12 Jun 2023

George Skivington - PA

Gloucester have confirmed their coaching ticket ahead of the 2023/24 season.

Head Coach George Skivington will continue to lead their Gallagher Premiership side and he will be joined once more by Trevor Woodman, Dom Waldouck and Tim Taylor as his senior coaches.

“As announced last month, James Lightfoot Brown arrives at Kingsholm following an extensive search for a new Attack Coach,” read a statement. “Lightfoot Brown is highly regarded as one of the best up and coming coaches in the country and is set to be an exciting addition to Skivington’s team.

“We are also pleased to confirm that T Rhys Thomas has agreed to join Gloucester Rugby, taking on the role of Forwards Transition Coach. Thomas’ responsibilities will focus on developing players through the academy pathway and into the senior squad alongside Tim Taylor.

“Thomas joins Kingsholm from Cardiff Rugby having worked in multiple roles within the academy and the senior squad for the URC side.”

Maro Itoje's captaincy credentials have been questioned before

Eddie, Eddie, Eddie Jones!

The man is literally thicker than lumpy shyte. It’s even funnier how he starts sentences with “I might be wrong” - he’s always wrong.

It’s arguable that starting Davies in the 2nd test cost them the win - he waved Adam Ashley-Cooper in for a try late in the game. He didn’t trust BOD to make his own tackle (?) so went to cover the 13 channel and left the space.

Footnotes indeed.

Are players playing outside of Ireland eligible for the national side? I’m not sure but I suspect not.

I like this suggestion a lot. Big question is will Donoghue pick Eng or Ire as he's qualified for both currently?

Mick Cleary: 'Many Lions might have opted for the safe route - not Maro Itoje'

The dangling earing accessory was OTT by Itoje as he could have simply worn the Stud that he usually does & no one would have mentioned/noticed it. I see in the pic included in this article with Itoje & Faz that the dangling earing is now not evident which is a better look so perhaps Itoje had been given some ‘advice’. What Itoje does in civvies is all fine but when you don the B&I Lions shirt, especially being announced as a B&I Lions Captain, the shirt/look doesn’t need to be accessorized with a dangling earing. I’m not small minded but rather a traditionalist & tradition is a word used by many when talking about the B&I Lions.

Here’s to an entertaining, enjoyable, engrossing series.

Why ‘the curse of the Bambino’ is still stronger than ever at Leinster

Gotcha, cheers! Seemed to do wonders at nullifying the rush, interesting from an All Blacks point of view and our Rush D struggles of the last few years

Lame. Try a different angle, tough guy.

My team didn’t lose at the weekend, I made some money, I got drunk and I got laid.

Total win.

The 8 Southern Hemisphere-raised Lions heading Down Under

With the international rugby residency requirement being extended from 3 to 5 years will this be the most SH players in a lions squad? 6 players here qualifying through residency and Schoeman being the last player to qualify for the 3 years rule?

5 years feel much more reasonable going forward.

It doesn’t feel great having so many SH players in the British and Irish Lions (wish the Lions was more like State of Origin personally) but can’t complain when they qualified under the rules that were relevant at the time, they are British and Irish qualified, so more power to them many of these guys have been there yonks an

British and Irish Lions squad 2025: 10 losers from Andy Farrell's selection

Not in this case. The subjective pronoun is known (a particular rugby team or teams). ‘Who’ is grammatically correct.

Would Irish suit better for you?

lol now is very much not the time to try Steward at 12. Moving him there never has, and never will, make any sense whatsoever. Not only would it squander his talents, but it would also block the development of Will Butt, Seb Atkinson, Max Ojomoh, and Joe Woodward.

I’d go with:

15 - de Glanville

14 - Roebuck

13 - Dingwall

12 - Butt

11 - Sleightholme

10 - Ford

9 - van Poortvliet

8 - Willis

7 - Curry

6 - One of: Underhill/CCS/Hill/Kenningham

5 - Lockett

4 - Coles

3 - Opoku-Fordjour

2 - George

1 - Baxter

16 - Langdon

17 - Obano

18 - Davison

19 - Richards

20 - One of: Underhill/CCS/Hill/Kenningham

21 - Pepper

22 - Spencer

23 - Donoghue

‘Rising force’ Proctor gives All Blacks Ioane dilemma

Rieko isn’t even a good wing, despite what many people say. He has tunnel vision, straight for the line at full speed, and he is fast; but just like tonight against Fiji, where an easy try went begging because he didn’t see the defender flying at him to bundle him into touch. Yes he scores tries as a wing, that’s what wingers do, but he butchers too many. We have better options.

Stat chat: Has Hoskins Sotutu answered the All Blacks' questions in 2025?

What we actually saw in that clip was vintage Sotutu; a flashy behind-the-back pass that arced slow and high in the air and might just as easily been snaffled by a more on-to-it defender. That is not test calibre rugby.

Yeah no one down here wants a USA team. If anything they should play in a different conference like the NBA or NFL.
