    Izzy Folau

    Rugby League aren't interested. It wouldn't be a good look for them to hire him after being sacked for hate speech. https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/nrl-wont-allow-sacked-israel-folau-to-rejoin-the-nrl/news-story/11f3a89a0d7a7378b7511ee6dcdf8781

    [2019 Six Nations] England v Scotland (16/03/2019)

    It's a big worry. The problem is, there are a few tries we probably wouldn't score with Brown on as he doesn't have Daly's pace, passing or vision. Do we hope and pray Watson can find some form? I'm not sure, I think Jones sees him as a winger, really.

    [2019 Six Nations] Wales v Ireland (16/03/2019)

    Amazing performance by Wales! They really do seem like an amazing team - far more than the sum of their parts. I honestly think that on paper Wales are bang average, but they really play well as a combination. Hats off to Gatland, Edwards (especially for their recent defensive displays!) and...

    [2019 Six Nations] England v Scotland (16/03/2019)

    I don't think Eddie Jones will change anything, but does anyone else think that we would have stopped a couple of the Scottish tries with Brown or an actual fullback on the pitch? Daly, for everything great he does in attack, doesn't seem to ever stop tries when the opposition break through the...

    [2019 Six Nations] Ireland vs France (10/03/2019)

    Rory Best's knees hit the floor with a Frenchman holding him, then he got up and went again. Double movement? No?

    [2019 Six Nations] Ireland vs England (02/02/2019)

    I'm not irish, but that seems a poor plan, .especially aginstnte All Blacks or Australia or Scotland. Any attacking based side rea;lly.

    [2019 Six Nations] Ireland vs England (02/02/2019)

    Is Murray a good replacement thought? He isn't really the the 9 to chase a game. Best is a more obvious replacement

    Curry's yellow was 100% BULLSHIT. Wasn't even a penalty. Glad it wasn't costly. #still want Underhill

    Joseph is probably a better shout than Slade, but I'd rather see Slade and Tuilagi than T'eo and Tuilgi

    [2019 Six Nations] Ireland vs England (02/02/2019)

    I can't wait till the old-guard of rugby commentators disappear... Wilkinson, o'Dricoll, Gareth Thomas he wasn't on this weekend, but very good) and Paul O'Connell are miles ahead of the usual.

    [2019 Six Nations] Ireland vs England (02/02/2019)

    Ok, so Slade looked average at bet over the Autumn, but today, he look good. I hope this gives him to confidence to to do what he does for Exeter every week for England. I also wrote tis after 5 pints, so tomorrow he may not have looked so good, but I thought he did Hughes was ****. As always.

    [2018 November Tests] England vs Australia (24/11/18)

    Few quick thoughts: - We actually looked pretty good at times today in attack. Farrell still doesn't threaten the line at all from 10 so we do need some good go forward before our centres do much. - Slade and Shields have gotten steadily better over the series, both arguably having their best...

    [2018 November Tests] England vs Australia (24/11/18)

    Who does the post-match interviews for Sky should be pulled up on her questioning of players after games. Isn't the first time this autumn she has seemed to be trying to cause a controversy. Well done, Hooper.

    England Rugby 2018/19 Thread

    So, what do we want to see against Aus? Personally, I want to see us give them a good hiding. They're out of sorts this year and we should be looking to rub salt in. 1. Moon 2. Hartley 3. Williams (He wasnt great vs Japan, but give him another chance. Plus, I think Sinks is best as impact) 4...

    [2018 November Tests] Ireland vs New Zealand (17/11/18)

    Late to the party here, but Jesus, what a game! Well done Ireland, I was a bit nervous for you in the last 10 mins. Felt like the ABs had started to find a bit of space at the end, but you hung on. This year we've seen a clear game plan to tackle this ABs side. Pressure rugby. South Africa and...

    [2018 November Tests] England vs Japan (17/11/18)

    I believe Ashton was injured. Though he was also terrible. Looked completely disinterested.

    [2018 November Tests] France vs Argentina (17/11/18)

    French, like the Springboks, seem to be finally dragging themselves out of the mire that their international team has been in for the last 8/9 years or so. Brunel seems to have galvanised them and they have some serious talent starting to come through. Still think they are a few years behind the...

    [2018 November Tests] England vs New Zealand 10/11/18

    Officially you have 5 seconds from when the ball is at the back of the ruck before the ref calls use it, then you have another 5 seconds, I believe. Having just watched it, Perenara (spelling?) picks the ball up at 5 seconds from when it appears at the back of the ruck. He doesn't spend much...

    [2018 November Tests] England vs New Zealand 10/11/18

    As someone that plays SH, the amount of people you meet that don't know this rule is ridiculous, especially since it has been that way for a few years now.

    [2018 November Tests] Scotland vs Fiji (10/11/18)

    Same old story for Fiji. Flashes of brilliance, but just can't string it together for 80 mins against Tier One opposition. For Scotland, the combination of Laidlaw and Russell seems really keen to me. Russell's skillset and attitude is vital to the way they try to attack: fast and wide...
