Trying to think when int past the bookies would have had England favourites against NZ. Maybe only 2002 when they left the forwards all at home? 2003 was in NZ, so conceivably NZ were favourites.

On the positive side I thought it was good that we were able to get the ball to our wings a few times, and get past the Irish rush defence that has caused us a lot of trouble. Good to be able to bring on Sititi and DMac from the bench. Still not sure about Jordan at fullback, he seems to have lost h...

NZ just took control in the second half. Thought Tupaia looked really good. Lotsa mistakes, but we move on,
Time for Ireland to ditch their old guys imho

I thought the handicap would be higher. I almost always bet on whoever is playing the ABs on the handicap, but have gone for them to win by more than 6 tonight. Well see if this is just misplaced confidence, it has been kind of a strange season so far

What has Richie Mo done in his 50 or so tests for NZ that people think he is the answer to all our problems?
Frankly I think if we could get the forwards working better then both Beauden and DMac would look a heck of a lot better.

Pub
That may well be the solution
Spend that 30 Quid on a few pints and enjoy the atmosphere.

Gonna have to be an Irish pub, so let's hope they have a sense of humour

I'm hoping the reports they are going to raise income tax are correct. It is pretty much impossible politically to cut spending these days, and something needs to be done. They should really get rid of the triple lock for pensions, but the elderly all vote so that is a no no. Eh? Feel free to pay m...

Get rid of refugees, immigrants on benefits, get the indigenous out of their sole chariots, then we can set about pensioners. So far down my list of priorities. I don't want to pay more tax for these feckless tossers. Well with the declining birthrate and anti-immigrant sentiment I think paying for...

In a letter to the Prime Minister on Wednesday evening, she wrote: “We were not aware that a licence was necessary.” But on Thursday evening, emails released by Downing Street showed detailed discussions about a licence between her husband Nicholas Joicey, a senior civil servant, and estate agent H...

But there is a danger that the growing financial empire is being built on increasingly rocky foundations. All the money that has poured in over the last decade is being invested on the back of the All Blacks consistent excellence and their uniquely impressive win record. They have won 76 per cent o...

Can we have the Dublin one too please. Still puzzled how sexton got away with his tackle on BB.

I don't think Ireland have improved since we beat them last year. Should be a win for the ABs imho.

Geoffrey Hinton seems like a bit of a nut these days.

Have the ABs finally shaken off their "can't score in the second half" hoodoo?

Or was it just that the Wallabies discipline was incredibly poor?

Any of you Letby is innocent nutters watching the channel 4 documentary? Course you aren’t Have you read the private eye stuff on it? They have a post-documentary article in the latest issue.

ABs still look terrible, just Aus looking even worse. Strange game really.

Listening to radio 4 just now and they were interviewing new graduates who can't find a job. One had done a degree in politics, and one was doing a masters in philosophy.

Nope. As long as one person has a work visa then they can bring spouce and kids on dependent visas. Up until recently students and also refugees were also doing this. As mentioned already, most of thy work visas granted during the last 5 years were for low paid, low skilled jobs. It doesn't take ro...
