Not a great look from whoever the TMO was. Didn't review the Lewies/Farrell incident solely because Austin suggested it needed to be looked at on comms.

Quins getting hosed.

Was that Tompkins with being a scum bag with the head rub after the hand off? Can't help himself, that lad

Edit - nope, it was Earl

Huh? They released a photoshopped picture and then will was seen with what looked like a body double. Hardly surprising there was speculation. Almost all photos are shopped in some way. The picture at the farm shop was clearly clearly Kate. Even if the chemo has affected her looks . Only complete h...

Did he really look the real deal though?

He seemed handy enough, but I think his stock rose dramatically as a result of his unavailability after and how desperate we are for every 12 to be the one.

The ex-London Irish fellow at Gloucester - Englefield - looks a decent prospect lower down the age list. Doesn't dither, with a snappy service and lovely pass. He’s been fantastic so far and a big reason behind our (slight) upturn in form. Has a mammoth boot on him and is really sharp in pretty muc...

Story is that he's had 3 offers but I haven't heard who from. He's a free shake for teams at this stage unless they feel there's a better candidate on the programme. Unless someone can explain it better, that Fissler story made no sense. 3 practice squad offers is perfectly realistic, but the money...

Also, players from previous eras talking about international football being a duty and akin to being called up to fight in a war is really weird. Is that what they said? That is weird... you'd be excited about one... and dreading the other I would have thought? An honour, rather than a duty... Stuf...

It would seem bunch has the bee in his bonnet because of how White looks… It's an odd one. Ultimately he walked away when he encountered what he thought was unfair criticism in front of his peers and was in an environment he clearly didn't enjoy. People are wired differently. Most would probably gr...

Everything points to Holland being a cockend and Southgate covering for him. Sorry, Orange knows better, is that what you're saying? Orange throwing toys from the pram is reason to ditch what everyone says is the best coaching ticket England has had since the days of B&W TV? Anyone who has had to m...

Masters is much better than the Pacific. Not close at all for me.

His team are nowhere near as good as he thinks they are Imagine still talking about that after your best win of the season. Rent free.

Never reached his legs though... was bumped off by the ball carrying arm... Not seen the reverse angle, but does it even matter what he hit? He's gone shoulder first to stop the player behind the gainline and brought that player down. Without ever getting a wrap. It would have been a normal wrap if...

Margin_Walker

Really not controversial for me. Saw it in real time and gritted my teeth waiting for the arm to come out. Do a few of those get missed a game? Sure. Is it an illegal tackle? yes. It was a tired attempt he got wrong. Always a risk with those low tackles that the ball carrier's leg gets there before...

Yep. You've got to take the man in that position.

France WC winners, Ire GS winners last year. Eng champions this year. Italy growing in ability. Not looking too bad for the future. England had access to the players this year with the premiership not active. France didn't, because after half a dozen years the RWC money has now finished and the clu...

What's did happen? Let me guess, he tried to pass to the guy on the left but passed it behind him into touch?

Cut inside trying to beat the man. Realised it wasn't happening and threw a panicked offload to the inside man that was knocked on.

Anyway. Cheers to the swarm*. Decent Championship that and went down to the wire. Commiserations for having to rely on that French team. All the talent and senior experience, but just couldn't make it count.

*Apart from Duff. F*ck that guy.

That's a French broadcaster that's only heard of him I reckon. He'd be well down the list in that game.

Why are they having a lineout conference.

Edit - followed by that

11 French penalties to 4 for England? England have had a decent amount of the ball, with some pretty poor French discipline. England have come away a few times from the red zone without points Score is the result of the French backline being able to break at will from range. They could have had mor...

We've now got solid confirmation that Ben Orange is a bit of a tw@t. Long suspected but never till now fully plain. If he didn't fall out with Holland... why does he not want to be selected? I see Bellingham declined a call up as well a couple of years ago. Not sure what his excuse was? He refuses ...

Yes, it seems that we should be able to line up our best XV. No excuses. Indeed. Le XV de départ : Ferté ; Attissogbe, L. Darricarrère, Gourgues, Bollengier ; (o) Reus, (m) L. Carbonneau (cap.) ; Quere Karaba, Gazzotti, Castro-Ferreira ; Tuilagi , Descube ; Affane, Massa, Julien. Remplaçants : Coul...

Don't bother. Capuozzo is yawn's latest project player. Not test class and he'll bang on and on until his next good performance. Anyone notice how big ange got on against Scotland? Poor old dai really had a beastly weekend. We still talking about the fullback who can't tackle? He missed 3 out of th...

Knowing our luck, someone would have copped a red for a clear out whilst going for the try, thus cancelling the advantage.

Margin_Walker

Ah, right. Fair enough

Margin_Walker

Now that's a fair point. Instead of the ball being hoisted into the air by Steward, it's much more likely that he would have run it back and beaten a defender or two, but would have done so down that right-wing channel. Running it back to the congested part of the pitch where his forwards would hav...

Margin_Walker

Maybe, but I'm not convinced by the all-or-nothing narrative. I'd certainly agree that Furbank is a more natural attacking threat, but it's silly to pretend that Steward was just sitting there lofting up and unders. Both players have started two games. Granted, Steward had the easier opposition, bu...
