Until that mad tw@ sent a load of German mercenaries and then forgot to pay them / supply them with booze it was part of the Empire.

Have fun kids, and remember you're probably earning more than a criminal aid solicitor (not that I am one)

Poaches / Invitations, what difference? hawk, Which of those are wrong? I mean, I know the Suffolk Flutey's but I think that they just had daughters. If you limit it to the team now you've got Barritt, Vunipola x2 and that's it, so only 1/5 of the team are CWI, but give the new coach time and I'm su...

Word on the street is, and this is really gaining momentum, that Sam Burgess had signed a pre-agreement with RFU guaranteeing him world cup selection if he came across to union. This also ties in with Eastmond's account of Lancaster telling him he was omitted against Stuart's better judgment and th...

The fact she isn't in jail is nothing short of a disgrace. This. At 21 she's an adult, and part of what separates kids from adults is knowing right from wrong. This is wrong. Wrong wrong wrong. But to be clear, don't necessarily think jail time, but some form of punishment. Sorry, totally misread t...

I really enjoyed the program in a 'I am utterly f--ked from work and will watch anything in a knackered state' but was thinking there were some things that could have really been dealt with in a little more depth, for example the spread of sword finds, mapped vs time and location & etc. particularl...

Stereotypes save an awful lot of time don't they?

Can there be a little balance about the performance of England under Lancaster.

In the last four 6N against Ireland and Wales combined England have scored a total of 7 tries.

Gentleman, if that is success then I despair as to your vision of failure.

11/12 for me too I missed out on the beach one.

I'm not sure, I thought it was for agreement between the coaches?

BTW where's everyone staying? I'm stopping in Bristol.

What are they going to do with the roof if it's pi55ing it down?

What's the view, if it's wet would we (I mean Ireland fans) rather have the roof open or closed?

Sloper

I am involved in the administration of a rugby side. My son is one of the players eligible to play for the side. He is somewhat competent. I can likely influence the selections to get him a spot in the run-on side. Should I do this? He is likely not going to get picked if I do not pressure the coac...

The British, so I suppose the thread is just another example of British arrogance.

Sorry I forgot there are some colonial types around.

Well apart from the fact we do, <what we lack is a codified constitution> the best evidence is to be seen in the debate re the 2nd Amendment to the US constitution.

I love France but f*cking hate Paris.

The NRA is a despicable lying piece of shit of an organisation. Agreed. I went off Charlton Heston big time for his involvement with the organisation. Their stance on there not being any form of gun control whatsoever flies in the face of the evidence on the impact of its introduction. I honestly c...

One from left field, Brian Moore.

I say this as an Ireland fan, Moore would be sensational as England Coach.

Down to 8th in world rankings. ..England's lowest ever position....a fitting legacy for wankaster.

It's incredible how people create storms out of a tea cup, with articles on why the coaches should be hanged and how English rugby has died, etc.. FFS, England just lost a game vs Wales. It's more or less always been a 50/50 game (except in the golden years under Woodward), it's not like it's anyth...

Correction, England haven't won a GS for 13 years; or rather cycles of the 6N.

Since 2004 inclusive England have finished in the following positions.

1st Once.
2nd Six times
3rd four times
4th twice.

Picture the scene, Andy Farrell approaches the referee ranting and raging. The ref shrugs his shoulder and asks the TMO to find someone who speaks Northin.

Time to through the boook at them.

Still nothing. We lost a warm up to France in 2003 and won the World Cup. #good omen #ballstowales.

Bollocks. It's pretty clear the two cannot work together. It's one thing having 'creative dissonance' and another having blokes at each other's throat. I'm not saying the best players always make the best coaches but exactly what did Farrell Snr achieve compared to Catt (a well respected member of ...

It's a good job the average poorly educated England fan can't spell schadenfreude.

With a bit of luck that's blown the cobwebs away and we can move on beat France, the Argentinians, the Welsh and see what happens in the final.

If England want to win then they need some one who is a winner and drives performance. Dave Brailsford would be that man, he would select three great coaches and all the right people around the back office and deliver. What England need is management that manages rather than a set up that barely cop...
