True, but Sinks looked like an imposter at times. Just not at the races.

Ruck marks are done. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CFPCmOSCBuIO_0n42xRUoldWN9evFwjz077SPeUYqKk/edit?usp=sharing Lawes worked hard, but not doing flanker work. Underhill scored low, I suspect missed tackles hurt his score, but still surprising to me. If Jones knew who and what Aldritt was,...

I'm not absolutely convinced that three flankers in the back row is a huge step up from two flankers and a lock. I don't get the dropping of Marler - it seems like a bit of a knee jerk to our lack of penetration against France: eek, let's pick a Vunipola. Genge starting and Marler on the bench woul...

Just said on our news that Sinn Fein could win your election! This is the criminal and terrorist organisation, Sinn Fein! WTF!!! :shock: Quality reporting seeing as though in the unlikely event that every one of their candidates won a seat they'd still ne almost 50% short of the count needed for a ...

I have been struggling with ongoing back pain since falling down a bank in Wellington last November. I kept hoping against hope but one visit to a physio (when I got around to it) saw me referred to specialists again. Had a scan recently and the results are not good - I have somehow damaged the uni...

Who are we going to get in as coach who is better than EJ? There's Gatland or Schmidt, but like him or loathe him, Jones is one of the best out there. I think many people just want a change as much as anything, it has been a bit of a "two steps forward, one step back" in the past two years with Jon...

I have read this thread and taken notes. OK, so most of them say "renew restraining order against MrDominator" but you get my drift. I think there’s an opportunity here. If I hadn’t binned the idea of a sociology doctorate I would definitely have used this as the basis for an allegorical treatise o...

Nice OP Smutley

Should be a proper hard match - I’ll reserve any predictions till I’ve seen the teams, given Eddie’s current mood, but could be a tough one to call.

I felt Simmonds was rejected too soon. With Curry and Underhill alongside him, most opposition teams are going to be seriously embarrassed by their pace. Vunipola has had his moments, but is too easy to work out. Not many teams can handle him even so. It’s usually pretty obvious what Billy is going...

He is covering himself for picking an unbalanced back row that got stuffed on the day. With a number of excellent 8s in England why pick a guy who is inexperienced at 8 and looked completely out of place on Saturday? For me I would have picked and played Dombrant even if he is inexperienced at test...

Congrats France - lots of good stuff to build on and some fabulous talent. Early days, of course, but with Edwards on board you can be serious about your home RWC prospects and I like the way you are starting now. As for England, it was pretty poor really with the obvious exception of Wheels May. Ed...

Congrats France, and well played. Good to see you back as serious contenders

I’m really looking forward to the match tomorrow afternoon. It should be fascinating on several fronts and hopefully we should learn a fair bit about some of the England new/ newish lads in a pressurised international context. How the French will go is impossible to predict, but if their pack get an...

nuffsaid, we’re only talking about England fans not the general population. Don’t get the wrong impression. I tried to make my point clear in my follow-up post. Is that ok? Do you feel inclined to expand on what we talked about yesterday? You may have been, YOYO, but you can’t possibly fail to noti...

Last nights events in parliament square shows why we Irish will always find the English unpalatable. They're racist scum plain and simple. And worst of all: the Euros are on in 2020 with England likely playing a quarter final in Dublin. All of them filthy scumbags will be in Dublin causing trouble....

What does this day mean to you as a Britisher? Do you feel empowered? I’ll take that question at face value, even if you decide to play the smartarse like several of the unreconstructed knobs on this thread. I feel very sad today, as do most of the friends and contacts I have spoken to in the UK, F...

The WHO should be moving faster on this. Within 3-4 days it will be a global pandemic It struck me that some of the airport “screening” measures for direct flights seemed a bit half-hearted in some places, including Heathrow. Having said that, it’s so easy to over-react and every bio-security escal...

RIP Terry Jones. The last few years maybe not so great, but a life well lived, I’d say.

England v Australia Jan 2nd 1982. The half time entertainment was better than you get these days. That would be Erika, no doubt :D :D I was there too, but as an 11year old found the whole thing very odd. Good to be there, though. Iconic moment - often imitated but never matched. I just hope it didn...

So you are saying that the unique Duchy provisions are ordinary property law? Btw, don’t patronise me. The uniqueness or not of the Dutchies tax status’s has little to do with their status of not being a company, not being owned by the state nor being some how the property of the people.

Hi. Looking at doing a two week tour of Portugal in the summer and looking for some steer on what to do. We've got two kids who'll be 8 and 10. We might drive via the ferry to Santander or Bilbao, or might fly-drive. We'd like to spend a bit of time in Lisbon and Porto and also some time travelling...

I’m aware of it’s providence. The other duchy is the Duchy of Lancaster and as a descendant of Derbyshire lead miners I know where these devices came from and what they were/are for.

IMO if they want to be independent they should take no royal sourced money including the Ducky of Cornwall proceeds and relinquish their titles and line to the throne. A refund for that 'cottage' renovation wouldn't be amiss either. Harry gets 95% of his 'income' from his dad's estate. The other 5%...

Ben Curry couldn't do a worse job. To be honest, I'd take a punt on Edwina Curry instead of Youngs at the moment to be honest.

I’m not sure you are being honest once, let alone twice.

A friend has a friend who is senior in Sarries. It is claimed that more Sarries players than expected have agreed to take pay cuts rather than move. All chip in a flat each? If they were signed on the premise of a property deal, do they keep any investments made by the club under the cap? I have no...

England could be pretty strong (any news on Watson btw?) but the French backs have great potential.

Shirley, Gibbins will be cited for that and I’d expect a lengthy ban. Thought it was odd that Denton was more than a bit wishy-washy about it.

The discussion seems to have morphed into whether Guido’s is a trusted website and, in a wider sense, to what is or is not a trusted source of news.
