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

    Agreed. Saying that, after Youngs slowed the man down Harrison should have done a lot better. I don't think I've ever had as little confidence in an England back row player as I do in TH.

    He's gone. He's actually bloody gone!

    I hope that, whoever gets the head coach job, they appoint a couple of English assistants with a view to the '23 World Cup.

    He's gone. He's actually bloody gone!

    I don't. It's just the statements made so far, that I have read, seem to suggest the search is starting now that Lancaster has gone. It wouldn't be the first time the RFU has taken what they believe to be a morally principled approach (in this case to not start searching for a coach while one is...

    He's gone. He's actually bloody gone!

    Most concerned about the fact that Farrell appears to still in place. Also Catt and Rowntree, although not to the same extent. Does it worry anyone else that Lancaster appears to have been sacked with no coherent plan on his successor? My argument before the review was that Lanxaster should go...

    Most hated club in the Aviva Prem?

    I get so much enjoyment from watching rugby that I don't think I dislike any of the clubs. I even find it hard to dislike Glous these days. My only reason for disliking them in the past was really down to working with the most arrogant, rude and obnoxious Gloucester imaginable but he was hardly...

    International coach of the year

    A couple of things here: 1) congratulations, I hope you have been enjoying a fantastic campaign and ***le for the all blacks. 2) I didn't say Hansen doesn't deserve the award, quite the opposite. What I said was that I think that others deserve it just as much for what could be seen as...

    Sam Burgess U Turn

    I would say most rugby fans in England, or at least the ones I know, tend to go to sources they know and trust. This doesn't involve many of the sensationalist outlets that barely cover rugby outside of a home World Cup. I haven't seen too many examples of Burgess being blamed through his own...

    International coach of the year

    You are right, they are all worthy nominees. I apologise because I didn't make myself clear enough, I think Hansen would be a worthy winner and wouldn't feel that it was poorly awarded if he got it. The point remains though that many on here are being very dismissive of the idea that coach...

    International coach of the year

    Hansen is clearly a great coach but I would say Jones, Cotter and Chieka have done more with less. I can't agree with the people saying that the winner of the final gives us the answer as that discounts so much of what any team/coach has done before. Obviously the RWC is s benchmark but by that...

    [2015 RWC] Quarter Final 1: South Africa vs. Wales (17/10/2015)

    Surely this is going to be a brutal contest? I wonder if Wales might find it hard to break down the SA defence but I can certainly see a lot of penalties going Wales' way at the breakdown. Finding it hard to even begin to predict this one.

    Prem 2015/16 - Players to watch

    Can they pass from a breakdown without taking several steps before releasing?

    Prem 2015/16 - Players to watch

    Thought Cook looked alright last season but are there any other promising, young English scrum halves coming through in the AP?
