Jeez, this lead up to the 6 Nations is resembling the Wacky Races for the number of calamities befalling the teams. Will anyone be left to even get over the start line... #rugby

Prem are only not playing because they have to have empty weekends due to lack of teams. There's no benevolence going on here, they are playing Prem Cup matches instead....
There's too much rugby, not enough weekends

Fair assessment. To be playing a solely kicking gameplan without the ability to nail kicks is an interesting decision..

Other than on crazy loose ball we have no idea what to do. Across the board our execution and choice of kicks is woeful.
It's just not good enough

Well it was belligerent.... Doesn't make me feel any better, probably worse tbh.
We sacrificed Castres for 1872 and Bath for that.
Bulls did nothing v us other than be physical. It was plenty enough.
If I was a forward I'd be picking a back each and asking them what the point of them was.

Anyone want to predict what happens next? I going for a truly belligerent performance v Bulls, maybe enough to win, then a whole set of "tough conversations" "that's not what we are" "turning point" "all hurting" "hard look at selves" etc soundbites.
Promptly followed by tame capitulation v Leinster

Didn't leapt out of bed already excited about game later, unfortunately supporters don't get rest protocols to get previous games fully out of system... Confident that the boys will win though. Preview by @theburghwatch.bsky.social #rugby #edinburgh #URC

Maybe Scottish model is closer, particularly if they get the proteams down to two?

Just a thought, surely this impacts the St Helens development? I'm sure the council (and their constituents), who I thought are contributing to the work, would want assurances on the future use of the facilities before allocating funding?
