Ruptured achilles, likely season ender for AJ Macginty. At 35, hope it's not career ender too! He was my 1st draft pick so my @DraftXVRugby team also screwed. Creative trading incoming. You can still start your Draft league - URC & Prem. Works same even though seasons started.

@Oldsuliansrfc Generally true. But I also believe my own ears and eyes ;)

Delighted The "Prem" is now proactively celebrating danger inherent in rugby. It's a key part of why many play and watch. The risk IS the reward! I *also feel gaslit I've banged this drum on our pod for 12yrs, never moving from the opinion that it's rugby's 'special sauce' 1/3

I've never strayed from this opinion and never stopped sayng it (as the podcast back catalogue will testify). Now some chief architects of the madness, who dragged English rugby through the mud, are positioning themselves as the solution, without a hint of self awareness 3/3

I worked on Premiership coverage for 7 years, when content celebrating legal big hits were taken off air because of "optics". I was regularly told I was "irresponsible" for talking about enjoying legal, codified violence as a key ingredient in rugby's sporting competition 2/3

Sacha FM (my favourite radio station), having the kind of game that doesn't just win a Test Match... ...it makes you think he has SUCH generational talent that he could be THE face rugby union, let alone Springbok rugby, to market the game to the world. Unreal! #RSAvARG

@con_chords OR...just as he scored a hat trick try? I can't help if you choose to see the worst in people. Please go to my channel & watch my visit to a rugby programme in a S.A. township to showcase the power of rugby for young girls. You might think twice about jumping to ugly assumptions

@jonodeee I'm a long time advocate of captains challenge and also not constantly tinkering with laws. Still...doesn't excuse shocking quality of some of the coverage.

The "football-ification" of rugby is going too far. Referees becoming the story when there's 80 minutes of rugby to dissect. And the TV coverage is a catalyst. Everyone's guilty of it, but Stan Sports may be the most egregious culprits. Detracts from a great game #NZLvAUS

@rugbyexpansion Sure. If you take a select clip and ignore the sentence before and after and any nuance - of which their is much - then you can make anyone say anything. But usually that's only done by people who have an opinion already and are just seeking confirmation of it.

I have properly missed Draft fantasy rugby! SO much better than salary cap games. Week 1 @DraftXVrugb match up is going down to the wire. Radwan & Hodge vs Ibitoye & Feyi-Waboso will decide it.

Play against your mates (2 to 12 players in a league) not against thousands of strangers No 'cookie cutter teams'. You OWN the players you pick. Head to head weekly match ups - just like an actual league. Set up your league, or join a league. Rip in!

You couldn't watch ProD2 in the UK... I bought the rights! There wasn't a Draft fantasy rugby game... I've made one! Very proud of @DraftXVRugby. Infinitely better than salary cap games. @URCOfficial & @premrugby games live NOW draftxv.com & in your app store!
