Re: Lancaster is not the coach, Farrel is. Burgess is disrup

Farrell? History. Now he's trying to re-write it. Lancaster? Back to the drawing board - preferably in some minor public school Catt? - he's always just been short, as a player and now a coach. Never an out n out 10, nor an out n out centre. Funereal atmosphere. ERU should set firm dates. FFS end th...

Re: England v Uruguay match thread.

Wasted opportunity again!! Jeez Lancaster is thick - though I don't suppose he cares about this match being preparation for a new era (he won't be part of it!!). Why play Robshaw? Surely he's history now? He's Lancaster's man. They're both history. Youngs - too small for an international hooker. Col...

French refs are having a great WC.

Now it's coming to the business end of the WC expect SH refs to start favouring SH sides - especially if it's close.

Good dissection - although it all happened in seconds and would be second nature to an experienced International centre(s). Both B's were negligent going forwards and in defence.

Re: What is going on with the anti-English stuff?

The reality is that if England were KO'd it would diminish the interest in the WC generally. The cock-up was back in 2012 when Wales were ridiculously ranked at 9 in the world ranking and ensured that 3 top teams were inevitably gonna be in the same group. Losing any one of Wales/Aus/Eng is disastro...

Re: Official Wales v Fiji RWC Pool A Match Thread!

Well yeah, I'd take any win too - 3-0 even. But my point is that Wales can't have that attitude. Gats knows that. 'No slacking' and the threat of being dropped.

Wales must go out there to annihilate them. Positive attitude. BP by 60 minutes.
