Has the French player that tried to eat the Irish girl mid-game been banned yet?

There were 3 Man U fans outside my house yesterday. I heard all this noise and saw they were playing football with a poor little hedgehog. I was about to call the RSPCA when the hedgehog went 1-0 up.

Oh good, slade's back. And Freddie lives. JVP guaranteed to play. 23 wingers but no sleightholme. 12 centres but none of them particularly superlative. Decent 23 in there. But Steve. You are such a miserable a*hole. Go and watch football. It’s a good squad. Coaching team is now very good. Borthwick...

England not looking like world beaters so far. Very messy.

terryfinch

Irish scrum might be the difference. Wind has dropped too. They might hold on. Ireland to win a knock out match for the first time?

terryfinch

The biggest compliment I can make for the ABs is that they remind me of the current Wales squad. Lots of huff and puff but no bollocks.

Worcester Warriors have a pre-season game against Bath next Saturday. I went to get two tickets to find it is sold out, along with the following three Championship fixtures!!!! Huge enthusiasm from the city for their return.

I’m struggling to find a political home atm. I think Brexit was a crazy decision and blame the Conservatives for allowing it to happen. Also Boris’ “fudge business” was the end of the serious Tory party in my view. I think Labour/ SNP/PC/Greens/Libdems/Corbyn have no idea how to make business thrive...

Apparently the utterly useless Starmer tried to sack Ed Miliband from Energy, but he refused to go. This continuing lack of leadership will just encourage the lunatic Labour backbenches to vote down anything sensible he now tries to do. He should call an election as he is screwed.

Who will they get in the QFs? Can an Irish side win a RWC knockout game?

Ireland playing very predictable rugby. Have they been coached by Andy Farrell?

NZ racing up and squeezing the life out of them. Either keep it tight and run up the middle or dink over the top. Have

This stuff is so tedious. Get on with it!

When the answer is David Lammy, you know this Labour government are in deep sh*t.

terryfinch

Great finish. Epic match.

terryfinch

Very tall order to win away but I feel Donald is the more experienced, smarter captain. Going to be a brutal atmosphere.

terryfinch

That was just wonderful. Joyous.

Is every Bok doping? Is it a sustained, medically supervised, Lance Armstrong type operation?

terryfinch

Someone told me that steroids are often provided to school kids in SA who play rugby. Is that right?

terryfinch

NZ playing awful rugby. It is eye-wateringly unpleasant to watch.

terryfinch

NZ just keeping the #1 spot warm for England who convincingly beat the Argies away twice with a B team a couple of weeks ago.

terryfinch

Honestly thought Oz would win that until JOC missed his conversion. They were the better side.

terryfinch

The Bored’s take is: - Not AF next time - Shouldn’t be a coach of a 6Ns team - Needs to have Lions experience - Shouldn’t pick players out of form and old Curry didn’t have form and he was close to your best. Anyway, who are a few top tier coaches that meet your criteria? Rassie Townsend (assuming ...

Reports coming out that Ferrari have been deliberately sabotaging Lewis’ car! This from engineers on the inside. Has there ever been a better funded, totally useless organisation?

Putin continuing to run rings round Trump I see. He really is Putin’s little poodle.

I've just watched the game for the first time. Wallabies were superb. Their speed of thought and superior fitness were amazing. Some brilliant tries. I expect Boks to stick the ball up the jumper and keep to ten man rugby next week. They looked spent after 30 minutes and their backs looked very weak...

What an incredible player and bloke! He is my favourite non-English player of all time. Captained two RWC winning sides, hugely talented player and a really good bloke.

Henry Slade FFS.... England Men’s head coach Steve Borthwick has today announced the 25 players to have been awarded enhanced Elite Player Squad (EPS) contracts for the 2025/26 season. The contracts form part of the Men's Professional Game Partnership helping to ensure optimal preparation for the E...

terryfinch

Such a shit idea. Presumably the only way other players will break into the squad is via injury then. There should be no more than about 5 or 10 of these. Not such a shit idea if Borthers has control over these players in terms of workload, fitness training, playing position and so on. We have stru...

Don’t think the tour enhanced Andrew Porters reputation. Apart from that

Any coach will show the pictures of Porter at 90 degrees to where he should be at every ref briefing. He will be pinged off the park.

I’d much prefer Gregor to be honest. If and when England win the RWC then Borthers should have a go.

terryfinch

In my view he shouldn’t… - Scraped through against Waslabies - Would have lost to NZ or SA - Didn’t produce much great rugby, despite opposition - Game plan was uninspired - Favoured players that were not in form, just because he knew them - Didn’t seem to get the players fired up - Didn’t pick the ...

Did Andy Farrell do enough?

The problem is more with Porter. He will be penalised every scrum now, after this tour.

If I was PM and inherited the economy in its current state, I'd consider the following: - Reduce corporation tax to 15% for all companies (big and small). We need businesses to want to set up and thrive here. - Increase age for free prescriptions to be in line with state pension. - Introduce means t...

Why are the Irish so mediocre at sports and particularly rugby in that case?

Jorgensen is worth a shout for Oz along with Skelton. It has to be Curry but I just cannot do it because he is a massive wit kant. Should not have been on the paddock for 20 minutes or more of the 1st test. Why? Too effective. Instant red card for contact in the air in Australia, apparently. What! ...
