McKinney is a former u19 captain and England a tourist last winter. Had 3 fc centuries at age of 20 at strike rate of 72. Bats like trescothick. Perfect baz Stokes pick.

I did a poo during the haka at the weekend, and it was a smart toilet. Will the Internet police visit me now?

Stokes has definitely been riled up by the Indians crim like antics yesterday.

Saracens aren’t a liked team. Farrell was a road block to any creativity at 10. Both father and son are bullies. * plus the snobbery against their accents and Snr being a league man. Who gives a shit about sarries? So you hate earl too? Itoje? It's fvcking infantile. Wigan is league country. Both w...

Finn Smiths star has fallen in this tour so far. For England as well.

The English relationship with Farrell is fascinating. Why is he so disliked? Is Andy similarly disliked? Stifled creativity for several years after the rise of George Ford - a genuinely talented stand off. Compromised Ford by basically being a 2nd playmaker, doing all the tee kicking. During the 20...

Farrell played well, and Jones is the only centre of 4 who has put his hand up so far. Owen can play well to a very narrow set of instructions. It could actually happen!

England's bowling looking toothless again. Bashir benefiting from a lazy poor shot by Rahul. Woakes is probably being picked one season too much, and Carse is knackered - less than 20% of his deliveries are over 85mph. If England somehow win this test it will delay again the changes that need to be ...

Pollock MoM for me. The AUNZ team never really gelled. Every time they looked dangerous there was something screwed up, mostly because they looked like a scratch side. Lions can’t take too much from that and neither can the Wallaby’s. Lions showed absolutely nothing that will help Schmidt tacticall...

This thread is now full of irish blaming English players for the poor performance of Irish players.

Well rehearsed move.

Great reply.

Nothing wrong with that English back row.

I'd be surprised if both pollock and earl weren't on the bench. Control tends to go in games +65 mins these days anyway, so you may as well have a couple of good broken field runners. Contrary to the general opinion, I think curry needs a pretty poor performance on Wednesday to not be picked. I'm no...

Well done in spotting the blatant cheating

Grim all round. My one main worry with biffing Gatland was that we'd lose what little dog we still had. We haven't capitulated like that in 20 years...does not bode well for the future. To be fair Jeff, i don't think I've ever seen an England team want so much to turn a beating into a drubbing like...

English fans need to get to their transport quickly after this game. Gonna be some inbred thick taffs desperately looking for an English accent anywhere to beat up.

Being in Cardiff, they won't have to look far lol.

Free try? Thanks Wales.
