[Bada-Bing!]

Post up discussion on upcoming tests versus the Wallabies.

I think this sums up the feelings - from both sets of fans, somehow.

6 years ago I was working in a pub rather than being a senior engineer. It feels a long time for me.

6 years ago, I was under 40
Age and waist band

 

[BPM]

Haha - same here. Thankfully still under 40 inch waist though.

Safe to say, I’m no longer in my prime.

Right, that sarcasm was too subtle. Noted.

Rewatching the 2016 tour is bittersweet; such a great set of games, but England haven't looked like having that desire to win for nearly three years now. Maybe a flash against the Springboks in autumn '21.

Go Go Nowell!

He got a go at centre off the bench in the Barbarians debacle last week. Is this the shape of things to come, with the absence of strong centres? More importantly, is debacle the shape of things to come for England? It seems to be an ongoing theme...

I think we can have parity with Oz up front, but England's backline has all the punch of a wet bogroll.
