It's impossible to say enough about their wimmin though. As unfair as it gets. Magic might dislike them too. Regardless Nope. A fair Russian maiden Katya tragically lost our child - but that's another story. She despised Putin too. Mind you, she pretty much despised Poles and much of British youth ...

I think he must do the following: Sort out his contract - to ensure he is in control Recruit HIS coaching team Get the 50 best Eng players - wherever they are - on a fitness programme Tell them in no uncertain terms that the future starts NOW- December/January 1. He must jettison a lot of the attitu...

I've met many Russians, both in the Far East and Europe. By and large they are pretty much disliked - for their unworldliness, cheapness, ignorance, lack of manners, style etc. And they don't care. They have been so shut off from the world during 'communism', fed absolute guff about the West etc and...

Lancaster is history - and thus, so is Farrell (and hopefully the scrum coach). Ergo.... Burgess wouldn't make the Saxons or the D team. He doesn't want to hang around in Bath for 2 years, never getting picked for Eng and trying to be a 6 (he'd get targeted here quickly and soon discover it ain't no...

Why don't they issue apologies for Joubert's WC final 2011 to France? Or for Joubert's reffing Wales v Oz 3 years ago? The guy has been a biased ref for years - the players and coaches know. Why the f**k doesn't anyone come out and say so?? Because they can't. It would destroy the ethos of our game...

3 of those first - half penalties were doubtful - jeez even the Guardian said that yesterday!! And they matter!! They affect players, bad decisions. I just wish coaches and players would just come out and speak their minds instead of hiding behind pathetic cliches!!! It won't change until they do!!!...

Magic

You guys just don't geddit. Joubert destroyed Wales v Australia 3 years ago down under in the last 10 mts. He destroyed France v NZ in the WC final 4 years ago. He's destroyed Scotland in the last 5 minutes. There's a pattern here. He should never be allowed to ref another game when it's NH v SH. He...

I'm sure Robshaw was lined up to do similar - oooops

Great tournament, shite ITV coverage. Pundits the usual suspects - non-controversial, conservative tripe. Should've had a 30 mt bulletin every evening - with real analysis from honest ex-players. Lots of topics. Forward pass tries? Crooked feeds? Second tier schedules? Glaring ref mistakes? Technolo...

Schama and Miliband etc., being the descendants of refugees, are great examples of exactly why we should've kept their parents out. To have to listen to prats like these, prattling on all day about what a great benefit these refugees/economic migrants will bring to the UK makes me sick. For every ar...

It's simple. If A intends to shoot B, misses and shoots C instead, A's malice (evil intent) is transferred from B to C, Simple. Why the fudge couldn't the Pro explain it as simply so that even that dumb judge could understand. He intended to shoot the 'burglar' but shot his gf instead!! Farking simp...

Magic

This case pisses me off. The judge, some fat black bint obviously a political placement by the ANC completely f**ked up the law on transferred malice. I thought the Pro were appealing?? Basically he intended to kill or cause GBH to another person - the fact that he shot his gf instead of his suppose...

Magic

This is obvious fraud. KC was kept going because the Tories were scared of being labelled 'heartless' and 'racist' (most of their 'clients' you will find are black or mixed race) et al especially by our national broadcaster the BBC - which of course Yenyob (sic) is a bigwig. The whole edifice of it ...

Magic

That prick Prestorious is lucky he wasn't dating a US gal in the US of A!!

And he's out next Tuesday!! Unbelievable. Mind you OJ got away with it. Guess there's one law for athletes and another for the rest of them.

Magic

NZ finalists so it can't be Joubert after his homer final 4 years ago.

The only Gayboy in the Welsh Village is a cert.

Thought the Frenchies have been good so far - the Irish are a joke Clancy??

Magic

Is it just me that read that heading as 'a cop in the US is to be executed for killing someone?'

As in Dirty Harry to be executed?

Magic

Fraud Squad should look at this.

KC took millions from government and private companies. They purport to have helped c37000 kids.
They have passed on to local authorities c 1,700 case files.

Follow the money!!!

