Having rewatched it, it took France time to find their feet but it felt more and more comfortable as the game wetlnt on.
If the ABs meet France again, it's lights out. Just not enough physicality. I'd fancy them against ireland or Scotland though.

48. Age is just a number.

An important number in a girlfriend/mistress though

johnuknow

50 50 call. I think it was probably a double movement. Certainly momentum coming from the other player though.

Repeatedly warning individuals only (not even a team warning for Wales) defending the line was harder to understand.

but Fiji didn't make their own luck.

johnuknow

Should have been yellow

johnuknow

Wales look organised. Fiji look like , well Fiji

johnuknow

England looking offside quite often?

johnuknow

Southern hemisphere not looking great so far

johnuknow

Awful game to watch. At least for the non purists

johnuknow

And we do? With lads like Gibson-Park, Lowe and Aki who weren’t within a mile of an all blacks call up? Nah This AB team look not half bad to me. Physically some issues against the bigger sides They will beat ireland/Scotland South Africa will top their pool and then beat New Zealand with comparati...

I think NZ will be back as soon as Razor takes control. They still have the players. But this is a specialt French team - I don’t know if the SH posters realised just how much potential they had shown Nah, they don't have the cattle. They haven't for a while now. They have some brilliant individual...

Pepper has been goodish

But he is determined to avoid the tmo

johnuknow

Yellow is fair

johnuknow

I'm missing decent replays

johnuknow

Does it matter??

johnuknow

Totally meaningless game surely

johnuknow

I’m quite sure that I could have lived a fine life without kids - definitely traveled more and had a better house/car. One doesn’t miss what they don’t know - men without kids will probably not have big regrets or sadness. But once your kid is born it instantly changes everything - Imagine feeling ...

Is he getting off because they honestly don't think it's a red...or because they feel the punishment is too great this time? The former defies logical

Hate to see that

Although I have a voodoo doll that looks remarkably like Dupont

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-66383377 Also an interesting perspective. Maybe take a read of what Hellraiser has posted above to get some more perspective eh? Alot of us are guilty of falling into that narrative that you just posted. The next few months will tell. Isn't this war though? Apa...

Scotland could beat Ireland in a one off game. I'd be wary of them..a red card etc

I wonder if the group will wreck the teams coming out of it.

Kraftwerk played dublin recently but didn't see them.

Did see The War on Drugs though and although I didn't know many of their songs, I thought they were good

johnuknow

Western governments need to get serious about having a proper discussion around immigration. Afraid to do so because of the minority on twitter screeching about it. Will they ever learn that most of us will vote for sensible policies. Centrists in other words. But yet by doing what they are doing t...

My wife worked in Dublin for a year and a half, I’m the only one never been up there. This fella is from Cork, and he's played you all like rubes into giving away your secrets. I live in donnybrook, we are alot closer to the Brits than Cork. I haven't been there in a ling time. Is the English Marke...

Ireland to be beaten by Scotland.
I can see it.

johnuknow

Wouldn't want to live there though. Best enjoyed as a tourist

U2 eot I think if Rolling Stone do a piece on your Greatest 50 songs , the only way you can be over-rated is if someone claims that you can heal the sick. They did one decent album but the rest is terrible. They also left a “shit in my sock drawer” with that iTunes stunt. Hugely overrated. Not to m...

johnuknow

The National are very highly rated and I like that style of music but yet I don't think they are that good. So that's my answer Their singer doesn’t seem to try very hard live to sing remotely in key… the excessive wine probably doesn’t help. Maybe that's it. They do appeal to a certain older male ...

johnuknow

Difficult topic because what's the measure for how rated a band are? On top of that, it might not be music to one's tastes. Adele for example has the kind of act that makes me wish I was deaf. ....but lots of people, especially women love that stuff. That said, if you answer Radiohead, you just don'...

So these cluster munitions approved by the US.

Aren't they banned in a lot of places?

So, word is that the Don replicated his Georgia perfect phone call with the good folks in Arizona..

SA VS ENG.

Would have voted for South Africa vs Wales but my imagination just can't stretch to that.

johnuknow

^This. He knows it and he went too far already. I suspect these reports to be TASS driven propaganda and misinformation to confuse soldiers and stop all the defections. Unless... Putin and Prigozhin are doing this together... to flush out the traitors in the Kremlin? If Prigozhin survives then he m...

Not sure cutting off pay has ever stopped a coup but I'm open to correction. Maybe take away their subsidised snacks also.

johnuknow

Surely it's just the end of Wagner?

That said, it's not positive for Russia.

Anyone seen the James Cameron interview.

He has quite an ego but seems well informed on this specific topic.

Well it sad that it has ended like this. Is it more sad than a boat load of refugees going down and losing a lot more lives? I not sure, I guess it's just how newsworthy it all is. I realise there was a lot of drame atc as the attempts were made to rescue tham etc, and no argument about that, it's ...
