A Lesson In Rugby (1 Viewer)

Seems the Wasps boys got a lesson in Rugby tonight, from a local rival who are actually from the locality, and who happen to be my team.

Urgh!! What a horrible fixture.

The team who have taken our football stadium this season vs the town who took our football team last season.

I hadnt quite looked at it like that..and I do see what you mean.

Having been born in the Borough I am a Saints fan, but brought up in Coventry a CCFC fan. I will always be a football fan first and foremost. Thankfully having never watched my football team in my Rugby town I dont have that nightmare association!

The word Northampton never previously conjured up any thought at all for me in the past, Moff, but ever since Sixfields, each and every time I hear the word Northampton, the hairs on the back of my neck prickle and and it makes me furrow my eyebrow and always think back to CCFC's tenure there .

Not really Northampton's fault of course to a large degree, but for me that association of name will forever remain tainted to my eyes.

The biggest talking point was this:

How anyone can argue this is a red card I don't know. Whether it was accidental or not it is an awful attempt at stopping the try.

A bit too blurry to judge by that clip I would say.

Ealing isn't it?

Going well then cheated out of it by a sixth form referee

Ealing was always going to be a tough game. Was hoping come this weekend it would be a bit of a decider but it wasn't meant to be

You sound like a proper wasps fan already Macca, ready with the excuses.

Its a pity a piece of foul play, in knocking someone out with your knee, has given rise to some Wasps fans using it as a direct reason for the loss. I am sure Saints would have rather continued to face, and beat, fifteen and not fourteen, players. Sixth form referee or not it was a straight red, and it ruined the contest.

Accident or not he had plenty of time to pull out of that. He was achieving nothing.
