So, we lost to mighty Italy and just managed to beat the dregs, hardly cause for jollity

Wales, as a nation, defines itself with its results v England.

If England start like they did v NZ and Ireland it will be 30 points to England. If England start like they did v SA and France it will be an one score game. Pivac taking a gamble on the form of players returning from injury and Eddie still playing silly buggars in the back row. Good to see the new ...

While he didn't change the outcome of the match I thought he was sloppy at times and not transparent (as usual). Some things come to mind: - Quick to ping England from holding on, even when SA had already won the ball. Then Itoje holds up Etzebeth and gets no penalty? - First scrum Marler came on, ...

Well done to the Boks, thoroughly deserved their victory today.

In sport, generally, you get what you deserve. Both sides got what they deserved today.

The Ginger Jedi

Surely the most important aspect was that the try was given. Therefore there had to be a clear and obvious reason to disallow the try? There was nothing clear and obvious about the replay therefore the try should have stood. Of course it's irrelevant but it would have been the cherry on the top if t...

Hard lines guys. I know how much it meant to win that game. This tournament can still be historic with a W in the next game.

The Ginger Jedi

I chuckled at the Perenara comment that he "wasn't playing in the premier league". Although the same player rushed the Touch judge screaming for a no arm tackle from Slade, the rugby equivalent of waving an imaginary yellow card. Leave the officials get on with officiating, the game needs to lose s...

He is as hard as granite. I love the fact he still has a Wigan accent even though he's lived in the South for so long. Absolutely core to everything Eddie Jones' England side is about.

The Ginger Jedi

Good luck today, I hope you get the result you deserve.

The Ginger Jedi

Not much to add. To a man England played superbly. The speed England cleared the rucks was at times astonishing, especially in that first quarter. Jones got his selection spot on and Hansen didn't, in Hansens defence he gets these things more right than wrong. It needed a monumental performance by E...

The Ginger Jedi

Like most rugby fans really looking forward to this one. Unfortunately I'll be in the air for the second half and then the small matter of a three hour drive home, trying to avoid hearing the result, to watch the second. I expect the All Blacks to win by ~7. If this England side played this New Zeal...

The Ginger Jedi

Cricket has three aspects. Batting, bowling and fielding. Kiwis bowled and fielded better by virtue of taking 10 wickets. Batting was even. So what part of the game did England actually win? Your mates may be over the moon, England holding the cup...but they can't ever say that NZ were beaten decis...

The Ginger Jedi

I disagree that having a tie in a world Cup final is a fair result. Maybe the methodology about how you determine the winner might need looking at, but there needs to be a winner. Also bear in mind that this was an extreme outlier. How many ODI's go to a Super over, and how many of those then end u...

The Ginger Jedi

Tough on the Black Caps, likeable side with an excellent captain.
Two sides who were supreme with the ball and in the field. A Rizla paper width between them. No one deserved to lose.
Stokes OMG.

The Ginger Jedi

All the best to both teams. The Black Caps are a likeable team with an excellent captain. Lets hope the final, like the semis, is won by winning the game as opposed to one side blowing it.
For the record I'd still rather win The Ashes.

The Ginger Jedi

Probably a bit old school for most on here and maybe not relevant for girls but this is the advice I've given my kids. If you're being bullied you try to reason with the bully. If that doesn't work report them to your teacher. If that doesn't work we'll talk to the school. If that doesn't work you h...

Oh well. What's next.

After GOT finished HBO aired the trailer for Watchmen, looks awesome.

The Ginger Jedi

Satisfactory if unspectacular finish to the show. As discussed this season has been disappointing, none of the high points of The Red Wedding, Hardhome or The Battle of the Bastards. The producers were on a hiding to nothing - if Martin hasn't been able to finish it how the hell could they do a good...

England are rightly favourites for the tournament but I don't think they'll win it. Unfortunately they have a batting disaster in them every dozen games or so. If it comes in the knockout stages then it's all over. Hopefully it doesn't come in the West Indies match @ The Rose Bowl as I've got ticke...

Apologies for the thread jack.
A friend has two tickets for the final for sale, PM me if interested or know anyone who is.
I'm going so can meet up on Friday or Saturday for the exchange.

A Primary School teacher called Mike Hitchens, just an incredible teacher and rugby coach. I continue to see him 35 years after I've left the school, still a legend and continues to support the local rugby club.

As a long suffering Portsmouth fan I was at Wembley yesterday for the EFL Cup Final.

I love the BBC. Happy to pay. I love how the eight call them lefties and the left call them Tories..... shows what a great job they do for sensible middle ground people like myself.

Real nice of him to finally apologise for 2007 Wayne Barnes doesn't regret a lot about his rugby refereeing career. But missing that forward pass in the 2007 Rugby World Cup quarterfinal is one of the things he wished he did get right. The English referee missed a crucial forward pass in the leadup...
