Not sure why you would expect many changes at this point. beyond Idiotic to expect it from anyone familiar with England Rugby. How many minutes before Daly forgets he's on a rugby pitch and to do his job this week? His job in that England back-3 is to cover the extra 10 yards that Steward hasn't go...

He has selected Pearson in the past, it's hardly a refusal. Pearson doesn't seem to have consistently hit the heights he was showing while at LI. I'm sure Scabbers has given a lot of thought to the merits of both players. Just because he selects one and not the other doesn't mean he thinks one is t...

Tim the tit from eggchasers, just this week, has claimed Marler is the second best LHP in the world and would get onto the springbok bench. Also they met up with Paul Gustard in France who said Farrell is the best English fly half and has been for a decade (not biased at all is he). Also that Stewa...

Aggressive management style? What, in a high level, elite performance based industry? Where standards have to be incredibly high and the costs involved are astronomical? Colour me shocked If that’s true, I think Bimbo of all people would actually back Horner on this one You still have to behave pro...

FFS its like QP is back making threads unreadable with the emoji spacing killing everything

Don't you have to be a bit of an epic cûnt to succeed in that role in that industry? F1 is probably the most alpha male work environment in the world. DEI and woke culture won't change that. Maybe on the Media facing side - Knowing professionally a few Aerodynamicists and Engineers that have worked...

What does this mean? "We exceeded that target with 92% of interview slates being diverse, resulting in 47% diverse hires at the management and executive levels," the end of the letter said. "For 2023, we've raised the bar and expect at least 92.5% of those interview slates will be diverse." Does it...

Italy were the most disappointing team of the World Cup for me. They played some lovely rugby during last years 6N, only to seemingly completely abandon it surfing the World Cup. It was nice to see that they are once again weaving pretty patterns in the back lines, and it can't be long before they ...

Some of the gushing over England, particularly roots, has been nothing short of embarrassing. So not just me. I thought Dallagio in particular was over the top. If England were as good as he and Kaye made out they'd have won at canter. England thrived off Italy's mistakes. More accurate opposition ...

That center partnership is f**king awful. Especially with the gnome at 10. Non of them offer any kind of running threat. I didn't even notice Dingwall was on the pitch until he missed the tackle for the last try. I thought Slade was ok, clear defensive tactic to rush up. But fudge me Daly is shite....

Some good quality in that first half. Definitely no easy games in this 6N

blindcider

At least it means this sideshow doesn't get in the way of the real deal that is England and Italy

Average game in a limited role and still kicked it out on the full twice (IIRC).

Why do we need to get used to something that's worse? Most male presenters/commentators/pundits are average to terrible. We call them out all the time. It seems women presenters etc are being called out for being women, not just average to terrible. Which presenters? Alex Scott would be one clear e...

Not by me. I take issue with most female pundits I have to listen to for being atrocious at what they do. And I'd still take the "worst" male pundits/commentators over any of the females ones all day long. I wouldnt take Michael Owen as a pundit/commentator over anyone. Although Fara Williams pushe...

I would like to see Feyi-Waboso on the pitch for some meaningful minutes. I am sure I have missed the memo so could someone tell me why he is not included in the Wales setup? The young man is studying medicine at Exeter University. It is a 5 year course. He currently has a 2 year contract with Exet...

i was talking about across sport as a whole and including presenters Orla Chennouai (cycling) , Jose Been (cycling), Karen Bardsley (ex goalkeeper turned commentator but not 100% sure on the name), Vicky Holland (Triathlon), Some of the F1 ladies have been good to (Not Danica Patrick though :) ) He...

interesting, so are people criticizing Joe Barton and now John Devereux for saying what they think but are afraid to say, or do people, really disagree with them and believe men's football and men's rugby is improved by having female pundits. Sport is improved by having good inciteful pundits and c...

Let’s hope it is true! It’s true. And Bearman gets 6! 6 FP1 spots in 2024. Ferrari are very excited about him. Basically a done deal that Ollie Bearman is racing for Haas in 2025. Is Antonelli going to get a fast promotion to Mercedes do we think? Or not ready? He’s super fast too. He’s the obvious...

I'd say this should be an absolute beatdown for Italy, based on the RWC. Even with a couple of injuries, this England squad can field a significantly better side than the Italians. For me the Italians were the most disappointing side at the RWC. Didnt show anything at all. Hope they are better from...

Prefers male commentators = misogynist dinosaur :uhoh: Thinking it is one thing, and I’m sure most do, but taking to social media to voice it is perhaps unwise? interesting, so are people criticizing Joe Barton and now John Devereux for saying what they think but are afraid to say, or do people, re...

It's been 10 years since I lived there, but there was a pub with the best selection of ales and best pies in Britain. I believe it gained notoriety for the owner kicking out Corbyn a few years ago. Get yourself a pie from there. The Raven. I think they just serve Pieminister ones now . Nice pub tho...

Quite looking forward to the 6N this year. I haven't bothered with the prem or euro cup this season so I go in with no idea how anyone's playing, how shit the selections are, how much talent is being squandered through a crap gameplan etc etc...it's quite refreshing. I give it two games before I'm ...

also was wondering if Bristol was worth a quick detour? Depends what you are after. Both places are excellent. Bristol has a bit of a younger/cooler energy. Loads of decent restaurants in both cities. Bath better for pubs i booked the hotel in Bath, and we'll mostly be out for museums, sightseeing ...

It might be an insane amount but isnt there like 3 shows a week, 52 weeks a year so the value proposition is very different compared to something like the 6N where its 15 games They have all of the rights in the UK, not in the US. Yeah I know, I still think you cant compare the two for a content pr...

It doesn't have to make sense, he mostly picks a lock at 15. Picking 4 locks and 7 back rows, and then forcing one of those locks (who barely looks adequate as a club flanker) into the back row, would mark Scabnose as a clueless selector. He's many things, but I don't think he's that thick. If Jake...

He has a ridiculously large amount of very cool films (although substantially more dross) but still, off the top of my head..

I'd have Furbank over Steward any day. Steward's got his USP, but he's like a back row playing at FB sometimes. We all know Steward will just get switched to the wing though if he's not at 15 anyway Steward had a good World Cup. He's really nowhere near as bad as the groupthink would suggest. That ...

Human error. The biggest risk to aviation safety. Human error is taken out of play if the systems are in place. Instead, while human error may be a factor, to me this points to systemic issue with Boings production and QA, i.e. cutting production corners, trimming staff/staff training, that sort of...

I cant speak for Boeing but Safety is the absolute first topic in nearly all of our generic comms. There is also never any celebration of Boeing woes on our side. I bloody hope so. Beside, if this is an issue with subcontractor like Spirit Aero, it could come back and bite Airbus... Absolutely. Any...

I think an inspection of every single bolt on every aircraft is probably the way to go before they fly again. How the fvck can they deliver with loose bolts? Human error. The biggest risk to aviation safety. A simple check list would suffice. But you'd hope they'd be a little more sophisticated wit...

A neighbour of ours flies for Qantas. He loves Boeing. Or at least he prefers Boeing to Airbus, thanks. I don't know too much about being a pilot I must admit. But he probably loves them because that's what he is trained to fly. I'm not sure that many pilots fly both Airbuses and Boeings. I know av...
