My team, Leicester, won the Guinness Premiership today! I'm drunk and very happy after we got beaten by Wasps last year.

Question for rugby fans out there, anyone agree that it is about time that the IRB introduced an 8th front row substitute, usable when all normal substitutions have been used and a front row player has to go off? This uncontested scrum ******** is purely tactics when your scrum is getting thumped. Why challenge a competitive scrum, **** it, take your prop/hooker off and have an advantage.

God bless spell checker for drunk people Smiley: drunk

Love you all!

Grats! ONE DAY, I'll try and understand rugby. They even taught it at my school but only to boys. I think I know why.

To talk about football Smiley: grin

, Berlin did not win the Bundesliga, which means I had to deal with angry loser football fans today.

No I don't support an 8th front row substitute. It's one more step to having an 'Offensive XV' and a 'Defensive XV'.

We don't need that, or helmets, or bloody cheerleaders.

Just allow players to drink ale during the 1st 20. All it takes Smiley: nod

Well for one thing, Blood-injured players shouldnt be allowed a temporary substitute. So taking off a player and replacing him for 20 mins then bringing him back as an impact sub for the last 20 shouldnt be allowed. If you take someone off, he's off and you play with 14 men until he can come back on or he is subbed.

I still think a single front row player used solely for when there is no substitute prop or hooker available would stop this bollox. The problem you have with blood reps is the health issue, but I see what you mean about making them play on with one player down.

On a more important note, I want to know what miserable cnut marked this topic down?
