Not sure if anyone watched the match, but there was an incident (tweet of highlight here.. https://twitter.com/piedmonds/status/1236034407909257217?s=21 ) with a Welsh player tackle in the air which I thought was a nailed on RC, but after review the ref gave a YC. Am I watching with ‘red...

Did anyone see the Stormers vs Highlanders game- both teams in virtually indistinguishable blue. How did that get allowed to happen?

Have just seen this ‘fend’ in the semi final between Pontypool and Merthyr . Any thoughts? https://twitter.com/bbcscrumv/status/1114578563477331970?s=21 Initially I’ll admit I missed it and followed the ball, then on the first replay thought it was yellow. Red still seems harsh but after...

http://bbc.in/2bN81np Is this a can of worms about to be opened, or is it unique enough to be a one off event?

Cian Healy: Leinster prop's citing hearing to take place on Thursday http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/35201170 Have just read this story - apparently the complaint is that he was disciplined for an offence different to that which he was cited for.....did that not happen Several times in...

Thought it was borderline myself but not unhappy with it being allowed- I'm sure some of those who oppose the momentum rule won't be happy, anyone else have a strong view on it?

Thought it looked a little harsh myself, but never trust my first impressions when it's Wales playing. Any thoughts?

Europol (the European Police investigation unit) have just produced a report which says that they have evidence that widespread match fixing has occurred in European Football (soccer), at the highest level (it's been hard to miss if your in the UK, not sure about the rest of the world?) Their...

If anyone fancies, there's a cracking Fantasy six nations on espnscrum.com. I've set up a private league if anyone fancies joining (you can join more than one league if you want). the leagues called Friendly Banter (which it probably won't be) and the PIN to enter is 27572. You need to...

Have I been living in a cave? I heard this on the Radio headlines last night and thought I'd misheard. Perhaps my usual news channels are just clogged up with this usless Euro's rubbish. Anyone know any more - is it genuine, just idle threats to get what they want or is it sour grapes and...

Is my following assertion correct? If time elapses, and a try is scored, the referee should allow time for the conversion to be taken. However, if the conversion kick is unsuccesful, and does not go dead (ie bounces of a post and an opposition player catches it), play should not continue and no...

Sorry if this debate has already been had, but on reading trough the Law's online and trying to familiarise myself with some of the clarifications, I came across this: For the sake of improving consistency of ruling from referees worldwide, in the following scenarios, has a knock-on occurred...

I wonder if I have been under a misconception for a while. Watching the Ospreys-Munster SF on Friday I noticed the following happening, its quite complicated so sorry if this doesn't make sense. Munster 8 carries ball and dummies an offload to the inside but keeps hold of the ball, is tackled...
