Ambleside - a "few" years in the wilderness????!!!
In the spirit of nice locations that have nothing to do with rugby ...Not Rugby but Bamburgh CC sits in the shadow of Bamburgh Castle in Northumberland. The North Sea is the other side of the castle.
Windsor has some nice fields backdropped by Phil and Brenda's old house.That must be one of the most striking rugby pitches in the country!
Also Bath.
Where else ?
Yes it does ! I have been there, but not as a refWindsor has some nice fields backdropped by Phil and Brenda's old house.
Silly person!In the spirit of nice locations that have nothing to do with rugby ...
Bummer, but at least you have a fair sized Toblerone to keep you company!Nowhere for the next few months. Fractured 5th metatarsal tonight out running. That’ll teach me to try to keep fit, Bugger!View attachment 4720
thats was great. When was this, who was the ref?Ah. Yes. Windsor.
Where we turned up with only 13 due to illness, they had a full bench but declined a request to give us players to even the sides up.
Where despite playing with a 6 man pack constantly destroyed their 8 man scrum so their ball was very poor.
Where after an hour we were winning.
Where magically their hooker had a sore neck and couldn't continue in the front row.
But was fit enough to play on the wing.
Where the ref queried this but was assured the ex hooker now wing was OK to continue. Where the scrum became uncontested.
Where the ref said he was very unhappy with what had happened, but couldn't do anything about it.
Where they could now get clean unpressured ball, and run around the overlap.
Where we dropped to a 3 man scrum to fill up the backline
Where the ref then penalised us for < 5 in the scrum (which is of course correct by law; I was just trying to "equal" up the urine extraction)
Where I (pack leader/VC) suggested to the ref that it wasn't us that was extracting the urine from this game
Where the ref agreed with me
Where they ended up winning as a direct result of a depowered scrum and a two man advantage
Where they were loudly and joyfully singing and celebrating their win in the showers after the game
Where the ref sought me out and apologised to me for the stupid scenarios that had played out that he couldn't prevent.
And where my wife overheard two Windsor wives/GFs saying that Windsor were playing Devizes - a "bunch of yokel hicks".
That Windsor. Nice people..
Ah. Yes. Windsor.
That Windsor. Nice people..

I would be invoking law 3.22.C "sorry guys, neck injury, I'm concerned. He can't play off he goes or the game is off.
blinking years ago - a friendly, 3rd XV game.thats was great. When was this, who was the ref?
