Everything going Ireland's way. England in absolute disarray in all facets save the breakdown which is finally being properly contested. Can't see where England are going to either stem Ireland's scoring or in turn muster enough in attack to get back into the game. We're desperately average. Irelan...

Yeah, I don't buy that argument at all. Sure there's the odd player who shines at international level, but being good is probably the best sign of a potential international... Shirley, this should not be looked at as a general issue, but an issue of having players in specific positions who clearly ...

To be honest, I'm rapidly going off Eddie. Anyone who can pick Wiggy over Robson and Hartly over LCD, either isn't watching the same games as me , or is proving the Ausies who warned he was a complete spoofer, correct.

I see Lauren Southern has now been refused entry to the UK. And they say we can't control our borders. We have to stop these lefties from stamping on the freedom of speech of those that they disagree with. Why would they stop this woman from coming to the UK the lefty bastards are a danger to free ...

How about give ford a chance with teo outside him, an actual centre? How about picking a 7 that is quick enough to support the 10? How about Farrells defence v Scotland? Throwing ford under the bus is a terrible call to cover all the other problems. Back row. Tired players. Front row. Danny care. D...

Annnnnnnnddddd sarries defence parts like the red sea.

See run out of 22 at the start of second half ! Quality player.

Backwoodsman1

Two good tries, but Chiefs possibly the more likely to sustain the pressure. Both the young Chiefs second row are playing well.

Backwoodsman1

Apparently Eddie is keen on Ben Vellacott. Personally I’d prefer Robson as our third choice 9, but Vellacott has been really impressive this season and it would be a massive waste to lose him to the Scots. Also, unlike Maunder, he’s getting regular game time and has typically shone when given his o...

Chiefs currently putting Barf to the sword. LC-D back in fine form, Kev very efficient and carrying well. Pretty much situation normal, Chiefs dominating all phases.

Backwoodsman1

Blimey Chiefs nearly blew it! Very solid game from both sides, fag paper between them. Maybank and Tempest are two officials you really hope not to get for a fixture that important. Very unsympathetic towards positive play and happy to allow Sarries to stay on the wrong side of the tackle far too l...

Hartley - I agree he's not the best hooker going, but he's not abysmal or anything close to it and the accusations that he's a passenger square rather poorly with his actual performances, which tend towards the workmanlike . Other than those moment he stops working, for no seeming (good) reason And...

Turbo. What has happened in the dispute with Quatar ,that has dropped off the newspapers here ? At one stage it looked to be quite a big deal ?

Backwoodsman1

Well done Quins, played some good rugby there. Think they were the more enterprising team and deserved the win.

For anyone watching on Vipbox, it's great to hear the unbroadcasted commentator comments during half time. "Ben Whitehouse... he won't stop talking, and half of what he says is f**king bollocks!" "It's a total shitshow. What a tosser!" Hugo not impressed, one of the comentators just said '' I wonde...

Very interesting stage - enjoyed the way Sky energized the last climb and the way Froome took off from his last team member, bit of a statement there ! At one point it looked like Aru was struggling to hold on, but he managed to get back in. It's very early in the race to have such a clear sort out ...

Interestingly both of the recent collisions appear to have occurred as a result of the US vessel crossing in front of the traffic and being hit on the port side just aft of midships by the bows of the other craft. Both the container vessel involved in the USS Fitzgerald accident and the tanker in t...

Every commercial vessel over a length of 30M ( from memory), is now required to have AIS fitted. This shows the position and name of every vessel within a certain field. Presumably military types have systems where they can turn off the outgoing signal. The mark 1 eyeball is the most effective colli...

Classy reaction from the French fans. A big feck off to them from Froome. Bunch of dckheads. Even though Froome hasn't won a stage, he's always been where it mattered and was absolutely brilliant tactically speaking. The only time he was having a hard time was at Peyragudes in those last 300m but o...

the strange part is that the British people were probably the most oppressed and worst treated of all of the people in the "empire" and all for a loaf of bread or a shilling a week.

I have to say, I've gone from seeing Uran as the real outside hope, to thinking it wouldn't be so bad if he got caught out. Unless he's been saving himself all along and really does something on the Izoard, I hope there's some way Aru can overtake him on the TT, because ever since his stage win he'...
