Was Jonny always a spiritual guru to oval balls?

Scotsmen can't afford Japan shirts. They'll have spent all their doll money on special brew and iron brew last Tuesday.

Probably wearing a stained kappa T-shirt from an oxfam.

Let me tell you about American Scotsmen. I've seen them wearing rugby shirts at recycling centers, folk music festivals, and other granola areas. They get one bit of money and leave Scotland for America. They all have home counties accents too. Openly admit they speak that way so that people aren't scared of them.

Itv seems to be hosting a therapy session. Only the person holding the ball may talk.

You mean you don't hold your ball when you talk?

Interesting possibly advised it would prolong his career.

Yeah, literally was - they were saying his legs couldn't handle the weight + power output he was producing, and that's why all his joints and hamstrings/calves were just constantly falling apart

 

[AlRums]

How would you know what England are like as losers, we're undefeated in the world cup so far

Against an exceptionally poor Argentina and a very generous referee

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Against an exceptionally poor Argentina and a very generous referee

So generous he gave us a red card in a matter of seconds

 

[Gavin]

Guessing no chance of a Japan win?

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Almost certainly the same issue that Taniela Tupou's been having.

Never say never, we struggled against them for large parts of the game that ended Care's international career until a few months ago, but Japan do look a lot worse than they have done in the last 8yrs
You can never count England out of having a truly shocking day at the office, too

 

[AlRums]

So generous he gave us a red card in a matter of seconds

He more than made up for it

And, the red card was Curry's fault, no-one elses

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Chessum has definitely caught the sun

Actually, tbf, he's very ginger: could've just been the backlight on his kindle screen

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

I think England could be in trouble if they try to do something other than their plan a score in 3s. Sides get in trouble when they try to get cute against non-contenders.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

He more than made up for it

 

[Rugbyfan564]

Japan suffer because it's hard to hide that they have a lot of residency and that rule is not popular.

 

[Jimbo]

Yeah, literally was - they were saying his legs couldn't handle the weight + power output he was producing, and that's why all his joints and hamstrings/calves were just constantly falling apart

Would be awesome if it can give him a few more years for such a talented player he has spent far too much time injured.

 

[Tooting Carmen]

That's a thought: this is the first RWC when England sing "God Save The King".

 

[AlRums]

England fans can't even sing in time with the music!!

 

[Wichita]

Chessum has definitely caught the sun

Actually, tbf, he's very ginger: could've just been the backlight on his kindle screen

Or the heat of the baked beans he had this morning for breakfast

At least it's short.
