Lets hope he refs Wales off the park in the interested of fair competition - only joking.

England could be in a lot of hot water over their "claims" accoring to the newspapers today.

god help scotland and wales! unless he goes in scotlands favour and they beat wales and we beat france... ah, that'd be magic

Yay Leela's here!

WTF Amz?

Amz · 04-03-2005 2:02pm

We play rugby together ...

Isn't it obvious?

Trojan · 04-03-2005 2:14pm

Silly girls...

Which one is Leela? I watched the game in Clontarf and talked to a couple of 'em in the bar.

Amz · 04-03-2005 2:24pm

That'd be Louise, she played as a prop that day. You'd have to ask her yourself if she was talkin' to you.

We're due to play Clontarf again in a week or two.

Geez.....Get a room.......

I don't see how Kaplan would have either a positive or negative impact on the scot/wales game...as the English claims were un-substantiated and later withdrawn anyway.

I didn't see what trouble the RFU could be in over it, but i'd imagine a fine? Please elaborate downtime.....

It is against the Laws to criticise match officials, so the RFU could be in trouble if they do not sanction AR in some way.

You playing down the Avenue Amz? Gis a shout on the day if you are.

Will do.

We're preparing for the intervarsities next month so we're possibly organising a few friendlies etc.

<on topic>

Fines/Sanctions for the criticism of referees/officials is common in other sports, definitely in soccer and tennis.
