Re: Have the NH teams peaked too early?
England have a cunning tactic, by not peaking at all.

Re: QF 3: England vs Fiji: A Half Arsed Fred
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.

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Your lads in green have done you proud, they have been an amazing team to watch.
No shame at all in losing that match yesterday, the Kiwi’s raised their level far above the way they have performed in recent years.

If NBCSportsGold is worth it then I do not mind paying five bucks a month for it.

You need to scrub the old address from the devices.
I suggest stacking them all into the dishwasher and running them through a couple of times.
They will not pick up the old router after that.
