The BBC just showed their five greatest ever Barbarian tries, I think Guscott chose them. Unsurprisingly, all of them were from before the professional era. The game was definitely more off the cuff and unstructured then. It was a more charming and exciting game.
In fairness, a lot of sports have become bland, corporate and charmless.

The Barbarians. They wear their club socks (the mad bastards) and generally don't kick the ball. In Rugby Country™ , this qualifies as some class of out there, non conformist, mad bastard stuff. They like to live on the edge in the oul Rugby Country™ all the same.
In no way whatsoever is it a loose collective of rugby lads with not a whole lot else to do at the end of a season other than meet up for a drinking session and play a game of rugby while wearing their club socks. Clubs that the said same professionals haven't actually played for in more than a decade, mainly due to said same professionalism. |

When I was in my late teens I was part of a hippie commune. We would wear dungarees and wild patterned shirts, smoke weed, go on acid trips, have impossibly brilliant conversations about the meaning of life, listen to Funkadelic and the 13th Floor Elevators, and have wild, passionate sex with beautiful girls. Always, always, always while watching VHS compilation videos of the best of the Baa-Baas, narrated by Nigel Starmer-Smith. So to me the venerable institution that is Barbarian F.C. will always symbolise youth, innocence, beauty, freedom and hedonism - the true anti-establishment spirit. As we used to hilariously joke back then, "turn on, tune in, 22 drop out". |

Simon Zebo booed (no big deal) but also on the receiving end of some choice abuse from Norn Iron Rugby fans today.

Great weekend got the provinces in what were really tough games.
Both Csrberry and Ross Byrne with fine games. Ok we Need sexton fit and flying if we wanna achieve greatness in 2019 but the young guys can certainly lead the line. Leinster performance was really good. Ringrose is just phenominal.

Bizarrely enough, after almost five rounds, no one has actually qualified for the quarter finals yet. Saracens will be the first side through if they win later today, admittedly.

Makes a nice change. Sad to hear about the zebo incident. And is sexton not fully fit?

Who’s going to win the 6 nations?
I think the winner of Ireland / England on Sat wins it. France v Wales tomorrow will be a good match. RB will be inspecting the seats situation.

Reckon ireland but the welsh are a good shout too. Fixtures suit the welsh and they probably should havd beat us last year in dublin. Cant see a grand slam this year.

Tickets for the Lensta Ulsta quarter final went on sale this morning. Seems it is basically sold out already.
