    [2021 Six Nations] Ireland v England (20/03/2021)

    Wasnt this specifically part of Jones’ remit when he got the job? Im sure I remember something about it at the time.

    [2021 Six Nations] France vs Wales (20/03/2021)

    I don’t think Wales are asking for sympathy tbh. But that aside, there’s a world of difference between being 4 games from a GS and being minus 1 minute away. hence, the emotional point.

    [2021 Six Nations] France vs Wales (20/03/2021)

    There’s no room for this sort of objectivity on the internet damn you. (hard to disagree though).

    [2021 Six Nations] France vs Wales (20/03/2021)

    Objectively sure, but you must see that there’s a difference in the context of both the game and the tournament. You’re premise is that being 4 games from a GS is the same as being less than a minute from one, which only makes sense if you take any emotion from situation and without emotion...

    [2021 Six Nations] Italy vs Wales (13/03/21)

    So it’s a bad thing but rather than acknowledge the point because I said it about the Welsh game, you get all hissy and call me a hypocrite. Seems you’ve taken it very personally so if you wanna get all uptight about some imagined inference then fair enough. But you might want to dial down the...

    [2021 Six Nations] Italy vs Wales (13/03/21)

    Easy on the whataboutism mate, where did I say that was any better? It was pertinent to the comment, which is why I brought it up. Do you think it a good thing? I have no idea from your response.

    [2021 Six Nations] Italy vs Wales (13/03/21)

    A bit late but doesn’t look like anyone knows - the female match commentator was Non Evans. I personally found both her and Shane way ott today in their gushing over Wales. Sure they played well and have a great chance of a slam but to hear those tso talk, you’d think Wales had proven...

    [2021 Six Nations] England vs France (13/03/21)

    I’m far from Farrell’s biggest fan but his place kicking was flawless, he had the equal second highest tackle count in the side and made 18 passes - some of which had very nice delays to create space. He definitely played his part today Imho.

    Premiership Rugby 20/21 - Rd 12

    I can see the sense in that but if poor technique is going to become an offence then aren’t they going to have build it into the laws? The ref‘s view was clearly that Thorley should have got lower but there’s nothing in the laws about that so far as I can see and the actual tackle was legal.

    Premiership Rugby 20/21 - Rd 12

    I genuinely need someone to explain to me why it’s a red. If had a look at the laws and guidance framework but I just can’t see how a clash of heads in a tackle that wasn’t high classes as even a pen, let alone a red. So I’m stumped - if someone can point me to what I’m missing I’d appreciate...

    Farrell - 8 passes for a player who acts as I/C and second first receiver?

    [2021 Six Nations] England vs Italy (13/02/21)

    Coaches never say anything before matches. Interviewing them is a complete waste of time and only done to fill airtime I think.

    [2021 Six Nations] England vs Italy (13/02/21)

    Hell, I’d settle for us putting a winger into some space of our own making. I honestly can’t remember the last time that happened.

    [2021 Six Nations] England vs Italy (13/02/21)

    Well I didn't get it 100% right on prediction but (as I do say so myself) got Lawrence/Ford and Wilson/Lawes bang on (didn't think they'd double down on the Sarries with MV nor did I think LCD would get a start). It's all a bit depressing tbh and a 6/2 bench split - wtf?

    [2021 Six Nations] England vs Scotland (06/02/21)

    Thing is, I expect the team to be very similar and we will be much better. The Sarries players will all be better for some game time with George and Itoje being worthy of their places (based on whatever form they’ve had in the last year). What I find depressing is that you can put money on...

    [2021 Six Nations] England vs Scotland (06/02/21)

    What’s most relevant today though is that with 20 to go, England need a score. Jones’ response is to replace a barnstorming centre (who’s seen no ball all game) with a creative flyhalf and keep the guy whose been stifling the attack all day (and has had no game time at all in months) on the...

    [2021 Six Nations] England vs Scotland (06/02/21)

    Better side won and should have been by more. Personally think England guilty of hubris - can’t have that many players in your side with no rugby under their belts and expect it not to be a problem. No doubt Jones thought home advantage would see us home but ain’t quite the same without...

    Tbh, it’s all logic when it comes to genes. It’s just complicated (I work in genetics).
