Andrew Trimble hanging them up.

Obviously a bit mad upstairs with all that God stuff. But a player I've immense respect for. Burst onto the scene as a Centre until everyone worked out he couldn't offload. Went quiet for a few years and then came back a raging bull of a winger, an absolute horror show to run into. And he even sort of learned how to offload.

His greatest tackles over the past decade would make great viewing.

Enjoy retirement lad.

Didn't know about the god stuff. Didn't rate him as a player, he was a horrid poor centre.

SKY loses all rugby for 2018-19, might still have English Championship.

Aviva English Premiership had already gone to BT and the remaining European rugby has been taken by BT as well. 

Eir Sport has taken Pro14 for RoI but will licence one game per round (21) to free to air channel most likely TG4.

Premier Sports, a subscription channel, has taken Pro14 for UK and will licence one game per round (21) to its own free to air channel called Free Sports.

BBC NI, Wales and Scotland have all lost Pro14 rugby.
Pro 14 not worth an extra 9.99 per month

Why is the state paying the salaries of teachers in fee paying schools when they use so much ancillary money to pay for rugby coaches?
Every child is entitled to a State education. The fees are for the extras (coaches), not the basics (education).
Then why don't the parents send them to a non fee paying school?

The state pay a certain amount of staff based on enrolment numbers. Schools will pay some staff privately with fees to hire extra teachers and reduce class sizes.
Which is wrong
Why?

Saw earlier the late great Jonah Lomu would have been 43 today so thought it was a great reason to post this clip 😎 https://youtu.be/pCJfRizqcs0

Oh I'm sorry, was your previous contribution an actual request, rather than just a question?

78 mins PENALTY LEINSTER

Isa Nacewa with his second penalty...would be harder to miss in truth, but that is Leinster ahead for the first time

Well done Leinster, tough on Racing

Great result for Leinster.  A consolation prize for the 2016 pro 12 I suppose.
