This official team (Piardi in particular) needs to be stood down next weekend. The decisions in this game have been disgraceful. #ChampionsCupRugby #PAUvNOR

Quins really must be happy with that 3 they took…🙄 Will never understand rugby’s obsessions with kicking 3 when the 5 will do you better and the pressure almost as much good as said 5.

Woodthorpe truly sucks

RDP is POTM for me thus far, created both tries. Luke James 2nd on that list. #SALvEXE

Perfect timing Luke James

Really entertaining game in Sale thus far. I mean I can’t believe people aren’t super interested in shit house rugby that leads to 5 penalties.

Shit houser extraordinaire of the year in rugby has a card less than 10 minutes in. I’ll show you my surprise face 🙄

It's THE return of Freed Bad Advice for all your #FantasyRugby needs. It's time for Start or Sit from #TFRY for Round 6 of @premrugby.bsky.social on both Superbru and our friends at Draft XV. The guys have given their thoughts on the teams for the weekend.

Fuck rugby

If the scrum collapses with no penalty, and the ball is at the back, do not reset it please. Just play (more reasons Piardi sucks)

Someone might want to teach the South Africans that they do in fact need to wrap and if there’s a conspiracy to do with them, it’s their coaches not making it clear enough that they should do so while the players pretend it’s not a concern either. Nothing else.

@usarugby.bsky.social 👀

If you missed the pod this week, suffice to say we (along with the rest of fans) are fed up with the short sighted decisions being made by rugby organizations all over. The list is not just limited to those on the graphic, these are just top of mind.

This one is a bit spicy 🌶 my friends, so bring something to keep you cool. We’ll probably piss someone off with this, but oh well. 🤷‍♂️ Rugby can’t get out of its own damn way. Fans want to love the game, but the sport keeps shooting itself in the foot.

Genuinely want to know. Are people in Devon that ignorant or just humongous assholes ton continue with their racist chant this whole tim?

All the muppets that were whinging about LCD needing to be England’s starting hooker, get back in your box. He’s a shithouser at best, last two weeks have only solidified

Having watched some replays from the Prem yesterday (SOME...thanks again Flo you morons). The extreme shithouser that Ethan Roots is and that he has international caps (and a POTM award at that level) means rugby is and has been very broken for a long time. Hard to be hopeful about it sometimes.

I do not love that penalty there for Reffell. Never lifted it and then fell on his face. I think the referee has let the crowd and the Tigers' whinging really get into his head. Ass refereeing across the board the first couple weekends in the Prem.

Scaz over Auz ALL DAY, TNT sport, let's keep that arrangement forever, or at least this season when she's not playing, please?

The latest babblings of TFRY are ready for your listening pleasure We are talking about RWC ‘25 and the final weekend there. The opening round of Prem Rugby and a whole lot more, including our admiration for Portia Woodman-Wickliffe (see clip).

If not, we will look to fill their spots starting in Round 3 as we want to have competitive leagues with no easy outs week to week. Share the word rugby fam if you could. Cheers 🍻 -J&B

Not sure what it’s going to take for Exeter to just pull the pin on Baxter. The one common denominator in their last few seasons (all of which were 🗑) is him (and Slade). #NORvEXE

No matter today’s outcome, Exeter won’t see true progress until they can Baxter. Someone needs to find the pictures he’s holding on to #NORvEXE

Imagine my disappointment to find out Roots isn’t in this game… 🤣🤣🤣

Leal, take the hint. It's not the first time you've had both teams in your ear to the point of annoyance. The common focal point is you. Suck less or just deal with the players on your case forever. #NEWvSAR

It's that special Thursday edition of Free Bad Advice from #TFRY as we kick of the season of Fantasy (and rugby). This is the debut of Start or Sit with picks from @grumpyoldprop.bsky.social and @jarrodoftfry.bsky.social for both Superbru and our friends at Draft XV. Comment below for Q&A. LETS GO!

It's SEASON 8! Holy shit, how did we get here? It's the debut episode for this season of those American rugby knuckleheads. Tune in as we talk the state of US Rugby, have a look at RWC 25 & preview the @premrugby.bsky.social season! Find pod in the link in profile or wherever you get your podcast

France made it interesting, but the Irish make it more so if they’re in this game. Thanks Tempo 🙄

Canada get their shot at what we presume will be England.

OH CANADA

I hope Canada have Rouet locked down for the next cycle.

Pelletier probably lucky to not get pinged for no arms, arms being out for the ball saved her.

Not over yet

Tempest can shut up unless called upon. Shouldn't be near this game anyway.

Tempo can see that but can't pick up a bite that's clear and obvious? GTFO World Rugby

This is a mountain for the defending champs to climb now

This has been fun...unless you're from NZ.

Super SOPH!

Oh my

This is absolutely wild

It was a pleasure as always to join my great mate @jarrodoftfry.bsky.social for a live Draft XV Prem draft episode of @fantasyrugbyyanks.bsky.social podcast. Have a listen if if you are interested in our ramblings as we build our squads for the new season... buff.ly/6YGO2RS

We have a couple spots left in our Draft XV Podcast league for URC. We are in public search so find us there, BUT links are below to make it easier for all. Happy drafting friends! URC: www.draftxv.com/invite/Q3SP27

Truly cannot believe we managed to qualify. Frankly we played so badly and this team picked was less than ideal to the 10th power. The whole was greater than the sum of the parts so well done to the boys. I'm obviously very down on the Eagles Men's team. I don't know why we give 14 the time of day

I’m honestly not 100% convinced France deserves to go on. On the other hand Ireland really needed to do more to kill this game off. Theron had an impact and if I was wearing green I might be a little upset with some of her decisions, especially in the big moments. Ireland really needed more though

As a total neutral, Theron has been bad. Not been consistent at all and been very inaccurate.

WE WANT YOU The Fantasy Rugby Yanks have 4 total spots open for two private leagues in Prem Rugby Draft XV (an official pod league will also open for both Prem and URC). Please reach out to @jarrodoftfry.bsky.social or @grumpyoldprop.bsky.social to put your hand up. It'll be first come first serve.

Rugby refereeing still ass. No idea what horseshit law Tempo was citing on that one. Dude just needs to leave the sport entirely, pulls average referees down to bad and good referees down to average.

Without a dog in this fight, I can confirm, Theron is a bit lost at scrum time. Still unsure what she’s looking at.

Wow! Just wow!

Only thing stopping this game from truly being great…folks wearing the white kits (and TMO). Been some poor decisions all around.
