How did that go backwards?

grimoald

Good kick, but brilliantly executed by Keenan to take and give so quickly.

grimoald

No where near straight, but that is consistent with Munster getting away with ones too.

He has to stop and turn towards his outside man before he passes, it is awful.

There is no f**king way the ball was out there when Fardy went for it.

grimoald

Wonderful kick

grimoald

Fardy never released? That’s baffling

Haley always makes too many errors.

The media/twitter etc has quickly suggested that these meal parcels are supposed to feed a child for a week, rather than compensate the parent for 5 school meals. They've also assumed that 5 meal parcels are supposed to over 10 meals. It's unfortunate, because it distracts from the main point, whic...

I take it you've been involved in international negotiations, perhaps attended meetings or been involved in drafting communiques? I think your analogy is hugely flawed. The EU battleship in the end seemed just as vulnerable as the UK Gunboat when it matters. Perhaps the Uk is a battleship of it's o...

but that the risks of leaving would be not worth the costs to lots of people, and importantly that in a global/geopolitical context we will have more impact on addressing the big challenges facing the world as an influential part of a big bloc* than trying to do so as Canada.

Obviously anyone who says the EU weren't also playing politics is a moron. The point however, is that 'remoaners' with their project fear completely predicted the politics that would be at play and knew there was no 'better' deal in line with what Johnson, Gove, Hannan et al claimed was possible. No...

It is a silly situation to find ourselves in as completely unnecessary. Speak for yourself. The UK wanted out and have managed to negotiate a deal which most said would be impossible. The new status is the right relationship for an independent UK and a European Bloc that wants to continue down the ...

:roll: You'd have to explain how UK's objectives of getting tariff and quota free access to the Single market without being in EU's regulatory orbit and taking control of UK waters (after a transition period) were really dumb, impractical and short-sighted. It's choosing those particular objectives...

Keep trading V signs and reading the insightful articles that the Times, Torygraph and Mail spin out. Sunlit uplands and clear sailing. Congrats you wily Brits. Stitched us up good and proper.

3 weeks for tom wood. Wonder how long the ref and tmo get What? Why? It was a rough clear out. It was reckless because even though he didn't target VDF's head there was no way he could have avoided hitting it. Head contact is a no no unless it's completely accidental. Think he might have gotten awa...

FFS Haley, play smart. Was great rugby before then.

grimoald

How was Farrell offside if a knock on and no ruck?

Making up bullshit to defend his mistake.

Billy is still an incredibly effective rugby player, he's just lost some of the pace/explosiveness that made him properly elite 4 years ago. In tight exchanges with the Boks he'd still be offering more than everyone else available. Though in terms of back-row make up we're going to need at least 2 d...

For those saying 'they knew what they were getting into', the focus on concussions (and its impacts both long and short-term) hasn't been around for very long - Thompson was playing in the 90s for example. Yeah ex-players from previous eras will all tell stories about the physical toll on their body...

grimoald

That was bullshit tbf. 2 knockons, inc before the last pen. Farrell knocked on

POM is on the wing as he's one of the few forwards we have with the skill level to do things out wide (and despite being slow he's still quicker than most of the rest!).

Dane Coles is always on the wing off multiphase for the ABs for the same reason (though he is quicker and more skillful!).

grimoald

Almost a great finish tbf.

As Horgan is saying though, it is crazy the amount of isolated carries we've had. Against better teams we'd have a couple of players making dominant tackles and winning our ball.

grimoald

Ref called it so fair enough, but again it was never a tackle.

grimoald

Jammy there.

Ross B in a nutshell there, walks sideways towards Herring before passing it, so when Herring receives it he gets both tacklers.

grimoald

Fucking cunt Brown.

Earls should have got the offload away, ball in two hands facing his support, just flick it up and it was a run in.

Hogg tackled him immediately ffs - contact was while Earls was in the air.

grimoald

Had to be a penalty for Hogg killing it there not allowing Earls to release on the floor.

grimoald

Lazy from Herring.

grimoald

I think that might have been forward, but POM has had a better game at 7 today than any of our 7s have had since SOB and Leavy.

grimoald

Doris very lucky not to be pinged for off feet before.

It was never on there.

Agree, Scotland defended that really well despite some interesting movement from us. He had to just truck it up.

grimoald

Almost as wank by Ryan there as Doris earlier.

grimoald

Whatever about the card, Aki had an age to pass that and he didn't. Try blown. It's actually Sexton who's holding the ball too long without commiting men - just like there where by delaying the pass to Henshaw, we've given up the opportynity at taking the outside space. He's not committing anyone e...

grimoald

f**king horrendous ruck protection again, moronic by Doris.

I guess Murray was taken out after his kick which slowed him down.

edit - can only guess, not trying to blindly defend, but can't comprehend anything otherwise.

Not rocket science. Why the hell do we seem incapable of it?

Having fly-halfs who play a walking game doesn't help. They've two pivots attacking the line.

grimoald

His knee was down there so it was a fair call.

But the previous one wasn't down, and the ref called too early, so by being shit and not calling it, Henderson thinks he can rip.
