Hype for Pollock's been there for a long time.

Best 7 I've seen playing Eng U18s in the last 15 years or so.

All four props and starting hooker Craig White are pretty exciting.

Disgraced former president and adjudicated rapist Donald Trump has been ordered by the jury to pay E. Jean Carroll $83.3 million for his lies about her while president and for the statements he made about her after the verdict in their last trial. Trump was previously ordered to pay Carroll $5 mill...

A prediction of what he’ll pick for Italy Marler, George, Cole Itoje, Chessum Curry, Dombrandt, Earl Mitchell, Ford Dingwall, Slade Daly, Steward, FW :thumbup: I agree with the exception of Smith for Ford. Ford's fitness would be the only reason Scabbers picked Smith instead. Smith starting at 10 h...

OHC has only just come back from injury, tbf. Borthwick brought him to Leicester, so clearly he likes him. Yeah that’s fair. But will he be given another go then if he shows the form he did? I doubt it. He moves off certain players so quick. Or in the case of Murley/Radwan - never even gives them a...

Doubt he's that sad. Munster will have their injured players back for the return trip to Franklins Gardens. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if they won over there
I can’t stand the bloke.
I'm sure he's devastated

I hope so.

I think Steward and Muir are the only 100kg+ backs in the squad, aren't they? Am I missing anyone? Freeman Great shout. I'd forgotten about him. It’s not just a size thing. I’d happily have the different threat of a player like Radwan in the back line that can pull something out of nothing.

Which is why he's selected players like Slade and Daly in the squad.
If we don’t have physical threats in the back line we’re f**ked.

There's absolutely zero evidence to suggest that Scabbers is going to drop 6 new players into his backline. He's just not that guy, and that's not test rugby. He has, however, got to make a minimum of 5 changes from the backline he fielded in the last WC game - (4 from the SF). Which is why he's se...

Michell

An out of form 10. Slade at 12 has been tried and it was a disaster and an in form 15 shunted onto the wing.

Bath did it for an hour. They attacked with depth and power, and defended with a really aggressive line. They just couldn't do it for 80min against one of the richest and best sides in Europe. Let's hope they can get the fourth try. If they spend wisely when the cap goes up next season they’ll be i...

Penalty against TLS for obstructing the support players.

TLS off side 4 times on the goal line and he ignores it.

He's been superb. Must start.

10. M Smith, 12 Lawrence, 13 Beard has a nice balance to it. With Furbank at 15 we can play two running centers.

Absolutely wild that anyone can look at this Sarries team and not think we're in end of an era stuff. Injuries aren't helping but the next season or so will be fascinating seeing how the club copes with losing more or less the last of the blokes who were there when Venter came in and established th...

Some interesting comments on Irish thread. Quins are everything that’s wrong with English rugby and Marcus Smith is the worst of them

Puffs his chest out and struts around fixing his hair too much apparently.

I can understand Mercer thinking he's made a mistake now, but ultimately he's not putting the performances in for Gloucester to make a case for himself. Ideally you need to be looking fantastically domestically to force your way into the international setup and he's not doing that. He was crap last...

Tom has been almost ever-present for England in recent years. If he's injured, you may as well pick the actual next best thing.

Ben is not nearly as physical as Tom.

More than likely a Patriot. They've been using one of the German supplied batteries close to the frontline for ambushes. They would have detected a MiG-29 long before it was in range to launch.

Being at home, I'd give us half a chance if we had our full side out but not with the amount of injuries we have. It might get even worse next week: Harrison went off injured early doors so Onasanya did 70 mins on Saturday. Tommy Taylor was at 7 towards the end with an academy lad (Birch) at 8. Hop...

Any word on what system did the deed? Presumably a Patriot? Can't see Mig29s being able to get that close. More than likely a Patriot.

Lewis has openly admitted had he fought Tyson early in his career he would have lost. Often a result is due to timing.

Mercer was 41 at that stage. Lewis, Holyfield, Tyson, Bowe, Ruddock, Mercer were all better than this shower of shit. Still got shit on.

It's refreshing to be honest as they are cleaning out all of the propaganda and PIS shit. Just as long as they don't go down the same route as PIS I will remain a happy camper.
