What's with the Dow v aitcheson dialogue before every kick? "You can't kick for shit, holly" "fvck off Abbie"

I think Scotland emptied the tank so much on defence that they just couldn't muster the attacking threats when they did get a sniff of territory. Big improvement just hanging in the match for 80 minutes, though. Take note, Wales! I don't recall them getting a sniff of territory in that second half.

And also as purely offensive players, they pretty much never need to anticipate anything. Every play is choreographed to the nth degree. Sportsmen are rarely the sharpest, but offensive NFL players probably the least of all. They are essentially robots sent out to deploy raw speed and muscle memory...

Well this is great. Scottish defence immense, and now scoring a try from a maul.
Is France going backwards or is this the real deal from the scotch lassies?

Good advice. Chester is great! Lake District is summer would be good too - we went there years ago and it was arctic, but still very nice. Give me a shout if you're in Chester Towny.

Just to put NFL players’ athleticism into context, LRZ’s pro day results would put him 16th fastest in this year’s rookie class at the combine for the 40yard dash, and his vertical jump would be dead last. That’s just for WRs. And he’s probably the most explosive and certainly the fastest player ru...

Not really good to watch, but worth watching if you like age group rugby. Camera work could have been ... better. And with a score like that it was a bit of a procession. From the first half they look a well coached side. I like all of them but they aren't playing much. From what I saw: Campion (be...

Yeah he's really going to give the Super Bowl champions that much needed publicity boost.

Did I just read that kicking the ball away is the problem with test rugby? Difficult to say. Not too long ago the Aussies and Kiwis did complain that the Boks were kicking too much, we need to see ball in hand attacking rugby all the time. No time for any of the other shyte rugby stuff apparently. ...

IF England do win, it will probably be in spite of him. Heard this yesterday - under Southgate, England have won 6% of games against teams ranked around them.

When points for tries are disproportionately valued above points for penalty kicks, you get more penalties and yellow cards. I’m guessing you don’t have any evidence for that conclusion. But it sounded good all the same If only there was a basis for comparison, e.g. a similar game where points for ...

I am amazed that rugby was allowed to move beyond 3 point tries and to implement the card system. Oh, hang on ... no internet worriers(sic) back then. :thumbup: Yes.