Magic

Every try should be reviewed quickly to look for forward passes - NZ have had at least 3!! Some of their 'offloads' are forward throws!! Review crooked feeds into the scrum - this is sooooo frustrating to see time and time again. Crooked throw-ins. With all the technology so many games are marred by...

Magic

Just some opinions to get off my chest. North. 4. an international winger would've scored that try - why o why did he go inside?? He's not developed since the Lions tour. Props? we held them for 60 mts. Good effort I thought. Our kicking was appalling. From all the backs. Referee? Thought J had a g...

Magic

Wales' final? Yesterday?

I think it'll be their third 'final' Saturday.

They had to beat England, had to beat Aus to get an easy ride, and now have to beat SA for NZ.

A game too far.

I think with their injuries but still battling on has been pretty heroic - in rugby terms.

I met Alex Cuthbert on tour a couple of years ago. An utter, utter plum, I'm afraid there's no other word for it. Always makes me smile when he's shown up for the useless International player he is. He looks shot. No confidence, no drive, no defence. He looks to have dropped 7 kgs too. Looks skinny...

What a coincidence - Healey then Howe. The bruiser and the dead sheep. Both giants in their own ways. The dead sheep thing is all I remember him for His first budget criticised by 364 economists!! And now deemed to have kick-started the 80's Thatcher revolution? And his resignation speech? Broken c...

Magic

I think AB's, Boks and Oz all look pretty good.

Wales, France, Argentine and Ireland looking good - but definitely second tier at the moment.

Scotland? no chance.

Hate the corny lyrics and tune - but the Dame's rendition is the best.

Browns monosyllabic interview post match Eng v Oz

Both giants in their own ways.

I'm hammered. Just back from Against the Grain after drinking a feed of Polar Vortex beer. Lovely Cork beer I have to say. Very worried about Sunday. Power will decide the match and we can't match the French for power. I'm worried about the backrow battle, Picamoles is going to run riot unless we d...

Most are - and at any rate are in their own world.

Magic

I agree.

And it's not as if they don't keep getting the rub with refs either is it?

Magic

2007 QF? Barnes? I thought he was inept. Solicitors out of their depth often are. 7 year old? One always knows one has won the argument when one's opposer regresses to personal insults. Let me reiterate. There isn't a rugby correspondent, coach, commentator et al - except for the die-hard, knuckle h...

If Jourbet is the ref you have nothing to worry about - whether it's Ireland or France. However, if France are your opponents I would expect them to demand that Jourbet cannot ref them again - and certainly not against NZ. As a neutral 4 years ago that was the most inept, biased and troubling reffin...

Magic

It'll come down to the interpretation of Jourbet - and his history in reffing Oz v Wales indisputably points him to favouring the Crims. If it's close watch him closely - his eyes will be on Wales infringing at the breakdown - and not on Oz. He is of course the ref that ruined the final 4 years ago!...

Magic

Australia had better pray Genia stays fit.

That Phipps looked like a match-winner Saturday - for England!!

Magic

I think, in some respects this could be an easier game for Wales than against England. England were so defensive and negative despite winning so much ball - but Oz will come out to play. May, just may, play into our hands. If we get parity with Jourbet (I doubt it judging from previous Oz v Wales ga...

Blatter is history. The really good news is Platini has had to go too - albeit only for 90 days. He was deemed the future. Even England have stupidly been backing his bid. He's at least as corrupt as all the others. 1.3 m to not stand against Blatter? A 'delayed' payment from 8 years ago for service...

French refs are the most impressive so far.

SH refs appalling - as is Clancy.

But in this PC world it'll go to Nigel. They're making plans for Nigel - song?

I've lived in the Village Walthamstow since '94. It's changed soooo much. Quite black, very Muslim and now full of E Europeans - try going down the market!! For better or worse it's not the place it was. The Village in particular is now very yuppie, retro restaurants and gastro pubs. Mass brawl? Cou...

I don't want to believe any of this shit. Upset over headphones? I don't believe this slight inconvenience should have any bearing on a professional to go out and perform for his country. And I don't think it did. It's all getting ridiculous now. I'm bored of these dribs n drabs of tittle-tattle. Sa...
