No worries.

You can always give Twickenham ticket office a ring sometime and ask them if any will go on general sale, they may be able to help you better in that regard. I can imagine getting tickets for away matches is a much tougher process - I haven't really got much of a clue as to how those are allocated.

are you serious?!? wasps, tigers & Sharks next?!? woah...talk about throwing us in at the deep end! next time i go to a match i'll have to look out for you. i can imagine it now..."hi...are you omlette!?!!" :L haha!!

mmm... but hopefully it'll be the baptism of fire my boys need to pull there sox up and remind them that we're not in ND1 anymore and that nobody said it would be easy.

Lol, if I'm there you'll be able to tell cos as of yet I'm the only teen gal working for them. Of course now I'm moving to Cardiff, every match I can make is precious. I'm delaying moving in until the last minute so i can be at the tigers match, but I worked out that even then I can only do 6 fixtures this year.

[omlette]

oh, and I think you can get tix for matches on ticketmaster, but I don't think 6N ones are on sale yet. Oh, and they're not cheap either...

I'm the same.
Going to see Glaws Tigers on Sat and then will see them paly Saints at home before I disappear.
Nearest RU club to me will be sale and I'll be in Glos when Glaws play Sale at their ground. So I will have very limited rugby this season and my boys are looking so good so far :P

Enough of your perving ways , what are their rugby chances?

[silens_fatuus]

Hush you I shall perve all I wish

I quite rate our chances. We have a fair few number of injuries and are still performing quite well...once the team has woken up a bit. Our first real test will be on Sat, and I'm stupidly going up to Welford Road by myself to watch it...wee bit scared!
I really think that we will end up in the top 4 as long as Andy Robinson doesn't steal most of our players and ruin them

[Ethereal]

By the way, what do people think to Pansy Wilkinson's latest "injury" ?

[Katy200]

Its his other knee this time isnt it, the one thats not caused all the problems. I think its safe to say i doubt hell play another international.

he's the biggest pansy in the world i agree 100% with u there. he shud just leave rugby now..he's ruining his reputation!! he can't even kick the ball now!! i think he shud retire and be remembered for his world cup performance, not the "pansy" which we are referring to him now!!

[omlette]

awww.. poor ol' jonny boy!!! I think ever since he kicked that drop goal he's cursed for all eternity. He's just such a petal. I mean, a huge great blokey falling on you can't be comfortable, but hello??? Surely that's the point of rugby? Other players can take the big hits, and he used to be fine earlier in his career.

And like silens_fatuus, I too reserve my right to "perve".

[silens_fatuus]

Omlette...I like the look of your young Mr Care!
Think I may PM you so don't take over this thread :P:

Jonny should bow out gracefully I think. He may have a chance to enjoy his later years

[Ethereal]

I think Johnny should sod off to the NFL

[silens_fatuus]

Not a fan then

[Ethereal]

Does it show? I thought I hid it well.

[omlette]

Whoa... okay I thought I should do summat to resurrect this thread, we were in danger of being moved onto "the next page"

So....... hmm.....
How's everyone's teams doing??? Lol, my boys in danger of getting their asses whooped again this weekend. Should be... fun....

just trynna make conversation...

[bikerx23]

Cardiff doing OK.

great thing about welsh rugby - it gets shown on BBC2!



No idea how anyone else is doing....Sounds like Farrell is improving though, which nationally is a promising thing.

[silens_fatuus]

My team are doing sexcellent!
Draw at Wleford Road is always good and I'm glad I was there.
Saints on Sat are going to get taught how to play rugby should be going down as is my last rugby match for a while whilst I'm at uni.

our A` team isn't llooking too good but thats because most of our A stars are now playing for the first XV...woooooo

Sorry am v drunken right now! But think that all makes vague sense :P:

Omelette, your team should be alright because we all know Tigers, can't perform away from home!

[omlette]

lol, but even that probs wont stop us from cocking up big time!!!! Any bets on how many yellow cards we'll get this week?!!

The great thing about me moving to wales is that they get proper rugby coverage!!! Admittedly it's all welsh clubs etc. but there's a quins match showing on beeb wales and also Scrum V - weekly magazine show, which I guess will make up for the lack of Rugby Special on the Beeb (RIP Rugby Special - your theme tune will live on in my heart and mind for a looong time).

Our A team is doing fantastically though. OMG I can't believe I'm gonna be leaving on sunday, I'm gonna miss them sooooo much!!!!!!! *sob sob*

"I can't liiiiiiive, if living is without yoooooooouu!!!......."
BTW: I'm not drunk, so I dont have ur excuse!!!!!

I dislocated my right shoulder playing rugby the other day. It was an uncommon dislocation as the shoulder popped out the back instead of the front, which apparently only happens in 5% of cases and hurts more :|. Anyway, it popped back in really nicely and the thing that came off came off nicely too. I probably won’t need an op; just have some tendon/muscle damage. Has anyone else had a similar injury? Can anyone tell me how long it normally takes to come back from this type of injury, and whether it is one of those that bugs you for the rest of your career? I'm only 17 and apparently quite lax and flexible in the upper body area, will this help my recovery? How much does getting physio help? I’m apparently getting some on the NHS.

Addtionally, I wrecked the tendons in my ankle when I went over on it badly ages ago, and didn’t get any physio. It has reduced my ankle flexibility and sometimes it tears a tiny bit in matches If pressure is applied in certain ways. Do you think getting physio on this old injury will solve this problem?

Will I have to wear a shoulder strap like I do on my ankle from now on?

Any advice is greatly appreciated,

Rory.

[silens_fatuus]

Ouch unofrtunatly no advice but hope you have a speedy recovery.

Actually I do have some vague, when I was younger both knees would quite frequently give way underneath me. At the age of 7 my doctor put it down to growing pains (growing pains , im still 5'5!) it was until I was 13 that I was referred to physio and within a month both my knees were fine and I havn't had a problem since. So to wrap that all up, it may be worth talking to your physio about your ankle and seeing if they can recommend exercises to help strengthen it.
