Explains a lot.

Heard that he'd lost a shit load of weight. It's no wonder he wasn't himself.

Oh well. We'll never hit the ton again in a test match.
Ref had called time off about 5mins ago and the clock kept going.

Missed that. Had the volume down for whatever shit feed I was watching.

Squidge's problem is that, like all youtubers, he has to produce content no matter what...which means a fair amount of the time he ends up inventing tactical and technical narratives that have little or no basis in fact or evidence. He can and does do some good stuff, but there's also loads of opin...

Conan is generally one of those guys that's consitently very good, even if he isn't busting tackles. Doris is the ultimate stat machine. His number of involvements/actions is just insane. Such a shame he's injured. Is there an attempted tackles missed for Lowe? Metres made through kicks, or similar,...

He’s actually the healthiest human in the history of mankind. And he got 11 holes in one the first time he ever played a round of golf. I thought that was Kim Jong Un? It's getting so hard to keep these sporting superstars separate.............. Well he's better than Kim Jong Ill. Nice

Had this "discussion" with the in-laws over the weekend. They were giving it the whole "they've broken their promises on student fees".

Willie should ignore himself? He doesn't do original thought. Worry about the what goes on in your own country in future.

Jnr is also someone you can parachute into camp and be fairly confident he'll knuckle down and work immediately.
Don't need to be minded on a long tour far from home.

Exactly. The first defender wasn't even trying to make sure it was held up.
Either way it was poor by Lowe
He scored ffs

It was a shit finish. He didn't need to try and ride the tackle that way and come back in.
Go low and hard and there'd have been no doubt. He's better than that.

Leinster hands to the wing.

Also, Finn's flakiness of the past is not an issue today.
He is the best 10 on tour by a significant distance.

There isn't a version of the multiverse where VDM gets selected for the tests ahead of the other wing options, presuming all are fit. VDM is excellent at scoring tries and breaking tackles. He is severely limited otherwise and can be managed out of a game, or at least have his impact significantly ...

Saw there that yesterday the 9th July deadline for trade talks has been pushed back another 3 weeks to the end of July.

Feels like this entire term will be a protracted series of ongoing negotiations with "deadlines" constantly being threatened and then kicked down the road. All fart and no shit.

Been pretty disappointed with Ryan, so far. Can't see him getting near a test cap on current showings, barring circumstances conspiring to gift him a chance (injuries). Absolutely love watching him play, but he really hasn't seemed to be able to impose himself at all. Did anyone really think he was...

JGP starting with Mitchell coming on as the game loosens is a tasty combo, IMO.

This is my take. He hasn't been bad or had any glaring boo-boos. Just hasn't been prominent the way he is when he's at his best.
