Rugby, Cricket and a little bit of Literature. @RHCLions (previously @marchmontcc and @EdUniCricket)

@T2Rugby Disappointing to see that the plan is for midweek games to be against provincial sides. Always thought that would be a great way to get more games for tier 2 teams

[Caleb Whitefoord @CalebWhitefoord]

@ARugbyReferee @RugbyInsideLine I would love to see fules brought in to make tier 1 teams play away in tier 2 countries in the autumn/summer tours

[Caleb Whitefoord @CalebWhitefoord]

@ARugbyReferee @RugbyInsideLine I totally get that and do feel for them too - but I think it’s dangerous to tamper with the six nations as it is such a great product

[Caleb Whitefoord @CalebWhitefoord]

@ARugbyReferee @RugbyInsideLine In my opinion what makes the six nations special isn’t that it is the best 6 teams - it is the rivalries and the history. The game would be poorer if we lost any of the classic matchups - even if only for a year

@gparr246 @Yas_Wisden This is great and I watch a lot of games like that but you probably have to be looking for them to find these. I think a FTA game would be beneficial as it might help spread the word a bit

@timoconnorbl I would love to see Pogacar go for the full house of 3 GTs, 5 Monuments, World Champs and Olympics - would be an unparalleled achievement

[Arnie Sathiy @arniesathiyRHC]

@MullDyer @RHCLions My brain cell was too focused on cricket tbh

[Caleb Whitefoord @CalebWhitefoord]

@ScotRugbyNews Similar but I would get them into the URC rather than the Premiership

[Caleb Whitefoord @CalebWhitefoord]

@springfuzz That the best show tv follows it is just a bonus

[Caleb Whitefoord @CalebWhitefoord]

@MullDyer @cricket_badger I’m happy to rail against the establishment for as long as it takes

[Caleb Whitefoord @CalebWhitefoord]

@MullDyer @cricket_badger To be fair I don’t like watching drag-ons off half trackers either.

Actually this is exactly my point - haven’t got a major issue with the mankader in this case (different when I think it’s a case of not being able to win any other way) - but I would like the law changed

[Caleb Whitefoord @CalebWhitefoord]

@MullDyer @cricket_badger Just because it’s been in the laws for most of history doesn’t make it right or legitimate.

There is no joy at seeing a mankad - it’s deeply unsatisfactory and there is no need for that

[Caleb Whitefoord @CalebWhitefoord]

@MullDyer @cricket_badger Exception that proves the rule maybe

Hit wicket is a result of the ball bowled so obviously fine.

Obstructing the field is generally reserved for obvious cheating - I would not feel massively comfortable taking it for somebody who unintentionally ended up in the wrong place

[Caleb Whitefoord @CalebWhitefoord]

@MullDyer @cricket_badger Just get them out normally. Mankads never happen when teams are winning. It’s just desperation

[Caleb Whitefoord @CalebWhitefoord]

Really exciting initiative from the Edinburgh Cricket Academy; led by @GeorgeMunsey and other @RHCLions members. I would massively recommend getting involved.

@KalShadaar @SquidgeRugby Days like today surely help a sport become semi-established?

[Caleb Whitefoord @CalebWhitefoord]

@KalShadaar @SquidgeRugby Actually it’s more because I’d like to see more of the smaller teams play on the bigger stage that a WC provides.

Expansion would be in the long term interests of the sport as it should give better exposure and opportunity to ambitious and improving nations
