The mistake from Botica at the end of the quins vs saints game is up there with the worst you'll ever see on a rugby pitch:http://sport.bt.com/tries/saints-claim-stunning-last-play-win-over-quins-91364038615684So gets the ball in the dead bal lzone after the clock has gone over 80 which gives him the option to:Touch it downKick or throw out directly behind himselfkick to the shorter side with no regard for distanceinstead he kicks to the far wing and tries to make as much distance as possible. It's almost as if he had no idea that the clock was gone but given the clock had a second left when the scrum started that's pretty shocking communication through to him if it's the case. Lovely hands from Mallinder in the middle of the move afterwards though, he really does look like he could be a world class 12.
The new puritans want to ban contact rugby in schools now.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/health/news/12179548/Ban-contact-rugby-in-schools-say-health-experts.htmlAllyson Pollock needs to be fired. She constantly oversteps her health remit and wades into social and cultural engineering. Horrible killjoy woman. She was so sneering on the news this morning.
Reasons I dislike Sarries #3728:http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/35743821They encourage bullshit like this. I'd bene trying really hard not to bitch about it but what a bunch of cnuts. Shame on Irish for going along with the sideshow as well.
Just watching the highlights from the weekend, some magnificent rugby from Wasps. Glorious stuff.That boy Walker from Quins has got some serious gas too.
I wouldn't be so sure, sarries have been talking about games like this for a few years, I'd put money on them planting the idea and doing most of the work to set it up once it was agreed.On topic, wasps were superb again today and totally dismantled the tigers defence, lost George Smith to what looked like a sickener though.

The real issue here is that this will just cause more problems. Banning tackling will not reduce injuries, it just shifts them when people are bigger and stronger and bad technique is more of a problem, I suspect that if this goes through in 8-10years there will be lots of noise about how dangerous rugby is because of the number of players being seriously hurt at colts level. They should be investing (as the RFU is trying to) in getting far more teachers to become qualified coaches, that way tackling technique is covered early and the 'duty of care' principle is applied from the offset.
