Eat your heart out Wilkinson. Sweet kick in these conditions.

It wasn't yesterday either.

7 tries.
This game is very different.
Yes, it is.

Both teams putting the 'foot' in football. Love this historical re-enactment stuff.

Not a dig but it feels like just a week ago, pundits were pretty confident in calling an all Northern Hemisphere Semifinals. Pundits?

France looking clueless and static in those last few minutes, as if they could find some moment of individual brilliance from a standing start... rugby doesn't usually work that way, and less so in the professional era. Great work by South Africa to control a tight game but they need to tighten up. ...

Suggested objective choke criteria: more highly ranked than opponent, doubly so if you are the world #1 :thumbup: had beaten the opponent in most of their recent games, home and away :thumbup: had general good form with a string of wins against all opponents :thumbup: knock-out game of the RWC :thum...

Ireland choke of a generation That's harsh. Ireland played it bloody well Ireland are the #1 team in the world, had won 18 games in a row coming into today, had a string of wins against New Zealand who had a coach with a bad rep for peculiar choices, and during that game their opponents were down t...

This is what a choke looks like. Ireland should be proud they got to the point that they earned that tag.

gtb

A game worthy of being the Final

That is seriously impressive. 422m in one second. 12.3 metres. oops. 14.5m actually, but well off in my original mental calculation I think you're wrong again? As we were all taught to do in school we need to show workings to get full marks but your mental calculations are impressive. This assumes ...

And here's a reminder for those who clearly still don't understand our game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=box08lq9ylg One more time for those who are a little slower...

When did Rugby Union adopt League rules on forward passes? If the motion of the passer’s hands were in a backwards motion, he has complied to the law, if the receiver is behind the passer, he has complied to the law. I don't think these referees have seen their own training videos on understanding w...

Still a few games to finish off this week but looking at the strength of remaining schedule, as it is right now, it does look good for the Steelers in the AFC. Unbeaten and an easier-ish run-in in the back half of the season

Great to see football back again! The new Madden was a nice warm-up but it doesn't match up to the real thing. KC 34-20 over Houston. Loved seeing CEH going to work for the first time in the Chief's backfield. 138 yards and a TD. Combining him with Mahomes and the existing receivers as part of a fas...

After beating the All Blacks this final should have been for the taking by England. They did what the South Africans couldn't do in their pool game against NZ. Plus England were the higher ranked team. Ultimate choke.

gtb

:shock: You need to add the All Blacks to the list. They gave the Bokke a scare right at the start and got them to lift their intesnity, plus they softened up the English and sucked all the life out of them in the semi final. Eddie Jones and the Rosies had nothing left after scheming how to get past...

Actually cancelling the game prior to the day was a bit of a tit move... Yes, having 60k people and a bunch of players running around in an open roof stadium when the forecast for kickoff was 200kph+ wind and a meter of rain was way more sensible. WR can do and say what they like but there is no ch...

Chief's made some insance choices as well as being incapable of stopping plays that they knew were coming. What's even crazier is that the problems were there the week before against the Colts so it suggests that the player's just aren't buying what the coaches are training them, or the coaches didn...

Pats D looking just as brilliant as they did in the Super Bowl (admittedly against terrible opponents). Only gave up 105 yards total offense to the Jets. The opponents may not be top tier , but they've conceded no TD's in four games, which to my limited knowledge is pretty damn good . This. Their o...

Decent movie that does a good job of wrapping up largest part of the Avengers arc. Certainly did a better job than Return of the King did for the LotR movies with its large battles followed by incessant good-byes. Endgame risked that but ended up managing it well.

so, first chance to make a pick in this year's draft and the Chiefs pick a WR. Hill is obviously gone.

Grades for all the picks here. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/283 ... ick#slide0

A few 'A' grades in there but plenty ranked lower.

Is it my imagination or has Goodell not really been booed the way he has in previous years? Crowds getting slack.

At least the Raiders have picks tonight. Once the Chiefs traded away the 1st-rounder with the 'Hawks all the fun was taken out of the day for me. Tomorrow the fun will start for us and I'm just looking for secondary help early on... and, maybe, the Chiefs will start using arrest records as a key inp...

... and since the Colts are the #6 seeds the Chiefs would be the lucky team to face the Colts if they keep this up :( x( As a Chief's fan I felt a shiver run through my spine went the commentator said something along the line of "if the Texans front 7 don't get to Luck he's picking their secondary a...

Hard to tell if the Brown's are going to be better after the coaching change. It was the Chief's they played so the scoring on both sides of the ball wasn't a big surprise.. As for the later game the Saints are looking pretty good at half-time v Rams. Is this an indication that when their pass rush ...

Finally reading it now... The detractors have no answer as to how a country with a population of only 4.6 million (with 150,727 registered rugby players), is so good. This is particularly impressive when compared to Canada’s 27,512 registered and 156,571 total rugby players, Ireland’s 101,922/190,4...

Great 4th quarter performance by Patrick Mahomes. Still not certain the the Chief's are contenders, basically because their secondary sucks, at least until Berry returns. Picking off Bortles that many times doesn't count although it was part of what won us the game. The pass rush will keep us in ga...

In news that every NFL fan in the world saw coming, the Patsies just traded for Josh Gordon. Dunno about every NFL fan. The bookies had Eagles as the most likely target! They even had the Chiefs at about fourth favorite as if they need anymore offensive firepower! But the Patriots clearly do need s...

Steelers v Chiefs game is excellent. Amazing game and not a game for the fan who loves a good defence. I think if the Chiefs had got that fumble return to make it 28-0 at the end of the first quarter the game would have been different but the holding penalty seemed to lift the Steelers - "it can't ...

b) How on earth would anyone have coped with Suh, Donald, Brockers and Mack rushing the QB. Reminds me of my current Madden 19 MUT pass rush, although I have JJ Watt at LE (93) and Reggie White at RE (92) on either side of Michael Strahan (92). It's hard to work out which one I prefer to control on...

Wonder if the Irish holdings are from the many US companies who have domiciled in Ireland for their European operations and are getting a return while they wait for a tax holiday to bring the money back to the US?
