Thread question to get it rolling: Should 6 nations have a promotion/relegation with REC?
Bump test
no, regular season into playoffs.
change the name of the offside to offsides.
a shitload of ads.
>Regular season into play offs
>French and English clubs reaction when 6 nations lasts 12+ weeks
Why not really? Can't see any down side.
You do need to change 6N into a home and away series like the rugby championship though 2bh.
Down side is discovering that the quality of the REC is so drastically lower than the 6n that it would be a wasted year for the tier 1 nation that has been relegated. They would just yo yo back the next year. Its a waste of time at best. At worst it could undermine development for all euro nations due to the tier 1 nations having a seriously inferior opponent every other year and the REC teams getting spanked worse than Georgia spank them right now.
Home and away would require 6 nations moving to June and I imagine the unions aren't thrilled at the prospect of a bunch of tired players needing to play 10 weeks of rugby in the summer every year after club seasons end.
Club season should be adjusted to fit around 6N like TRC. Your international level rugby should have priority over clubs 2bh. You could even align it so an international tour fits in nice timing wise.
NH could use a schedule overhaul. Even that change would almost make you align with an international rugby calendar.
It should but English and French clubs have way too much money and sway. They tried recently to cut down the rest weeks in the 6N even though anyone with a semblance of care for player health could tell it's a bad idea. It's a shitty situation and only making our international scene worse.

Great posts lads
Nah just joining in the fun to try keep this thread alive.
It should survive the night once the man Utd posters fully go to bed
At least we didnt have newfags encouraging the monkey this time
How long will that be?
More or less happened. They've stopped making new threads and most euros will be in or going to bed.
Perfectly in time for lunch break to end.
Is that new trippy still posting?
Only Saturdays I'm sure
>shortening tripfag to “trippy”
Caught you red handed you false flagging tripfag fuck.
You're a fucking legend m8
Latest IRB rankings are out lads
Can't be right it's missing the blues above all the lions team's.

Is this image from a pornography?
Watching England get btfo IS pornography lad
No you didn't.
Not really concerned with games this year I have full confidence the chiefs will take it out
The opposite of whatever fuckwit just said.
The same as whatever GODspouter just said.
The same as shitspouter, but "deeply concerned" and "Blues"
I've made my picks.
I've made my mistakes.
The same as Aucklander at Otago Uni larping as a Highlanders fan said.
I've made my bed, and now I must lie in it.
The same as Red's lad, but for the Force
>didnt pick the landers
HOLY PLEB
Truthie time: Otago must be nuked.
brainybomb: GOATago will be the birthplace of the next renaissance
Very good post.
Absolutely diabolical post

Tired if you following me from thread to thread, I'm not interested in indulging you, lad.
You won't get another you until I link the photo of your broken corpse to your last post on this site.

Their sponsor is literally the prison they live in
Glasgow warriors will win the pro14 and there's nothing anyone can do to stop them

Falcon at 10. The meme is over.
We need his defense at the back
Chitas serve for something
Shut the fuck up you blithering idiot.
>He ashamedly crawls into the thread admitting defeat
Point and laugh
Based BritBro obliterating the hue's thread.
Have a great day, mate
Which kind of company is Cell C?
God speed when the lynch mob comes for you based afrikanner
Oi m8 what happened to your thread
Why do we call them "backs" and not "backwards"?
Rugby positions are named in relation to the scrum. Backs are at the BACK of the scrum while forwards go forward in it. That's why they're known as Lee trois-quarts in French; they take up the other 3/4s of the field when there's a scrum.
Does that not mean they move backwards behind the scrum?
Obviously not
imagine being a smelly prop lads
In the first game against France we had the officials calling a double HIA for leg injuries on 2 French players and now we have this
>the42.ie
How desperate are they to stop us winning the grand slam?
Huh, I thought it did.
Three quarters are the wingers and centre. Halfback, first and second 5/8th, 3/4 backs and the fullback.
Ah fair enough, clearly got given a dodgy translation
Won't even finish first on table points mate
>Glasgow on 65 points
>Zebre H, Scarlets A, Connacht H, Ulster A, Edinburgh A
Leinster on 64 points
>Ospreys A, Zebre H, Benneton H, Connacht A
>Leinster and their babby division
Cute
how's Leinster pronounced?
I remember the Leicester pronunciation debacle.
>Leinster's babby division
>20 points between Glasgow and Munster in conference A
ok
Exactly how it looks, Len-Stirr.
it doesn't look like "len stirr".
it looks like either "line stir" or "lean stir" to me.
Glasgow dominating their group is more an indication of how well they're doing than the weakness of their group. I'd rather southern kings than Cheetahs and Dragons than Ospreys.
Lenstar, with "e" pronounced as italian "è" and "a" as english "i" in "first"
There is no "a" in Leinster
It's 12 points
You'll never guess who's up.
Schwa sound can be understood as close to "a"
What is, arguably, the most looked down upon position in rugby, /rug/?

Prop.
big smelly props no doubt
Strong and muscular post from Spain. If you are small and weal or weigh under 95kg skip this post.
For the first time ever, RUGBY made the cover of Marca, Spain's main sports daily with a 2 500 000 readership. This was after the Spanish national team, the "Leones" beat Germany 84-10 to open up the door for a possible Rugby World Cup qualification. The National Team matches are already drawing attendances in excess of 10 000 spectators.
The King of Spain, Felipe VI, an old rugger himself, was in attendance of the Germany-game, and descended on the field to congratulate the players. The King seemed to be a tall and muscular all-around chad lad with a huge shoe size. dwarfing the n.8 captain Jaime Nava, 1,91m (pic related).
There is not "schwa" sound in Leinster
Wing
From Wikipedia:
Leinster (/ˈlɛnstər/ — Irish: Laighin / Cúige Laighean — pronounced [ˈl̪ˠaːjJnʲ] / [ˈkuːɟə ˈl̪ˠaːjJnˠ])
Sorry bro but there is.
ˈlɛnstə
ə is the schwa
None of those sound like "schwa"
Are you a front-rower? Schwa doesn't mean what it sounds like, but the name of the phonetic letter.
