He doesnt have the kick to beat Ewan, Demarre (sp?) or Bennett at least, could nick a few WT stages this year though

Strange Mclaren put both cars on the soft. All eggs in one basket, the more riskier basket. Quite shocking how much quicker Norris was than Ricciardo. Norris looked seriously quick and aggressive, It's not shocking, at all. It's Ricciardo's second race meeting in the car and conditions were difficu...

the ease with which Hamilton knocked out a fastest lap on old tyres worn down in bad air and full on racing makes me think merc have something they are holding back with. No way of affirming that but I have a feeling. Also Hamilton got massively lucky by being given back the lap he lost when he cra...

I've seen the official photo finish on other sites and there is less than a tyre's width between Pidcock and Van Aert. What an awesome finish. Certainly looked like Pidcock took it on the TV coverage

To the cycling experts here: when the race is on a close circuit like Amstel Gold Race today, what are the rules applying to team mates dropped from the peloton and caught up in the last loops by their leader who is escaped chasing victory? Should they act as if "offside" and therefore not be allow...

I wish people would scrub mako. Can’t scrum. Yeah, it's an odd one. Mentioned on another thread that it's Marler or no one for me if we are talking English looseheads. Especially against a strong SA set piece. Mako is great in his day around the park (and may well end up going), but I'd worry if he...

This, although if no fans are allowed in the ground the tour then I am not supporting the idea of a tour this year

By supporting the Death penalty we diminish ourselves as a people. Its not done for protection (the person is caught already), its done as a form of spiteful punishment to assuage anger in the populace at the crimes.

I think Ford in particular is definitely in the mix, Simmonds and Hill have a shot. I think the England number will be down on this tour. England came last out of the home nations and there are no English voices on selection any 50/50 call is going to fall against the England player.. (as it did fo...

The main takeaway from Turkey is that Greipel is cooked. ISN have put him in a very strong position and he hasnt delivered on multiple occasions

Yeah, definitely on a Lions tour would like to see a more varied selection although I still think touring this year is a stupid idea. A lions tour with no or limited travelling fans will be shit

Is it now time for PRs Viking Funeral? It is fairly clear now that outside of the Irish there is little to no rugby talk happening on the bored. The Welsh are down to Jeff and Turk and neither of them live in Wales The Scots gone. We have a hardcore of lads like Bimbo, Message, Mick, DAC and the re...

First win in years for Cav at the Tour of Turkey today. Showed some good speed in the finish too, even if the competition isn't the hottest. Alpecin-Fenix and Israel-Start-up Nation have strong sprint trains though with Philipsen and Greipel respectively

Amazing to see Jakobsen back riding as well

That’s the media stuffed with sycophantic stories until he’s planted. Other news stories will have to take a back seat. 99 year old millionaire has died, so what?

The problem with a 6:2 split that I have always had is that's it is risky. You're risking not getting more than two backline injuries, because if you do you'll be forced to play a loose forward in the backline. Even more than that, it can f**k with your required rotations. It's very rare that a hal...

Supermarket books. hmmm Over the last 10 years or so (maybe longer) I have found supermarkets (particularly Tesco) to be a great place to find paperbacks of all sorts and often new release bestsellers in hardback cheaper than anywhere else.

I've just read the latest Jack Reacher novel Not as good as some of the others, which were perfectly acceptable holiday reads, thinking it's running out of road and having two authors isn't helping.

Not going to argue with Wills team based on the 6N but I think there are some clear picks and then some areas where its not so clear.

He gets his legs too far back IMO which makes him drop or be dropped way too easily.

Has England's scrum ever been at a lower point historically than right now?
