And that used by Iran prior to this attack.

So England's dominance before 2019 was all just a happy coincidence while Canada is well known for their professional women's teams. Dominance? Before 2019 you do realise France were the reigning 2018 champions and England had won only 1 6 Nation in the past 6 years at that point? England have the ...

Unfortunately, it's an easy conclusion to jump to, and sadly, it was my first thought as well. I did, however, have the sense to a. keep it to myself, and b. Remind myself that it could quite easily be the situation that it was, ie. the act of one deranged individual. It was in 2021, that a man, in...

Think you've got Sale confused with someone else. All looseheads (Rodd, McIntyre, Harrison and Onasanya) and tightheads (Schonert, Opoku-Fordjour and Harper) in the squad are EQP. That being said, we did just sign Willgriff John on an emergency loan as Schonert is injured, so there is one foreign p...

The word gurrier in dublin slang is a loosely translated to a young person who generally behaves like a little shit. In French guerrier is a warrior. Little shit warrior. Aptly named. The earliest known usage of gurrier is from the 1930s, whereas gurry, a brawl, had been in use in Scotland since th...

Ah, I see. Once they get their little islamic states they won't want to kill them anymore? I'm sure they will remove that pesky language from their organizational charters.

Loving this osprey v sale game. This is the type of rugby they're trying to outlaw with their new fvcking law changes.
Ospreys are massively under pressure, but won't allow sale to scrum and are fvcking every ruck up. Great stuff, and a well deserved lead at half time

Questions to be asked again about french commitment to euro tournaments. Shit to have to go to SA to play a European game, though

message #2527204

Fantastic stuff from the French!.. But where have these players been for the rest of the tournament? Some of the English girls will be a bit disappointed with their individual skills today.

At least have the decency to factor some genuine reasons, like COVID for example, rather than spouting rocketz-like bollocks.
Tickets prices are ridiculous, England are playing bad rugby, but hq is always, always full.

You're wrong. The crowds at Twickenham are still very white and becoming older. Adult Playing numbers are still through the floor. The brain damage thing is progressively f**king the game.

England couldn't keep playing that way without the game dying. What does that actually mean? It means he may well have chosen to play some rugby, but if he didn't- he would have been told to. You won't keep the game alive in England playing the absolute bilge England were. The game isn't growing an...

Which it didn’t. Well of course ... it did. Not if you compare the progression across different regimes.

I love the scrum and maul. They’re great and are unique to our game. 1st let’s ignore the maul because there’s nothing wrong with it. In my view moving the maul forwards again is using it. 2nd the scrum is also great. I just don’t want to see three reset scrums take over 2mins. 20 seconds to from a...

Because it will ruin the economy? How are 10 million workers going to support 65 million elderly and who will run the hospitals? Can't the economy just shrink or grow accordingly?

Pretty sure England made their fans more happy in the last two games than the previous dour 18. Rugby is a game that deserves to be played positively. Under the current laws.
