The handling errors. Jesus f**king christ.

Some may have considered Malins as fullback cover, given how often he played there. But apparently a fly-half with zero experience in the position is the way to go.

I never thought I'd look back fondly on Andy Robinson's England.

The Farrell ban will be a blessing if it's long enough to keep him away from camp. JVP confirmed out of the RWC with syndemosis and destroyed ankle ligaments, Alex MItchell to be called up. Borthwick gets lucky again. It's horrible for JVP, of course, but based on the last 6N Alex Mitchell is a ste...

Anyone have any idea why Steward didn't get a red? It met the threshold for reckless foul play from my perspective, and showed no sign of trying to mitigate the risk. Watching the replay again, Steward sees Adams from a long way out and must know he's going to jump for the ball given its trajectory...

From all of that possession and territory England created five clean breaks (the same as Wales) and one clear-cut try scoring opportunity, which was when they flopped over from a 5m lineout. You don't think Marchant knocking the ball on over the tryline when gathering Ford's kick was a clear-cut op...

So surely Farrell can't make the World Cup right? Like, it's not his first offence. How many bans has he had so far? Not really. Despite a history of high tackles and no-arm tackles, he seems to get away with it with remarkable frequency. The big surprise yesterday was not that he committed another...

You know how you sometimes see highlights videos on YouTube, and they are less than 2 mins long, but find time to include footage of the teams running onto the pitch, anthems and crowd shots? And you know how you think to yourself that they can't possibly be capturing all of the highlights in the re...

In what sense? They can’t have their own biological children. I’m not in anyway insulting them for that quirk of fate, it must be devastating for some. Gay, lesbians and trans can't have their own biological children? This is shocking news to all the gay and lesbians who have kids. Even more shocki...

Widow twankie had to improvise after running out of sweets at the local panto last crimbo. https://twitter.com/MalesInDisguise/status/1685696410681749504?t=DoZLytS5sJexdDnSp-M4JA&s=19 Why do they always want to perform to kids?

Why do they always want to perform to kids? Or read books to them? Why not the homeless or pensioners etc? Who is reading books to the homeless and pensions who can by and large read themselves at a fairly advanced level? OK. Why dress up as drag queens to help kids learn to read? Are you outraged ...

4071

I see that the anti-drag guys who insist that they are motivated not by homophobia, but simply a desire to protect the kids, just happen - by staggering coincidence - to be openly homophobic.

How unexpected.

Fresh from the non-consensual showing of pornographic images on public television, idiot Congresswoman MTG is stepping up her campaign to attack Joe Biden by making a speech so bizarrely positive about Biden that it's being turned into pro-Democrat messaging. https://twitter.com/JoeBiden/status/168...

I think this is the most likely outcome. The Eu Refugee Convention and the ECHR will either not survive or be heavily neutered. Ultimately there is only a finite amount of resources. Europe cannot take hundreds millions of migrants. the solution will be brutal. But it will need to be. I think Europ...

So, the most useless, incompetent businessman in the world (bar Donald Trump) is STILL the richest man in the world ? If you want to get rich there's nothing like starting out rich. Goes for Trump too. If you want to get super rich, you've got to be both good at what you do and lucky. It would be a...

He wasn't great, but he did okay given his obvious vision issues.

4071

Hey, you know that bit when you carry in one hand and the drop it when tackled? Yeah?

Don't do that.

4071

Missed touch again?

Come on... It's not THAT hard to get the ball over the touchline, is it?

4071

I don't think this ref can see SA knocks-on.

That's another he called backwards.

4071

Another knock on by SA ruled as backwards?

4071

"backwards"

Lol.

Sure....

4071

So, uh... England aren't playing for ANOTHER draw, are they...?

4071

England on top at the moment, but SO inaccurate.

4071

Third time Slevin has missed touch from a penalty.

Poor.

4071

Not sure what more Maasi White could have done to roll away there.

4071

ANOTHER 5m lineout ending with the ball turned over. So inefficient in the red zone.

4071

Half time score a fair reflection of the first 40. SA have been very good. Certainly the better side. England have had moments of quality.

4071

Scrum aside, the SA forwards are totally on top. Looking very effective.

4071

England very inefficient. Two 5m lineouts f**ked up.

SA lucky there. Player comes into the side of the ruck and kicks the ball out. Play on, and SA turn pressure into a turnover.

Which?

England's. Cleaves beating 3-4 players on a run from his own 22 before putting the hooker away to outpace the SA scrum half from 20m out

4071

fudge me, Cleaves is just... Startling.

4071

Looking increasingly like England will finish the tournament with 1 win in 5 games.

And 4th place.

4071

SA 12 unlucky there. No way he could have rolled away.

4071

Looking forward to watching this later this evening. I think I might drop into one of the Irish bars in Nice but it will take some effort to beat these French kids.. I reckon they are 12 point favourites but you never know what may happen particularly when it comes to French discipline, there could...

4071

Very ungenerous call against the Aussie tackler, there. Called high despite being below the shoulders.

The thing is I'm being accused of attacking the film by Hawk and Rodney, I'm not, I'm saying that it's current high scores on IMDB etc. are inflated by nutters. I've said it seems like a fairly standard action film with a decent cast. It's also not the first film about child abduction in south amer...

Are we agreed now that there are several other political parties with elected representatives, who have leaving the EU as one of their policies ? @4071 you seemed to think nobody else had suggested that… Whether or not it’s deranged or not is a matter of opinion. There are - in the Netherlands - pa...

I don't believe it 'got worse', though its possible. Living in the EU as an economic migrant got worse. Preventing the boat people from leaving France got worse. Legal migrants accepted by the EU still came to the UK before.... they now go to Dublin. The discussion was about non-EU migration to the...
