Hope the next manager moans a lot!

Hawk hates everything except Max Verstappen and Christian Horner

I think you lot are overrating England, they're barely above Italy/Wales level. If Ireland play close to their potential it'll be an embarrassment for England and even if you don't I think it'll be an ugly comfortable win on the score board. They might drag you down into a close game I suppose but ...

What are we doing. Get some scrum halves in!

Come on chaps you can see the signs are there. There are finally some clear attack patterns emerging in addition to kick and chase. The precision was way too sloppy but compare with the performances in last year's 6N. Some players that should be gone though Daly, Roots, Daly, Care, Daly, Daly, Daly...

Any thoughts on Brace's Refereeing performance? I thought there was a general absence of refereeing during play and some strange interpretations when he did bother, That maul call at the end was ridiculous given how long some standing tackles were allowed throughout the game and the tackled players ...

England are going nowhere under thicko Borthers. He has to go at the end of the 6N I'd actually disagree, the sparks and the patterns are there. It's just sloppy execution killing us. It's certainly better than the last 6N game. Still some shit selections. WTF does Daly need to do to get dropped. H...

Not surprised the usual cookers are champing at the bit on this one. It's not a grand conspiracy theory. The training data is very, very white. Early on image generation pretty much always generated white people, for all requests. So rather than expanding the training data, they took a lazy program...

Middle para is absolutely spot on. Toonie has done a good job but peaked a while ago and is now holding us back. The rest is probably correct too unfortunately. If not him, then who realistically? There aren't many top tier coaches out there looking for a job... What's Pivac up to these days? They ...

I don't think adding sensory rooms and baby-change facilities is going to have much of a meaningful impact on average attendance age somehow...

Let's be honest here, we all know that Twickers is a giant ego boost for the RFU blazers. Rather than putting the money to good use (academies, grass roots, referee development), they would love to be able to say that Twickenham was turned into a "world class fan experience" on their watch.

I reckon England by less than 7.

England will have learnt their lessons from the last couple of years and strangle the life out of the game and Scotland will start to get more and more off their game at the almost panic of losing 3 in a row

Not sure it is helpful including the clock stopped time in the graphic as this doesnt affect the ball in play time but does skew the percentages quite heavily

With FPTP system, the better Reform do, the worse for Conservatives, the better for Labour. I’m not sure how true that is. True in the sense as you say, around 60% are revolting against Tory leadership from Tory voters, but, there’s around 30% who just want change. I wager it’s a lot more but peopl...

Same as Australia. Almost okay on the surface, but drifting... Australia’s immigration has covered the cracks for a long time. Imagine what it might be like without hundreds of thousands of youngish, skilled migrants rocking up every year. That's what we need, not the dregs we get. A massive propor...

not sure one gets a sense of noping, frustration and a lack of opportunities sure, also a sense of you asked for this shit your sort it.

How many of the best ones will go abroad for bigger bucks before they reach the requisite number of caps ? I think more to the point is how many will ever reach the desired standard.

I want to be a bit more upbeat about what the future may hold for us, so I've tried to look at where Wozza was blooding new talent on Saturday. We only had a single starter over the age of 30, which for me indicates that Gats is thinking about building a squad for the longer term. 15. Cam Winnett -...

You can tell those that don’t have a clue by their takes on Tuilagi. Some people think we still have prime 2012 Manu around Meh, we need either a bigger 12 or 13 to increase the tactical options. A fit Manu or Lawrence would improve us IMO Lawrence would be my pick for 12 as Dingwall has been mostl...

Receiver has 2 seconds to either run/pass or kick, free kick from where the ball lands if none happen, that would gets the skates under them. You're handing a huge advantage to the defence there.

Yeah scraping through against the Dog and Duck at home is not acceptable. I think there’s a malaise that has set in, an acceptance of much lower standards.

Rugby unfortunately has not broken out of being a game for toffs and the firmly middle class, through private and grammar schools. It also has not done anywhere near enough marketing and lobbying to generate wider interest, excitement or money. Topper this is it. It's still a game for toffs mostly....

Yeah could have pinged either England for not driving straight or Wales for collapsing at nearly every scrum.

Not sure why so much negativity.

You can finally see England trying to play. Earl channeling Dayglow for his score bought back some memories. Plenty of room to improve but it really wasn't that bad

Having grown up in the countryside myself (rural Herefordshire) I can definitely say there are some old fashioned views towards non-white people. From what I have seen Its mostly of the casual sort rather than the overt hatred you can find in some individuals in urban areas.
