Bobfoc Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 Close game in the end, thanks to disciplinary issues from a couple of England players. I'm intrigued as to how this will all be sorted with the indefinitely postponed Italy matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baddar Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 Gareth Thomas says the penis grabbing incident involving Joe Marler would never have happened in his day, and if it had, he wouldn't have retired. 😂 But of course people are upset about his comments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Lineker Posted July 27, 2020 Admin Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 This year's Autumn Tests are set to be replaced by an eight-team tournament in which the Six Nations sides will be joined by Japan and Fiji. The Exeter Chiefs board will meet on Wednesday to discuss a rebranding that could lead to the Premiership club removing their Native American badge and mascot, known as “Big Chief”. An Exeter supporters’ online petition has gathered more than 3,500 signatures, calling for an end to the club’s “harmful imagery and branding”. Two petitions have been launched arguing against any change Exeter adopted the Chiefs name and logo in 1999, although the nickname dates back to at least the 1930s. Concerns around the team’s appropriation of Native American imagery were first raised in 2016 when the historian Dr Rachel Herrmann claimed it evoked “Britain’s forgotten imperial American past”. The current Premiership leaders have a reserve team known as the Exeter Braves, while the “tomahawk chop”, a popular fan chant that has been used as walk-on music at Sandy Park, has also attracted criticism. In America, the NFL’s Washington side recently dropped their badge and Redskins branding, taking on the temporary new name of Washington Football Team for the coming season. The decision was welcomed by Ray Halbritter, an Oneida Nation representative, who said the change “closes a painful chapter of denigration and disrespect toward Native Americans and other people of color”. The current Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, have also come under fire for the use of Native American imagery and the “tomahawk chop” at Arrowhead Stadium. In baseball, the Cleveland Indians dropped their mascot in 2018 and have since indicated they are likely to change their name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Lineker Posted October 17, 2020 Admin Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 Exeter won the Champions Cup. Good for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cymbols Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 Corking game as well. Last night's Challenge Cup final was a good one too, with the Bristol Bears winning. Pretty good couple of days for the South West. Cannot wait for Exeter vs Wasps next week (providing that Wasps have enough covid-free players to field a team - otherwise we get a champions vs champions clash with Bristol stepping in, despite shipping 50 points against Coventry's only major sports team last week).

Cymbols Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 Bit of a flat final day really. Between Wales having to play elsewhere because of the Cardiff field hospital, no fans for the anthems, and the fact that it was played out months after the last round, just didn’t have the same energy around it. I get it, just felt more different than recent football/MMA events have been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobfoc Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 France have a lot of bright prospects, it seems. They could be the team to beat in next year's Six Nations. It will be interesting to see how far they've developed by the next World Cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
