All I can say is get off Agar's back and be a proper supporter.

Don't blame him for the ills of the boardroom, the guy's no mug and it will come good.

Thought you'd be around when we got back with your sock at the ready after a defeat.

I'm just very disappointed for the players who put absolutely everything in to that game and deserved a minimum of a share of the points. Great support there today too well done to all.

It's not so unusual.

Getting a player, especially a forward, dismissed tends to prevent the other lazy buggers in the pack bunching in the middle

Often happens Garry. Remember Wembley 94 when Shaun Edwards was sent off with over half an hour to go against the mighty Aussies?

Teams rise to the occasion especially at home with an angry crowd behind them.

Didn't think you went for statistics? You would have to take each individual game and its context. Unless you're only after the result for one reason of course.

Give over, they were down to 12 men for about ten minutes.

I would doubt it. Dont forget hes a home boycotter too.

The number of attempts to de-rail this thread so far indicate that it must be a pretty special kind of failure that Agar has achieved today



This is a rugby forum and I've asked a reasonable question about how often something like this has happened before, I'm hoping a statto or historian can help me out. Not sure what the problem is.

Cheers, I dont remember that actually as I didn't get into rugby until about '97. If you're going back to '94 for an example though it suggests it can't happen too often.

Anyone know if there's a specific stats company I could check with?, like football has OPTA?

Slightly off topic I know and a long time ago but as far as I know Agar was not coach of Aus at the time -

Attempts to derail the thread?

I look forward to the day you say one positive about the team you allegedly follow.

Tomkins sending off evened it up to 13 a side
