I hope England put in a somewhat respectable performance, and can then raise their level next week against whichever exhausted team makes it out of the other quarterfinal.

Very sorry to hear this, he was a great bloke, an old school Bordie.

Lovely kick.

Long gone are the days when a top boxing match would get 15m+ viewers in the UK e.g. Bruno, Mcguigan Aye, I do wonder how many would tune in if AJ was on the BBC and all his fights had been shown. Not near 15m but a lot more than see them now. Back in the good old days there was a ton of it on prop...

IF you can find a way to see Hamilton, lottery or otherwise, it will be worth every penny that you spend. It is absolutely amazing and it does live up to the hype. The British comedy play "The Play That Goes Wrong" is on in NY now, and it is hysterical, and not expensive or hard to get in to. I woul...

Jim Broadbent to replace Diana Rigg is a reasonable trade.

Diana Rigg was so damn good, a real pity she has gone.

How about they bring in Judy Dench for some other old bird character? She would be immense.

Feels as though they built up Dany to have this all powerful army and navy, with the dragons as her nuclear option. Then the last two episodes have seen her forces diminished, putting her in a situation where she will have to unleash the dragons. However she will want/need to use them to attack Cers...

That will be in the spinoff show "GOT - Agriculture, Food & Beverage Manufacturing", to be shown on Discovery Channel.

No stage on Mont Ventoux, which is a pity, but understandable given the 50th anniversary of Simpson's death is this year.

93 was Ben Clarke. 89 - Mike Teague 2001 was BOD surely. Agree on 1993 and 2001. Teague was excellent in 89 but the 2 and 3 test performances were down in a big way to Richards and Andrew, neither of whom made the original squad. Ditto Guscott of course, though his omission was hardly a reason for ...

Not a very UK name what passport does he hold ?
Ask his Mum.

I believe her surname is Wright and she hails from Basildon.

A few comments about Ben Teo being underwhelming, and not being an attacking threat. I'm not sure that I've been watching the same person if this is the case.

The fact that he got on the plane was the odd decision.

If the forecast is as moist as it appears to be, will we see 80 minutes of up and unders and jumper stuffing, and a 9-3 scoreline?

Its so much fun watching the implosion! Thank feck there is only 3 scots there, wouldn’t want too many coming back deflated after this tour!

Assuming Biggar is not injured I would have him on the bench. I don't think that Sexton should be anywhere apart from sitting in the stands in a blazer. Rory Best should be sitting next to him. That's very sharing of you. They have already had their go of beating NZ, let's give some of the other la...

You won't beat NZ by running into them.

And I'm normally a big fan of Henshaw.
They did in November

Sexton still remembered how to play rugby in November.

Could Halfpenny have done more for the Ioane or West tries? Too slow for the first and didn't get within a metre of making the tackle on the second. No longer seems to have the speed that he used to have. Still a reliable goal kicker, but approaching the stage where his inclusion is a bit like Dust...

Front Row - Both looseheads were decent, but Marler certainly made an impact when he came on. Owens was having a good game, and we went downhill once Rory came on to have his traditional choke. Cole was good, Sinkler less of an impact than last game but didn't appear to fudge anything up. Second Row...

I think that the neutrals will be favoring Exeter. They certainly are a wonderful example of how a club can succeed by building a strong foundation from the roots upwards, contrasting with some of the teams that have just hurled money at the problem. Wasps are an interesting situation. There was so ...

So four years after the fall of civilisation a society of trash living weirdos who can't speak English emerges? Also not one single immigrant has survived so I can see why DAC likes it. Well to be fair, half the cast are English or Aussie, but the only one speaking in English accent is the King, wh...

Eh? He's got one cap. Unless you meant with reference to his history, in which case it's third if you count a nasty elbow drop on an opposition player as potentially career ending
OK

Callum Clark is a psycho.

Thoughts from the brain trust on this past weekend? Anyone enhance, or ruin their candidacy?

There has been some mention of Ashton and Cipriani hurting their chances, but I personally never had them in contention.

I like the appointments, and I like the way they have two squads of refs working in rotation. It is very important to have teams of three refs working in combination and becoming familiar with each other. These three will do a great job.

If Wasps win on Saturday, they'll play the semi final in ... wait for it... Franklin's Gardens.

Always going to be a tough one to predict, teams change so much over the course of two years.
