It is nice though… they are taking the high tackle law far too far this season!

Absolutely agree but whatever the interpretation is, it needs to be the same world wide.

If not it will create havoc come the international window.

Lima Sopoaga misses a shot at goal for the Landers.

@ Scrumdown:

France are one of those odd teams – very erratic. Im not overly concerned though. Think a good win for the green team is on the cards.

@ 40: Morning bossman! Trust you and your new(ish) lady are doing well?

Scrumdown on 24 February 2017 at 9:17 am

The big question on my mind is whether the Kings, Sunwolves and Jaguares will be more than contact practice for the other teams this year?
49

Scrumdown on 24 February 2017 at 9:17 am

Chiefs really not looking after the pill.

Another Landers 5m penalty, No 1 taking Landers player off the ball.
54

Scrumdown on 24 February 2017 at 9:22 am

Landers playing domkop Rugby imo.

By far the better side but some decision making questionable.
