    British & Irish Lions tour of New Zealand (2017)

    Very true... Thierry Dusautoir (who is retiring at the end of the season) might be one of the few recently who could go toe-to-toe. Certainly not Warburton, but not being as good s McCaw hardly makes you a bad player. The team I would pick (Other than Warburton as Captain) is: 1.Jack...

    England v Australia, Saturday 3 December

    Very different in style... equally predictable I reckon though.

    England v Australia, Saturday 3 December

    Probably not with Gatland at the helm... It will be all bosh merchants who will try and run over the top of New Zealand. Which unsurprisingly won't work

    England v Australia, Saturday 3 December

    Kiwi backs are easily the best in the world, no contest. I reckon their pack would get the wood on the English one at the moment. Not much in the tight 5, but their backrow is clearly better.

    I would hardly say the English pack is the best going... Irish and Kiwi ones are probably easier to play behind. But hey.... they have the English pack to play behind and that appears to be enough for them to be winning games. I'm just not sold on Farrell as a 12.

    From an English perspective we need to make a decision on Ford or Farrell at 10, having both on the field doesn't benefit either IMO. Ford looks better in attack with proper running centres to give him options, but he isn't a reliable goal kicker. Farrell... well he kicks goals. Not much else...

    At least one of your tries should have been given definitely... But Yarde clearly scored his try.

    Intercept try

    Looks worse in slow motion... Penalty at worst. No attempt to even use his arms though

    Do you ever do anything but whinge? You were nowhere to be seen to say good things when your team score but straight on it when anything goes against you.

    Strange decision to brings Youngs off for me. Unless he was starting to flag a little... Maybe the heart rate monitor was saying he was shagged? Otherwise I can't think why

    Dunno how the ref missed that forward pass

    Held up twice.... Though I reckon you guys scored the first one. Still we're not at the races at all today

    Fuck sake, got the nudge in the scrum but forgot the gon clearly

    Lucky with pococks knock on... Youngs should have sent it deep into touch

    England v Australia, Saturday 3 December

    I have to admit, I didn't realise there was such animosity between super rugby sides in Australia. As a Bath fan there are English clubs I don't like, but it is still hard to argue with the inclusion of a lot of Saracens players in the England squad. As for this test, I am worried about our...

    6N France v Italy

    A complete overhaul is never gonna happen. However I did like that in a pregame interview Noves did mention that one of his most important tasks will be getting the clubs and the national side back onto good relations. Can only be good for the health of French rugby of that happens.
