Wonder what Exeter City’s approach will be. They were also sponsored by Flybe.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Rugby has never been whiter than white, but for some reason people have always seemed to have this notion of holding it in high regard.

Much like the pointless comparisons folk make between football and rugby...two completely different games.

I know. Pisses me off when some smug git talks about ‘rugby values’. Sure there’s some stuff we could learn from them, but as often as not the followers are just rootless twits who’d starve their own grandmother if it meant they got a bigger bonus.

I’ve often thought it’s an inferiority complex thing and they pretend they’re not bothered their egg shaped ball sport isn’t the most popular...

I’ve always found it interesting that anything bad that happens in rugby is quickly buried...or is it becauee it’s barely reported because nobody apart from Roger and Sebastian whilst out shooting cares...

Even league, whilst I’m informed is more exciting, has had some severe problems...

I just wish folk wouldn’t compare the two...

Rugby is a tougher sport than football.Remember playing it at school and always hated it and much preferred playing football . I dont mind watching the rugby world cup though.

Maybe they just couldn't face this too so asked the EFL to step in and cancel the game

I always preferred playing rugby at school. I never had the ball control to play football well, but with rugby I could cheat - handball, fouling. Always used to look for the biggest sodomist on the other side and foul him, sorry ‘tackle’ him as soon when he first had the ball. Great stuff.

You was probably one of the bigger people at school and developed earlier hence able to knock people around when you use to play rugby.I was a late developer.Now I can stand my ground but back then no
