Where you aware that Sale also “ advise “ boys entering ther academy at 16, of the “ right “ schools to go to, that would “ assist “ them with their place at the academy ?

All of the schools are fee paying schools.

It’s as bad if not worse than footy academies.

My lads own words - “ at least the lads in footy academies deserve to be there, not which school you go to or who your dad knows “

Didn’t realise it’s that bad. That’s absolutely shocking but not surprising either.

Do Sale still send scouts out around the north west leagues? Scouting actual talent? Sounds like something never changes.

There was a lad we played with for the Wids who went to Lymm school and got off special treatment and fast tracked into Lancashire set up. He was very average

They sent token scouts out to cup games, who for all intents and purposes are there to watch the lads who were already at Sale

Nearly all of the lads who are in the academy drop out of club rugby, as they‘re too scared of getting injured and getting canned.

It’s quite surreal, as you can have a non Sale lad, run riot in a game and they just ignore them !!!

Just had a bet. Uruguay handicap bet. + 51 points start. At 11/10. I dont know much about rugby but plus 51 points seems a lot.

They are going to lose a man soon. And come 60 minutes, it's going to be very hard work against a very heavy France. I hope your bet wasn't massive.
 
Uruguay score again! 😲

Edit: After TMO review...
