Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread
Well. That was tremendous. Great game and so many moments when things were working.... I watched the Wibble Rugby video and thought "what are you going on about" but a lot of that was in the game. There were so many moments of improvement. The personnel changes, Feyi-Waboso, Martin, Furbank - all e...

Re: Official France vs Italy - 6 Nations Day 3
They were 22/1 Don't ask how I know. Mind you they were 7/2 at +14 so that's ok Odds on a draw? Not sure on an outright draw but it would have been big. A draw at the handicap of +26 for Italy was 16/1 so an outright draw would have been considerably higher odds than that. Was 50/1 on betfair sport...

Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread
36 had a pretty short England career, and even in that brief international career was better than he gets credit for. He tended to make mistakes, sure, but that's because he actually tried things. He was capable of being brilliant and diabolical in the same game, or even the same phase of play. I'd...

I did the Ledge in Queenstown. Huge adrenaline rush and then an overwhelming thirst for beers.

Re: Bomb Squad vs Easy Company
Obviously I’m biased but easy company is a far cooler name that ‘the bomb squad’ . I'd rather something more genteel... The Hateful Eight... The Bok Hunters. Easy company is really lame. But I guess AB forwards are not really known for their creativity. Careful with that, someone might mishear it.
