No, but if numpties want to sully the lovely crisp with extruded corn snacks like Nik Naks then let them display their foolishness to the masses

Just wait for the England v Wales match. There will be some crazy analysis that shows the Welsh have all the better players, followed by a prediction that England will win due to home advantage, and corrupt officials who have been isssued a directive by WR that England must win.

Don't upset him guys. HE may ask for his account to be deleted again and throw yet another tantrum. Go easy on him. Yes, the handful of nothing-posters throwing tired old barbs at me is really 'upsetting me'. Mate, over the years I've been targeted by the biggest hitters this forum has ever known. ...

For example I have never seen one reference to Wayne Barnes on this forum without reference to the 2007 QF. Absolutely obsessed.
Maybe that is our catnip for the English posters. (It works that way)

One mention of Alain Rolland is quicker

Whilst we are talking about bromance, is anyone else disappointed that Openclash has got a girlfriend? He hardly posts on here anymore Perhaps you should give it a go yourself.

So, can we deduce from this that Hartley was a monster scrummager? That appears to be the pervading thinking on the bored, despite the evidence of him hitting rucks about as hard as custard in the last year or two. I need some convincing that someone so soft in contact is a beast up front. Some peo...

Directly targeting UK citizens who are fighting for Isis smacks of an extra judicial process, especially if operations were carried out without the appropriate legal niceties being in place. Not that I have any sympathy for the cúnts being killed. Don't forget Cammy has 'leanings' towards another g...

I must admit I have never agreed with the consensus (non-kiwi at least) that France were unlucky in that final. The kiwis dominated the first half and the first 10 minutes of the second half. France had a purple patch 20 minutes and then the kiwis looked comfortable for the last 10 with the French n...

Unless Wales find a striker it will be a brutal return to international tournament football.

Rubbish, England haven't had a half-decent striker since Lineker and look how well they've done

If we do make it, and remains a big 'if' as we're dreadful and unlucky, we all do realise we're going to get battered, yes? Horribly and humiliatingly battered. Think England but worse. I don't think we will, we are likely to be 1st or 2nd seed. We may not meet a truly world class team until the qu...

I really hope you guys make it to the tournament. Come so close so many times before. Hope the Nordies make it too.

Sadly looking like one of Scotland and RoI won't make it either unless Poland f Up.

Only some of Kenny Logans efforts for wasps in the HC were more ridiculous. Like a veteran prop taking pot shots on a tour game.

The disappointing thing about England heading in to the RWC was that after the 6N we were seen to have a formidable tight five. Now it's seen as a potential achilles heel - especially around the set-piece. They've been in camp longer than Julian Clary .. what gives? Hartley and a different second r...

I think the lineouts were problematic due to the competition in the air. Though George does seem to put them just right, making competition much tougher. Youngs does enough elsewhere for me to make up for that, however George for the last 30 does look nice. I'd suggest considering Parling + Launch....

Made it on to prime time TV on Saturday (Ch4 7am :blush: ) Training related so I'll stick it here Outlaw Triathlon highlights and they show me crossing the finish line (about 2 seconds of air time)!

Marrmong has made this thread unreadable. Can someone set-up a Marmong free Official English Rugby thread and I'll promise to ban him if he comes within a light year of it?

By the way I have found Chris Froome to be a very, very brave man to finish that stage without losing huge bags of time, considering he had a broken foot... he's a tough man. He finished ahead of the whole Sky team except Boswell. With a broken foot. Over 6 categorized mountains (the easiest being ...

It seems to be accepted fact that increasing the amount of points for tries will result in more cynical infringing. I'd like to know if something similar occurred when tries went from 4 to 5 points? Of the all-time top 10 international points scorers, only 3 started their careers in the 4-point-try...

Does the English squad really consist of a QC? Am I being whooshed? :x ;) Let the 2015 RWC mind games begin! The mind games for 2015 Rugby World Cup have began with England criticising Michael Cheika’s decision to take only two hookers to England. Cheika alert! England, who always carry a QC as an ...

He fell early on and had a chase up the first big climb to get back in. Astana and Movistars big chance to make him suffer

I'm not saying he's not a doper (as I don't know either way) but I've read a few times that his race history shows decent progression from a young age with no unexplained jumps in form. He's freakishly tall compared to the traditional sprinter build as well which may mean he's just a bit of a freak...

Ignoring the WUM element of the OP, do people really think that Bolt is clean?

I generally like the squad - I think you pick your first choice 23 and then fill the rest of the squad with potential gamechangers/tactical options I wouldn't have taken either Goode or Wrigglesworth for a start and I don't rate Watson Would certainly have taken Cips, Eastmond and probably Ashton an...

And yet several people have somehow read that to mean that Hartley is now going to be picked for the WC squad, in some unprecedented u-turn by Lancaster.
