2nd Round of Local derbies

It certainly gives the Dragons a much better chance against Ospreys
Still looking forward to it though. Let's see how Matavesi copes.

It didn't help

Nope. The Ospreys seem to be playing with more confidence and attacking flair than in the last couple of seasons, despite all the missing players.
As usual the Dragons don't have enough good players to deal with the Ospreys.

Aye. We are truly screwed until the funding is sorted out.

[Numbers]

I'm still a bit puzzled by the reffing of the Blues v Scarlets game, whereas the ref was giving every decision to the Blues he didn't seem to want to yellow card the Scarlets for repeat infringements (I'm not sure even a third of them were legitimate), yet then yellow cards Shingler incorrectly. I can ponly come to the conclusion that when the BLues were camped on the Scarlets line at the end of the first half the ref had no idea who was comitting the offences so was reticent to show a yellow card on those grounds.

Either way that was a Changelangesque level of reffing.

That is the most SCARY thing I will hear this hallows eve the name of "The Changling". Can send shivers down the spine of strong rugby coaches .

Just when you thought it was safe to turn your telly back on! Some of the refereeing is just dire.

The last time they beat us, they only needed one. Faletau took us to the cleaners virtually single-handed.

Poor referees are putting me off watching games far more than not getting to see the best players in the league through not being released from international squad training
