Six nations is just over a week away, let's see how much hype I can post!

Testing isn't the greatest watch even with video. Just a timing sheet is rough, even with entertaining amateurs

Here's autosport's live blog which is also worth leaving open

And what does Garak say about you?

So not the FBI. All sensible stuff really. Could have avoided all these headlines by extending the NCA really

Oh dear. Not looking good for them already

 

Some clarity for Welsh fans at least here. Better now than the eve of the 6n again!

Seems really heavy for what should be a few curl and jq pipe calls in bash with a crontab. But I'm yet to try myself yet, so what do I know?

As a mod with recurring threads also to make. I should create a script to do so, as it is a bit of a chore and I have forgotten plenty

For prospective mods? How much time does it take you currently?

I missed it, worth avoiding the scoreline and watching on the sly tomorrow during work?

 

Loads of Champions and Challenge cup for us this weekend. Here's the Champions cup fixtures

Friday 16th

8pm Bath vs Edinburgh
8pm Pau vs Bulls

Saturday 17th

13:00 Sharks vs Clermont
15:15 Bayonne v Leinster
15:15 Stormers vs Leicester
17:30 Toulouse vs Sale
17:30 Munster vs Castres
20:00 Gloucester vs Toulon

Sunday 18th

13:00 Bristol vs Bordeaux
15:15 La Rochele vs Harlequins
15:15 Northampton vs Scarlets
17:30 Glasgow vs Saracens

I think Edinburgh should be great tonight, Toulouse tomorrow, and Glasgow Sunday all my highlights this weekend. Should be fun! Lots to play for with home advantages worth a huge amount in this competition. Seeding the top two could see an extra 3 home matches to add to the coffers!

As always, predictions, reactions, and shit-posts all appreciated

 

Some great rugby this weekend. Both Scottish sides getting a win was great for me to see!

 

Great read here about Stephen Jones of The Times. Not a paper I read, but he has been huge in Rugby Union journalism for decades. And a little bit about the recent game troubles. Expect impact benches and kicking to dominate the upcoming six nations

 

Great rugby to be watched, look out for this weekend's matches and....

Happy New Year!

 

Good to see I say, Wales' cash can then go to paying the youngsters it badly needs

 

More Champions and Challenge cup action this weekend, with all the rugby you can watch. And local rugby on too. So, what are we watching, what are we predicting, and what are we happy to hear about this weekend?

 

Pau vs Northampton was great to watch yesterday whilst peeling tatties

 

The Champions and Challenge Cup both kick off tonight, with so much cross country rugby, it's going to be a hoot!

The Champions Cup has 4 pools this year, the Challenge 3. And it is a weird pool stage, then round of 16 knock out for Champions cup, with 5th placed teams going to the Challenge cup, 6th being eliminated. And the Challenge Cup a similar format, but with 1 pool being added essentially. Anyway!

Let the rugby begin, my picks of the weekend to watch are Sale vs Glasgow tonight, Bath v Munster tomorrow, and Gloucester vs Castres Sunday.

As always: predictions, reactions and shitposts appreciated, and enjoy your rugby!

 

Wales vs SA at 1510 UTC today, and loads of URC and some English Prem this weekend too. Hard to see Wales getting much out of this match, so what are we all looking forward to instead?

As always, predictions and reactions more than appreciated, have a great rugby weekend!
