Let's get to the point ... !

My word. This is incredible. A real-life version of that scene from The Life of Brian: "Stan, you haven't got a womb! Where's the foetus going to gestate?! You going to keep it in a box?!"

[Igor The Giant @IgorGiant]

@T2Rugby @AndyGoode10 @RugbyPass and there goes the last remnants of any credibility you had left…

[Igor The Giant @IgorGiant]

@T2Rugby @AndyGoode10 @RugbyPass Sorry, but that’s absolute rubbish. Look at the Rugby Europe Conference teams and see what would be left if you removed the expats

[Igor The Giant @IgorGiant]

@AndyGoode10 @RugbyPass The rules are the rules, so this is okay.
What isn’t okay is that, for England, it’s now more important that you play in England, rather than be born in England. That by definition has to be a broken model surely

[Igor The Giant @IgorGiant]

@T2Rugby @AndyGoode10 @RugbyPass Ironically, given your title, that would be hugely damaging for lower tier international sides who still rely heavily on foreign born players

Brilliant work by Abby at @bt_uk in Warrington today. Turned a very angry customer into a very happy one. Empathy, professionalism and politeness. Time for a raise @BTGroup

@calgas21 @HawkieHawkins96 @SquidgeRugby Except there isn’t clear evidence based on the views of the TMO and the refereeing team, who had a better view than all of us.

[Igor The Giant @IgorGiant]

@Rugby_Scoop @ChampionsCup @WorldRugby Neither he, nor his medical team, removed the player for an HIA, or due to a mouthguard alert. So is this really about player welfare, or are we heading down the football route and wanting cards to influence the outcome of games?

[Igor The Giant @IgorGiant]

@jaredwright17 If these tackles were so bad why was Alfie not removed for an HIA? Why was he not removed due to a mouthguard alert? Surely a coach can’t call it out like this for competitive reasons, but seemingly isn’t bothered enough to address the player welfare side during the game?

[Igor The Giant @IgorGiant]

@calgas21 @HawkieHawkins96 @SquidgeRugby They were deemed not to be illegal or dangerous by the officiating team, nor were players removed for HIA or mouthguard alerts by neutral, or their own, medical teams. So either the whole system is broken, or there is a massive over reaction from the limited views shown on TV

[Igor The Giant @IgorGiant]

@Padraig72570717 @WolfofFPL1 @AndyGoode10 and yet still no evidence..:

[Igor The Giant @IgorGiant]

@UaeMurphy @AndyGoode10 TMO is using different feeds, not watching the TV!

[Igor The Giant @IgorGiant]

@AndyGoode10 @PremSportsTV you’ve got three weeks to find a better class of pundit, please spare us another serving of the whiny footballer drivel that @AndyGoode10 served up last weekend #DoBetter #ThisIsNotSoccer

[Igor The Giant @IgorGiant]

@Padraig72570717 @WolfofFPL1 @AndyGoode10 Wow really? Well that’s compelling evidence, I stand corrected 😵‍💫

[Igor The Giant @IgorGiant]

@HawkieHawkins96 @SquidgeRugby Sad when he seems to want a game to be decided on (undeserved) cards rather than through play on the pitch

[Igor The Giant @IgorGiant]

@Padraig72570717 @WolfofFPL1 @AndyGoode10 A “massive issue” which you apparently have no proof of though??

[Igor The Giant @IgorGiant]

@MikeBfpo @AndyGoode10 Agree. Thought the commentary was very one-eyed and Andy Goode was shouting for cards like a histrionic footballer #ThisIsNotSoccer

[Igor The Giant @IgorGiant]

@DaveDaw97539863 @Dan_J_Dan @DukeofHarlaxton @AdamJSchwarz With the emphasis on the “simple”…

[Igor The Giant @IgorGiant]

@skytv is there a time of day when I can speak to a UK support desk regarding my contract, rather than an unintelligible Indian desk who just want to hard sell broadband?
