England move up to third in World Rugby Rankings, displacing the bogtrotters. :thumbup: Fair play to Borthwick. He is steadily building something pretty special. How did Borthwick go from the most hated coach in England to the most loved coach in a short period of time? What's his secret sauce? :P

Carreras was huge for Argentina. What a turnaround in the second half.

The squad has regularly been rotated...in fact probably too much in that we dont have key positions cemented. I would say that again, as is our curse injuries have really screwed us because we dont have the depth. Yeah this 'they are burnt out' is nonsense and only Wallabies seem to be affected by ...

Schmidt needs to sack Fisher now. Isn't he the defence and forwards coach? Possibly one of the worst assistant coaches in memory. Wallabies are bad everywhere.

I must say I am a fan of Mahmood's work. Now they need to get tougher on the legal immigration system.

The Sage' of money matters reckons labour out in 2027. He's never wrong. Who ? Buffet ? No not the real sage! Posh lad at the rugby club who's generally right about the economy.

I don't believe it. Why would the party vote for a no confidence in the government knowing that they will lose a general election. I think they'll just keep limping until the next election which sucks because it's 4 years away.
