They were lucky not to be on a 40+ hammetting-only the Ospreys profligacy prevented this..
A British Lions Front Row, the 2013 Lions captain in Roger’s Gimp and another 2013 Lion in the backline. A total of 3 Wales captains in that lot too.
So that’s 1/3 of the Lose team were Lions including half their pack and the entire front row.
How on earth do Cardiff keep doing so badly with these sorts of players on their books.
Lets see if the Ospreys ‘rebuilding season’ continues like this.
So nice to see the new coaching set-up making such a dramatic difference for Loos.
]]>So … it didn’t change any results but I have to indulge in a little bit of ref bashing. The Pro 12 risks descent into farce unless it gets a grip. On Fri night we had Munster and Scarlets reffed by an inexperienced Italian who’s grasp on the rules was extremely tenuous. He didn’t understand scrum binding, back feet, gate entry, etc. He would have been the worst of the weekend if it wasn’t for Hodges yesterday who has managed to change the way rugby will now be played – if you’re about to get tackled just throw the ball up – perhaps for a kick, perhaps to catch it again yourself – if you then get tackled you get a penalty as you don’t have ball. It’ll revolutionise attacking play.
