Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread

What a pile of shite. Coming out to play for 10 or 20 minutes and then going to pieces. Again. I don't think I've seen Mako play so badly. Come to that, I think Sarries players made more cock ups in this match than they did for their club in the entire season. Dismal viewing. Mako was abysmal Georg...

Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread

Jones out? Our forwards are being outmuscled every game and from 1-10 we are trying to play at a pace we don't seem familiar with. Our discipline has also started to fall apart across the board, which is a very bad sign. Anyway our high pressure smash and grab style is no longer working for us and t...

Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread

No one was able to put in a dominant tackle to change the momentum of the game when we were on the back foot. Everything was soft and on the drift. England without any bite are so easily swept aside. Exactly this. And it's because they're (mostly) pussies. The list of alpha males is limited to two ...

Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread

It must be a feint, Shirley. Brown and Daly will swap and change positions in a dynamic, creative and ultimately decisive fashion. Or not, possibly. I expect they will exchange the 15 position. Brown on defense. Daly on offense. If not, its an utterly daft selection. Except that turnovers are the b...

Re: This Jordan Peterson bloke

Just came across this extract from Peterson's UK trip, the full event is here . I have not watched the full event yet. The host's (interviewer? interrogator?) approach is very similar to Newman's.

Re: This Jordan Peterson bloke

You're right. He knows perfectly well that any attempt to engage with a figure like Taylor, no matter how rigorous, would be instantly mis-characterised. It's a sad indictment.
