Just switched to football. Immediately see someone go down screaming in agony after a whisper of contact. Always such a tough transition.
I fell asleep during the first half. God knows why I stick with the game, it’s like duty. Think honestly if I didn’t play it every week myself I’d have given up on football. It’s a dire spectator sport 90% of the timeJust switched to football. Immediately see someone go down screaming in agony after a whisper of contact. Always such a tough transition.

Hope for your sake you don’t watch the Spaniards remaining matches - you’ll be put off the game completelyI do usually enjoy watching it (so long as England aren’t involved!) but the cheating and whining and general wimpishness is really getting to me. It’s been a slow build over many years but it is actually now starting to make me fall out of love with the sport.
Just managed to watch the England NZ game. Really pleased with England overall, remember we were really on our knees 12-18 months ago.In rankings news, Aussie Joe's first win as Wallabies coach saw the men in gold jump from 9th to 8th while Wales dropped out of the top 10 for the first time. Wales have been replaced in the top 10 by Fiji.
Ireland can drop to as low as 3rd if the Springboks beat them in Durban next weekend, with New Zealand taking 2nd spot on World Rugby's rankings should they beat England at Eden Park.
The Springboks will remain #1 whatever happens at Kings Park next Saturday, which means they'll head to Australia as #1 in the world which might finally make the rugby media here actually give a shit about the Wallabies beating the Boks should that happen in Brisbane and or Perth.
So this analysis was apparently created by a South African! Lots of nit-picking about stuff you can’t really blame the referee for missing but the way the TMO intervened to bring up a technical offence when Lowe scored that try is super annoying, considering how he didn’t intervene in other big decisions.
And that Snyman hit on Casey is scummy as feck. He knew damn well the ball was gone and chose to absolutely obliterate a much smaller man regardless.
Here we go. Expecting a better AB performance today but have faith England will bring a lot to the game as well
We have such a paucity of talent at TH. Seems to have been Sincks or Stewart for the last decadeLet's see how straight Ethan de Groot's scrummaging is tonight.
Yeah very pleased. Considering how bad we’ve been in recent years, remember that loss at Twickers to France by about 50 points. We’ve turned a massive corner from thenEngland are looking pretty incisive compared to the last few years. Regardless of the result that's good to see.
Yeah I don’t have a problem with the call, in fact I think Nic Berry reffed it very well throughoutGotta feel for England who have been gallant bur that was the right call to penalise them for obstruction.
A real sliding doors moment in the match, they scored from thatUnbelievable that international players can mess up something as simple as leaving the correct gap in the line out, after being warned by the ref 5 seconds earlier
a valiant effort from the boys. an entire nation, up against 4 public schools. we gave a good account of ourselves.
That was incredible (silly)Unbelievable that international players can mess up something as simple as leaving the correct gap in the line out, after being warned by the ref 5 seconds earlier
Score prediction @Xaviesta ?
Wales never win mate, don’t think they’ve won a game since the World Cup when they played…..erm…..you33-15 Wallabies is my hope but I fear Wales might win. I'm very glass half empty about the Wallabies since the 2015 World Cup.
