Re: U.S. politics thread and Joe Biden-the Ronan O'Gara of U.S. Presidents
Is cadet Bonespurs really about to trouser a few billion after selling Truth Social? If he does, I will forever mothball my claims that he is a sh1t businessman.

Re: Georgia invite Wales for a not-a-6N-playoff fixture
All good points, Pumita, but there’s no way any other teams are getting into the 6 Nations. It’s like saying that Australasian golf deserves a place at the Ryder Cup. They either sack off the 6N and replace it with a more inclusive, wider European tournament or they leave their ancient, much-beloved...

Re: Georgia invite Wales for a not-a-6N-playoff fixture
No it wasn't. :lol: It was basically LRZ, Not Toby and Liam in the XV we were picking this 6N. This was the game where we rested Biggar, Gaz Davies, Captain Jac and others ahead of the Oz match. Georgia's lineout and scrum crumbled under moderate pressure, and they kept chucking it about and conced...

Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread
No, but I see Earl as more of a 7. However, I’m not sure Earl would get to run with the ball as often at 7. It seems foolish to stop playing him at 8 when he’s clearly enjoying it, too. The point is that it would be exciting to see a Lump/Earl/Mercer back row. Wise? Practical? Feasible? Likely? Mayb...
