    [2024 Six Nations] Scotland vs England - 24/02/24

    Congratulations Scotland. Great to see the Scots so clinical and converting all opportunities. Actually enjoyed some of England’s play too. The multiple errors at crucial moments were frustrating and I hope would get better as a team develops cohesion. I would like to see this England squad...

    Things to love about rugby

    Like you I have really struggled with a waning interest. Watching Top 14 with French commentary has helped a bit. But starting to watch a few of the Prem games again here and there. My positivity about rugby is no matter the comp or the teams; I love how a game can swing momentum so much and...

    [RWC2023 SF2] England vs South Africa (21/10/2023)

    Thank you England. I have struggled to watch, engage and enjoy as an England fan for a while now. This performance regardless of result was so great to see from this team. The passion, effort and determination that has seemingly been lacking previously was there to see in buckets tonight...

    [RWC2023 QF1] Wales vs Argentina (14/10/2023)

    Argentina against England were confused about how to make their advantage benefit and made 14 (I think?) handling errors. Yes England pressured them. But the Argentina side today was much improved and had removed most of those errors. I don’t think Wales were poor at all. Wales lost the game...

    [RWC2023] England vs Samoa (07/10/2023)

    Yep agreed. Farrell has definitely played some of his best the last year or so. There are others in the WC squad that for me shouldn’t be there, e.g. Billy, May etc I also feel that we have seen probably the least amount of players selected out of position in recent England teams for a while...

    [RWC2023] England vs Samoa (07/10/2023)

    Experimental means selecting form players in their specialist position. So… no

    England World Cup Squad

    I do wonder if these training weeks are deliberately more fluid with group selections. This allows players in and out for looking at by coaches but also player welfare of family holiday/time etc and having breaks before the actual full pace of August through to end of World Cup starts. This...

    RWC Kits

    Yes. I loved that shirt a lot and regretted not getting one so much, that I recently found a second hand one and paid out for it. A supporters polo version only, but still in very good condition. Petition to make the centenary shirt the required standard jersey until year 200?

    [2023 TRC] South Africa vs Australia

    Surely for post game entertainment purposes it should be a controversial win for Australia, complete with Eddie trolling in the post game interviews and Rassie biting badly with “cryptic” tweets.

    Tonga RWC Squad

    Really happy to see this rule change have a positive effect. This is a team to get excited about watching. Definitely agree it would be good to tweak the rules to ensure this type of strengthening story and not the changing between Tier 1 sides.

    We Need To Talk About London Irish

    With rumours of Loader to Stormers and Arundell to Racing… Has there been any mention of LI EQ players getting special dispensation for England selection like Worcester/Wasps?

    Top 14 - Phase Régulière.

    Absolutely bonkers try there!

    Top 14 - Phase Régulière.

    Couldn’t help myself and plumped for viaplay access. I mean… it’s Toulouse v Racing! Great first half. A lot of errors though. Toulouse forwards are definitely putting the effort in and making the difference. Finn doesn’t seem to be fully up for this, but maybe that is just how he appears.

    Is there a 6N thread for the Women?

    Superb day out yesterday watching the Roses win the Grand Slam! Awesome atmosphere helped by some very entertaining rugby and beautiful weather too. Was great to see all the stops pulled out like the men’s game with food and bars all open, fan village etc. plus the bumper crowd too. Was sat...

    England 2022/23

    Ignoring the eternal conundrum England have at 9/10/12… I am concerned that 8 is also now a position of unknown and concern. Was excited for Dombrandt but ultimately quite disappointed and meh How likely is a new contender at 8 for the WC? E.g. Mercer, T Willis etc But then selection balance...

    [2023 Six Nations] England Squad

    It’s an interesting thought for Woodward taking over RFU. It shows a frustration and perception that we are not seeing the RFU being run astutely. Would Woodward bring that? I would worry that if Woodward was running RFU, he would also end up micromanaging and interfering with the squad and...
