Mako should definitely not start the next Test. He had a poor game on Sat. probably because of the conditions. He gave away 4 penalties and received a yellow card. I think he would make an impact off the bench if he could cut out the mistakes.

Yarde is having a mare

Brilliant from Brown again

Robshaw having his face rubbed by Creevy's forearm on the floor. This is getting testy.

Hartley falling out with the #pumas pack

Tom Curry must be the youngest forward ever to play for England in a Grade A Test. Is Underhill injured? 10,12,13, looking a bit lightweight. edit: Underhill still got neck injury

"I've seen Farrell and Ford talking in the past but the only English forward who seems to make it a priority is the Kiwi Captain." I think that James Haskell always has plenty to say, and so does Maro Itoje who has been England Captain at every level he's played except senior level, yet.

I would love to see him go to NZ and experience playing for the Lions against the ABs.

TBH I don't think the result of the Ireland game will have any bearing on Hartley's England future.

I did say before the game about his wrong decision making to give a lineout against Wasps after time, but I was told that he was still a decent ref.. His performance on Saturday was poor IMO and as you say he needs more games at a lower level before being considered for internationals again.

England will delay a decision on whether Farrell will be fit to play, until an hour before kick-off. No-one else will be called up to the squad so England will rely on the 24 picked earlier in the week, with May moving onto the bench if Farrell doesn't make it. This begs the question of what...

Thanks for the advice.

Billy Vunipola got through 72 minutes unscathed today. He and brother Mako looked good.

I think Clifford is too slow of thought at the moment. After seeing it back again I feel he was at fault for Wales' try from L Williams, by being too slow off the base of the scrum which meant both Ford and Farrell hadn't moved across as they should have.

WUM = Wind Up Merchant but in your case Welsh Utter Moron Lol Lol Lol I'm kidding of course......or am I?

Billy Vunipola could feature for Saracens this weekend. He has been training with Saracens all week and a decision over whether he can face the Falcons on Sunday will be made after the final training session on Friday. If he gets through the session and proves his fitness in the game, Vunipola...

It's not me saying it, I am quoting 'Five Key Areas of Refereeing' which has been ensconced into the Laws of Rugby. Look it up.

I'm well aware there are differing Laws between a ruck and a tackle, But what I am saying is that the Law enforcement guidance says that as far as offside is concerned there is only 'the breakdown' which includes both ruck and tackle.

A tackle is a breakdown, and until a ruck is formed then players can 'jackel' to try and overturn possession. What I am saying is that the instruction given to refs does not differentiate between 'the tackle' and 'the ruck' as Poite did.
