Why not throw off the shackles of work and escape to the rugby pitch for an afternoon of Tag Rugby.

The Annual Ulster Rugby Mixed Social Tag Corporate Afternoon takes place on Friday 25th September at the CI Sports and Social Club, Circular Road, Belfast.

From team building to networking, the Mixed Social Tag Corporate Afternoon is now fast becoming one of the most anticipated dates in the diary.

It all kicks-off at 2pm and it is followed by pizza and prizegiving in the CI clubhouse, and the day will also be supporting the Ulster Rugby Foundation.

With the new club season just around the corner, here's a timely reminder that all players (youth, mini and adult) and coaches should register/renew their membership on Rugby Connect ahead of the new season as soon as possible.

A simple message for anyone interested in refereeing. Why not give it a go? The most common line from those that have given it a go is "I wish I had started refereeing earlier". Give me a shout - even if the date doesn't suit you.

@marshyleeds Refresh, Refresh, Refresh

@iGerLynch Equal parts useful and confusing I'm sure! Much appreciated 👍

[Barry Willis @bazballs]

@ConorMcGilligxn We can be guilty of overthinking! As someone else said - all in, it's no more of a gamble than a £20m pound player in £50/60k in PSR/SCR. That quality isn't usually available.

If it doesn't work out, a Serie A/bundesliga club will take a swing in a few years to bail us out.

@KylePagan_ It’s not just a question of athletics, it’s a question of culture and play. Kids in Brazil, France, Germany, Spain, Argentina, England grow up with a ball at their feet. They learn to kick and move as they learn to walk and talk.

So, most likely it would take a generation.

@Mavs_FFL @YossiGozlan Plus, the opportunity to get De Larrea. Also managed to avoid ADs max extension, which might be the biggest positive!

[Barry Willis @bazballs]

@_LaurenGunn @FlaggMavs I love how positive you are. I agree and am quite excited by Sasser. No guarantee and not the finished article, but has been a young, rotation value player for the last few years in a limited role - it'll be interesting to see what he can do in a bigger role.

Norway just made the round of 16. They dominate winter sports.

This is their youth sports:
-Everyone gets a trophy.
-No keeping score until 11.
-No national championships until 13.
-Motto: "Joy of Sport for All."

They let kids be kids and it works: https://t.co/CDa7fCpfVv

@ConorMcGilligxn It all depends. If they bag Wilson and Brandt for nothing then it softens the blow of £30m for a keeper.

[Barry Willis @bazballs]

@ConorMcGilligxn Are these done?

[Barry Willis @bazballs]

@MavsHighlights @Based1American Is Philon supposed to be in the list of guards?

[Barry Willis @bazballs]

@MavsTPSReport @ryanhammer09 Out of interest, what is it that puts you off putting him top 10?

[Barry Willis @bazballs]

@marshyleeds @JamesPearson25 Shea also has 35 senior int caps

[Barry Willis @bazballs]

@MavsHighlights @triplethreadNBA 100% on board with this thinking.
Out of curiosity, which would you be more excited about?

Option A - One of Flemings, Wagler or Burries

or

Option B - Two of Morez, Hannes, Carr, Swain (Lendenborg) & Philon, Stirtz, Okorie, Anderson, Carr

@CBAMavs Ways to use the TPE & MLE

Ways of maxing Cap space
(Would any of the other tms with a TPE (Atlanta, Celts, Bulls, NO etc) b interested in using it on Gaff, PJ or Naji/Caleb?) - Could Mavs get an asset? Where would that leave us Cap wise?

Or any other alternative paths u see?

@Glenjr1988 In the scenario you have presented, I think its low risk, high reward -in terms of talent. But so much would come down to Masai & Schmidt's assessment of attitude - he seems unfazed by the shit he created and seems to double down at any opportunity!
