    [2024 Six Nations] England vs Wales - 10/02/24

    Nerves. Daffodil hats, painted faces, land of out fathers and all that nonsense can do one. I want to win. I'm off to the nearest tap house to calm the nerves and think about my irrational hatred that always happens on this game day

    [2024 Six Nations] Italy vs England - 03/02/24

    So Roots. Is he any good? Better than B Curry or Pearson? Ignoring the real reason he shouldn't be picked

    [2024 Six Nations] Italy vs England - 03/02/24

    Know what to expect. Who leaks to the times every game. I would rather have hope for longer. Unless the times is wrong 🤞😭

    [2024 Six Nations] Italy vs England - 03/02/24

    By default he'll have to pic one or two players we like, out of position of course 😭

    [2024 Six Nations] Italy vs England - 03/02/24

    if we want it we wont see it, if we don't want it we will. just pick you're least favourite XV from the squad, that will be our line up.

    England 2023/24

    Is Max Ojomoh injured? Hasn't played in the last couple of games.

    England 2023/24

    Haven't seen much of Kelly this season but thought he was good vs Saracens at the weekend. Looked sharp, solid and faster. He wore 13 but cropped up at 12 a few times.

    England 2023/24

    I'm all for unions for any workforce. But I'm really not sure on one run by current players who are paid handsomely by the ERFU. I worry it could strengthen players position in the squad and with management when some might not deserve to be there. It just looks like a 'jobs for the boys' club...

    England 2023/24

    Farrell first captained England in 2018 and became first choice captain that year. He was named club captain of Saracens in 2021. Just give it to someone who is likely to play every game, and is at least decent and not a complete dick. Itoje is a good a shout as anyone right now.

    England 2023/24

    So Owen Farrell is taking a break from international rugby. I hope his mental health for him and his family improves. On the Rugby side it's a positive thing, without an established guaranteed starter breathing down their neck a no10 can really make a name for themselves. Or it brightens up our...

    [RWC2023 QF3] England vs Fiji (15/10/2023)

    Exactly this. Horses for courses approach, hence Smith is a better shout here. Steward would be for other games. Helps if we had a decent game plan like, but meh. We can't have everything :D

    [RWC2023 QF3] England vs Fiji (15/10/2023)

    We're allowed to critique a player with 100 caps, just because he's been good in the past and is England's record scorer doesn't mean he should be void of criticism. We don't want him to play a loose game, but he can't even execute the basics, and the game has changed throughout his career and...

    [RWC2023 QF3] England vs Fiji (15/10/2023)

    Remember Cipriani vs SA away and he kicked through for May to score. The look of disgust on Farrells face when he did it says it all.

    [RWC2023 QF3] England vs Fiji (15/10/2023)

    If we have to start Farrell I'd rather it be at 10. Let's be clear tho, despite his successes for Saracens I think Farrell is absolute dogshit, it's not about playing free flowing rugby, but I don't think he can execute a game plan successfully anymore. My son hates rugby, likes football and...

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

    And was the starting 15 of a team that reach the RWC final. He's definitely had his chance as the first choice 15

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

    I know from your posts you like to ask questions, maybe play devils advocate a little. I'll happily bite (this isn't a criticism btw, its good to be challenged) Saracens have plenty of strength in depth to win those trophies. Yes Farrell is their preferred 10 but the platform that Saracens...

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

    Seeing a lot of people moaning that we are deliberately leaving team announcements as late as possible. I may be wrong but all our announcements have been made 48 hours before kick off. So we will know the line up by 16:45 Thursday 5th. The Ireland team should be out by 20:00, and the Wales game...
