Balls Out!

A lot of stuff subtly linking back to the original series too. It's up there in my all-time favourites again. The dark twisted humour mixed with serious stuff is absolutely brilliant.. and I'm only up to episode 14.. :thumbup: yeah its all intervowen, I watched fire walk with me after the first two...

I genuinely thought NZ would love with them a bit more. It was brutal. I think it was SA that made love with them… *live* That was making love in the same way that fisting is romantic. All this bollox about our performance is due to fitness tapering- by that logic the Boks have peaked too soon?? Wh...

thanks. The TL;DR is 4 game ban, including the Ireland game just played. So misses first 2 pool games

seems fair.

what time do we expect to hear if Farrell and Billy brought the right kind of biscuits to the appeals panel?

Just started Justified: City Primeval while recovering from my first dose of COVID. I loved the original Justified and had suspicions that they would butcher the restart, but it's great, even if the writing is a teeny bit lazy in places. I also re-watched the original Justified pilot (trying to get ...

Couldn't find a thread about this so figured I'd start a new one. Had my first a month ago and I was surprised to learn that the American Association of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends the baby sleeping in the parents' room until 12 months and absolutely until 6 months in order to reduce the risk of SI...

What does it even mean? Is he saying the players are doing so much cardio and contact work in training that they’re too knackered to play rugby effectively at the moment? I think so. I hadn't seen this comment in the press, only on PR, so I looked it up "Gatland had stated that Wales were “too fit ...

Good article in the Times that sums things up pretty well. https://archive.ph/VWNiP Question for me is: why the fck aren't reporters asking these tough questions in the press conferences? I watched the Borthwick one yesterday and 95% of them were some variation of the same question about high tackle...

Did anyone see the George Robson interview about Borthwick's England on Rugby pass? He's bang on Asked what he had heard from inside the England camp about morale, the former Harlequins forward said: “Whenever there is a social media post from England it is someone on a Wattbike or in the gym or sp...

Not as a scrummager. Granted some walking into the scrum is allowed, but Cole is now so slow they might want to consider stopping the clock. He might be a superb scrummager still, but one can only hope he's rediscovered some of the mobility he once enjoyed else he looks such a liability outside the...

I've stayed away from like the last 20 pages of this thread so as not to spoil Succession for myself... responding to a few old posts Culkin this season is about as good as television acting gets Absolutely. I'm astonished how good he was. Great writing, great acting, or both? Maybe Roman was just p...

Not sure if anyone else watches the ER docuseries (this time it’s called “This Rose”… x( ), but they had a training camp in Verona recently, which was apparently sweltering hot. They have come back looking in good nick. Dombrandt is noticeably more lean. Given how I was calling them a fat and out o...

When one considers the oddities who run rugby they either truly think the revenues in rugby are about to explode upwards, or they know full well it's bollocks and they just want their bonus payment.

In my 30's worked 50-60hr on top of international travel, you can only do that for so long and the inevitable health bubble burst - don't do that ! 45-50hrs now, only paid for 40 though. Health is still fecked, so again don't do that. I suppose it depends on what business you're in if you can tailo...

I agree with the general sentiment in here but I've selfishly been assuaged by the fact my team (Sale) are doing well this season with a big emphasis on English talent. Few disappointing efforts in Europe but I think that'll change as the team gets older. That being said I can't deny the game appea...

It's always possible you lot are growing up and don't think about the world in quite the same childish fashion. I wouldn't know myself, but it's a thought if this a response to the 'not enjoying rugby so much any more' comments that I and other people have made - yes, you could be right with that. ...

Balls Out!

I have pretty much given up on rugby. I don’t subscribe to BT Sport. England have been awful to watch. My local side , Worcester Warriors have disappeared. I just don’t care about it any more. :( I’ve actually gone off rugby a bit, not coaching or playing next season. Can’t be arsed watching the pr...

Loved seeing Ashton breaking the ton, and then pulling a Contepomi for his 101st! Still can't quite believe he's getting standing ovations at Welford Road! :lol: I haven’t seen it but I’ve always liked him and Mike Brown. Not sure what that says about me :uhoh: such a great end to his rugby career ...

That saffer prop who killed one of his workers for fun and got away with it ?

He was charged with murder, but in a plea bargain agreement, was convicted of culpable h...

Balls Out!

I've said before, but Curry seemed to avoid a lot of criticism after those autumn performances. Billy was top carrier, and gets publicly dropped. That said, the rumours of Billy being a bit of a twat are not unfounded I suspect. If Borthers has his own "no dickheads" policy, then you can sort of un...

100% it's Borthwicks fault that morale is down. I saw an article recently where he said the team wasn't really good at anything. What an absolute twat. But now we can see he's right! :lol: Borthwick does make Foster look like a man of great gravitas. Self fulfilling prophecy. I think morale was alr...

Balls Out!

Nice of you to say this , personally I think you are too generous to England. I agree that it’s morale and self belief that are mostly at fault, and for that you have to blame Borthwick primarily now. I dont buy into the whole Farrell or Smith , or any other singular position pick (now that Youngs ...
