimate. The shipping company seemed professional, and I was regularly updated with reports that reassured me the investment was progressing as planned. However, over time, I started noticing discrepancies. Payments were delayed, communication became sporadic, and red flags began to pop up in the details of the transactions. Something didn’t feel right, and before long, the truth hit me hard—I had been scammed. The company I had trusted was a fraudulent operation, never intending to deliver on their promises.The financial loss was devastating, but the emotional toll was even worse. Not only had I lost a large sum of money, but I also faced the daunting reality of how this would affect my business, employees, and reputation. I felt completely helpless and unsure of how to recover from such a blow.That’s when I found HACK SAVVY TECH .

This French side will not be close to that level, they will certainly pose threats as France are producing great players and depth but it’s an enormous disservice to that Irish team to compare the two.

Their tighthead produced the single worst performance of a NZ tighthead prop in at least a decade of Super Rugby. He made the very mediocre Alex Hodgeman look like he was Tony Woodcock circa 2011.

No scrum, no win, Jamie.
