    [November Tests 2016 EOYT] England vs. Argentina (26/11/2016)

    Very risky game for England. Argentina played well at Twickenham against Australia, and a language neutral French ref will help them.

    [November Tests 2016 EOYT] England vs. Argentina (26/11/2016)

    Argentina are weak in attack without Hernandez, his handling ability opens up defenses.

    [November Tests 2016 EOYT] England vs. South Africa (12/11/2016)

    SA actually already have a lot of players out but Etsebeth brings an irreplaceable physical edge SA needed today. There is little doubt his injury was a key point in the match, the penalty count had built against England and their scrum was up the left. Itoje is good but also a bit overhyped...

    [November Tests 2016 EOYT] England vs. South Africa (12/11/2016)

    lol maybe, either way SA disintegrated after that. I'm glad England won though, the Eddie Jones show rolls on.

    [November Tests 2016 EOYT] England vs. South Africa (12/11/2016)

    England won that game with a Vunipola headbutt on Etsebeth. Until that point, they were second best at the rucks, the scrums, the maul, the penalty count and the scoreboard.

    [November Tests 2016 EOYT] England vs. South Africa (12/11/2016)

    Mr Jones doesn't get to decide any of that, it's down to the men on the pitch. Ultimately, you can't mess with eight angry men who are much bigger and stronger than you. The NZ team found that out in 2009 when they were whitewashed by the Bok pack 3-0. Let's be honest, England are much more...

    [November Tests 2016 EOYT] England vs. South Africa (12/11/2016)

    The Boks are going to steamroll England who are ill-equipped to deal with their physicality. Australian forwards dominated England for the whole game in the second test and they are relative pusswads. The Bok forwards are two steps up again and England don't have the nous in the backs to...

    [November Tests 2016 EOYT] England vs. South Africa (12/11/2016)

    The Bok pack is positively monstrous, Eddie's plans are going to count for jack-sh*t if they get a rumble on. The best coaches in the world can be made to look like clueless onlookers by what takes place on the field.

    [November Tests 2016 EOYT] Italy vs. New Zealand (12/11/2016)

    Good shout, that NZ scrum was an embarrassment. They got lucky with that antipodean referee. If it had been a French one, they were done for.

    [November Tests 2016 EOYT] England vs. South Africa (12/11/2016)

    Much of what I have read Eddie Jones saying about Daly appears to relate to his kicking ability, more specifically the big boomer off the left foot. That makes 9, 10, 12, 13, 14 & 15 all kicking options for England. Jones also mentioned the conditions. It may well be that England are going to...

    June International Test: Australia vs. England [3rd Test] (25/06/2016)

    This isn't a peak, it's just the beginning. The peak will be RWC final 2019, tournament progress that Ireland will never experience. - - - Updated - - - Do you not think if he was too unfit it would have shown up on their screens? They're hooked up to GPS you know, that's how most...

    June International Test: Australia vs. England [2nd Test] (18/06/2016)

    NZ won't play England until Autumn 2017. This England team has a lot of improvement in them though. So much to sort out before then.

    June International Test: Australia vs. England [2nd Test] (18/06/2016)

    More like 90% and 10% and the latter is probably generous. If Jones wasn't there keeping a tight rein on everything, do you think Hartley would be keeping a lid on things? Probably not.

    Why are Europeans so obsessed with Scrums ?

    The ABs were humiliated by Italy for a good 10 minutes, Dickinson of the woeful scrummaging nation of Australia didn't have the cohones to award the penalty try. Henry & Hansen thoroughly embarrassed, couldn't accept it and dragged the Kiwi Paddy O'Brien to a hotel room to bully him over it...

    June International Test: Australia vs. England [2nd Test] (18/06/2016)

    Word to the wise, you don't get 50 & 70 caps if you only have two good games. It seems unfashionable players have to have great games and win motm awards to drill it home that they're worthy of their place.

    Why are Europeans so obsessed with Scrums ?

    If you watched the series between Australia & England, you would see the importance of the scrum.
