Are Mitchell and M. Smith the starting pair when fit? Yep. Looks very obvious Smith starts when fit. Same wi...

Pepper looks a tidy player doesnt he?

Tuima as well - getting held up should really lead to an instant hooking.

Hodge looks a player though.

Is this really a good idea? England thought they were playing the full national team. Portugal told them this week they weren't prepared to do that. Has made a mockery of the match. Portugal have had their iconic players retire, and they have no head of the RFU and they have no head coach either. I...

Just watching Eggchasers post match video, gotta say Cockers is just too nice about this.

I mean we're staring down the barrel of a 4th in 5 years 2 from 5. It's just not good enough.

Wendigo7

Beating England mattered to the Scots because no matter how hard they tried they rarely won. Scottish teams were always fired up as they tried to break that record, they were just not good enough. It is possible to be both. Yesterday England were neither good enough or fired up enough. Had they bee...

Looking elsewhere it seems the knives are out for borthwick with the public.

Wendigo7

So if it is Borthwick, will they get rid of him and Wigglesworth if we go 2/5. If we're crap against Ireland I can't see the twickenham faithful being kind.

Wendigo7

We're missing Lawes so much. Itoje carries like a schoolgirl and Roots just isn't good enough to do what Lawes did so often, adding that extra tight carrying from 6. The balance of the pack is wrong throughout and without the go forward from the big boys we'll get nowhere. What IS right with this e...

Wendigo7

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...

Post match review: 1. Genge - 4/10 - Did he do anything good? 2. George - 4.5 - Meh 3. Cole - 6.5/10 - Good in the scrum and was properly putting himself about in the loose. 4. Itoje - 5/10 - He was ok I guess? 5. Chessum - 3/10 - Powderpuff 6. Roots - 4.5 - Did he do anything? 7. Underhill - 7/10 -...

I’d like a Time Machine too.

Sorry about the poach

Wendigo7

Im still not having Slade blind. Agree on the rest, bit harsh on Roots.. but yeah I agree. There is patterns coming. Ford, Care, Slade and Daly I'm not having. Furbank was decent. Fin was tbh meh, but he's 21 I'm not fussed overly and Waboso looks to the manner born. I think Slade and Lawrence is o...

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...

Wendigo7

We've had some bad backlines in our time, but regardless of the coach fudge me we're in a horrific horrific state in the centres.

Wendigo7

Well 24 hours from the first time we will know where Borthwick is going. Our biggest game for many years.

He's been brave, doesn't mean he's right but he's made some brave calls there.

Wendigo7

Wow. Almost botched like last year but hey, these Azzurrini can play some rugby. I’m soooo Happy!!! Think I told you that our win against you was a good one 😉. You are coming on leaps and bounds. I said Italy would do 2 out of 2 this weekend. Got the first one right ☺️ Naaah. Your third rowers will...

Reform posted their pledges this week for a national election. Frankly, I like an awful lot of that. Not all of it, some of it is wishy washy, but it's a very good base to start with.

We aren't the favourites at all.

Apparently the scottish labour branch was broken in to and Labour MPs and colleagues were threatened if they didn't vote a certain way this evening.

This is what happens with Mass immigration and pandering to every f**king loony out there.

What is happening in the House of Commons?! What a farce! It's a bit of a setup by Starmer. That sounds odd, but yeah it actually looks like it is. Gtfo Starmer has as much control over this Speaker as the Tories did over the last. Hoyle has been a total cnut to Labour to show his impartiality like...

France 17-20 Italy

What the hell are they doing in training seriously?

Wendigo7

England might lose by 500 runs here. Really really pathetic performance.

Wendigo7

Well. That was utterly horrific. What an embarrassing, embarrassing display. They all look like pricks and they deserve all of it. Yep - horrific display. Not entirely surprising. They refuse to adapt and only play one way. Root simply doesn't need to go down the bazball route - he's too good to ke...

Nope. Rodney don't do it. We're getting skittled tomorrow. Don't do hope.

I don’t even know what Stuart does. Is he a scrummaging 3, is he a mobile 3, is he a big hitter or carrier? It’s not obvious at all. Which leads me down the road that he does fûckall I suppose, like many matches, we try to rate players when in the majority of games most players have unremarkable pe...

Possibly Rod. George said that Maro set a target last week of maximum 8 penalties given away, they gave away 8. This week was 7. They gave away 7 penalties, not too bad. 6 in the first half and one in the second. Also said the team is focusing heavily on 2nd half performances. They identified that f...

Always interesting that sometimes perception isn't reality. Borthwick in his press conference, said that in round 1 of the 6 nations, England kicked 5th out of 6th, in most kicks in a match. Ireland, France, Scotland and Italy kicked more than us. Now it certainly doesn't feel that way, but maybe it...

It's the rules petros. I thought Doleman got the technicalties right, and used his TMOs well. It's just I personally didn't like the decisions (the chessum call I'm not having, just how long does he need to go to be safe, he can't NOT exist) The rules are the problem. If we're all honest with oursel...

Wendigo7

I think everyone fancies their chances against that French team atm. Italy will play rugby all day if they are that passive.

Scotland lost through their own negativity and luck. France should be 0 from 2, and staring down the barrel bar a technicality.

What it used to be.

10 seconds from ref signalling knock on to Scrum taking place.
Swings and roundabouts. There used to be a lot more scrums (and lineouts).

Did it all total 3 fecking minutes in a match? We had that for 1 scrum alone

Ticket price argument doesn’t really stand up as the problem. England football friendly rickets start at£110 and climb rapidly. And the crowd there is almost exclusively “working class” A lot, lot easier to do that when it's your national sport and it dominates every sporting and cultural column in...
