No doubt the Rabo played its part in allowing those teams to rest their Superstars. Very Happy

LOL....

I think we should be more worried about Bath being in the new HC next year. We all know what happened the last time they were in the Aviva (that was without BOD too Wink

Scrumpy doesn't, he only started 'supporting' Bath when they signed Gavlar

The truth is BOD hasn't play in Wales in 24 league games, that is a sad stat for Rabo fans in Wales if yourself or anyone else can't see that then there is no hope for the Rabo.

They don't need to see it. It doesn't affect them so it doesn't apply.

by ME-109 Wed 30 Apr 2014, 4:06 pm

Not playing full strength team all the time in Top 14/Aviva = Rotation
Not playing full strength team all the time in Rabo = Resting....

Cool

by Scrumpy Wed 30 Apr 2014, 4:12 pm

6 years of rotation! Headscratch

Whats BOD scared of?

No wonder fans don't part with their cash to watch Rabo games in Wales.

by MunsterMac Wed 30 Apr 2014, 4:15 pm

So does the way many of the French clubs have treated the HC by resting / rotating players over the years mean that the HC isn't a serious competition??

By extension maybe the English clubs could claim that because the HC isn't a serious competition that's why they haven't bothered to win it since 2007.

It de-values it imo.

my god you are like a broken record. we all accept BOD hasnt played in Wales over the past 6 years now pretty please stop repeating yourself

by ME-109 Wed 30 Apr 2014, 4:24 pm

He cant...because he has no other argument...

by Scrumpy Wed 30 Apr 2014, 4:26 pm

But 6 years!

by MunsterMac Wed 30 Apr 2014, 4:29 pm

Very little if his record is anything to go by.

by Scrumpy Wed 30 Apr 2014, 4:37 pm

What, not taking part in 24 Rabo games in Wales over 6 years.

by MunsterMac Wed 30 Apr 2014, 4:42 pm

by Scrumpy Wed 30 Apr 2014, 4:47 pm

This thread is harder to watch than a Rabo game itself. Wink

can't wait until tomorrows much anticipated game Rolling Eyes

i wish you would take a leaf out BOD's book and not come back for 6 years.

by Scrumpy Wed 30 Apr 2014, 4:57 pm

Pay me his wages and I'll consider it. Wink

by MunsterMac Wed 30 Apr 2014, 5:03 pm

Play rugby like him and you can consider it a done deal. Very Happy

by LeinsterFan4life Thu 01 May 2014, 5:08 pm

It seems to have helped the attendance, one of the bigger criwds Zebre have had this season.

by GoodinTightSpaces Thu 01 May 2014, 5:11 pm

great to hear that Zebre taking the initiative has paid off. great for rugby

by VinceWLB Thu 01 May 2014, 5:14 pm

Thats an amazing try, Zebre are now looking the most promising Italian team.

by LeinsterFan4life Thu 01 May 2014, 5:18 pm

Zebre look really good!

by Guest Thu 01 May 2014, 5:19 pm

Pretty happy that we drew out there as it stands, considering how the rest of the regions have gone/are going over there against them (Cardiff lost, Ospreys losing, us and Scarlets drew)

by PenfroPete Thu 01 May 2014, 5:23 pm

Excellent try from Zebre. Now 10-3 after 20 minutes

Apart from the 'derby', and 2 games right at the start of the season in September, all of Zebre's attendances have been below 1,800. Looks like there's more than that there, good to see

by LeinsterFan4life Thu 01 May 2014, 5:26 pm

Once they start averaging the 2500-3000 mark they will be right where Aironi where before they went down. They have made steady progress over the 2 years.

by VinceWLB Thu 01 May 2014, 5:29 pm

It's a shame Cavinato wasn't in charge last season, i think they really improved under him.

by PenfroPete Thu 01 May 2014, 5:33 pm

30 mins 13 - 6

by PenfroPete Thu 01 May 2014, 5:45 pm

HT 16 - 6

by glamorganalun Thu 01 May 2014, 6:27 pm

Baldwin and Sam Davies have been poor so far.

by Guest Thu 01 May 2014, 6:27 pm

I take it all back. Awful result for the Dragons laughing

I gather (from when my tv just flicked back onto it after the rain), that Ospreys are 20-16 up

by glamorganalun Thu 01 May 2014, 6:28 pm

Normally this ref poor but he is having a good game, well done so far.

by glamorganalun Thu 01 May 2014, 6:32 pm

Agan Sam Davies a waste of space

by glamorganalun Thu 01 May 2014, 6:43 pm

This hooker can t hit a barn door

by VinceWLB Thu 01 May 2014, 6:48 pm

OMG this is amazing!

Best game i have seen this season!

by wales606 Thu 01 May 2014, 6:49 pm

and that is why you secure the win before going for the TBP

Zebre 30 - 27 Ospreys

by glamorganalun Thu 01 May 2014, 7:01 pm

May be time to start looking at a proper coaching team, team selection has been poor moost of the season bearman and R Jones had to start at 6 and 8, Baker is hot or mostly cold.

by LeinsterFan4life Thu 01 May 2014, 7:07 pm

Well done again Zebre. Massive improvement from last season and their scrum looks really good!

by Portnoy's Complaint Thu 01 May 2014, 7:10 pm

Shame that Zebre couldn't stick a WBP on the pride of Gwalior. [ed] Cymru. Apologies.

[ed ed] Looks as though the barcodes might overtake the Company of Many Colours in their deserved place in the race for the EC.

by GLove39 Thu 01 May 2014, 7:32 pm

Wow what a shocker!
Also that's Zebre now 4 games in a row undefeated at home!

You'd think they would've learned from last week mind

by Guest Thu 01 May 2014, 11:01 pm

Happy with the Dragons draw again now.

by PenfroPete Fri 02 May 2014, 7:52 am

Attendance 3,025, Zebre's highest home attendance of the season apart from the Italian derby

by Breadvan Fri 02 May 2014, 7:56 am

Pish poor tbh. No point in chasing bp if you haven't the composure or basics to do it. Top 4 as it is are waayy better than the Ospreys.

by munkian Fri 02 May 2014, 8:44 am

Well done Zebre, Ospreys never seem to learn - they always seem to go to Italy looking for the TBP and get embarrassed

by Mickado Fri 02 May 2014, 8:49 am

Ulster fans rejoice!

This will mean that Treviso really have to go balls out to finish ahead of Zebre, next game is against Glasgow at home. Could be a cracker.
