Tesoo Ireland ! Other supermarkets aren't seeing any, but Tesco have their own distribution network, & it's obviously bolted on to the UK entity because they've had various stock shortages when no-one else did. I was in Dunnes this morning & not a gap to be seen in the F&V shelves I wne...

Are/were Nottingham ever at the top level? I vaguely recall a few Leicester players would go there for some experience, so maybe not - suggest they were a level down. My late Father in Law went down to watch Nottingham at West Bridgford on a fair few occasions, he always seemed to enjoy it, but had...

Ireland are seeing the same shortages

It's a rugby mad region tbf and for the longest time they'd only really had Saints or Tigers as Premiership options. Way before pro rugby started, when I first started following Saints in the early 1970's you also had Coventry as part of the Midlands rugby triangle. Almost as competetive as the Gla...

I think there’s actually less energy devolved than there used to be. The RO was managed by the devolved administrations but CfD contracts are managed from Westminster. The move from the renewables obligation to contracts for difference was an absolute shitshow and put a major choke on renewable dev...

Uk exporting to France was a one off for known reasons, as above. We could of course wonder why the HVDC line to Norway, to access more hydro storage, wasn’t terminated in Scotland, where the excess is generated and where it’s closer. There was a NorthConnect project to link Norway to Scotland, to ...

England would have regular electricity shortages without the export from Scotland. The UK is a net importer of electricity, Scotland and NI are net exporters - England has a significant shortage in generation compared to demand. Been trying to find figures, difficult to pin down exactly but the UK ...

I think Nicola has gone the same way as all the politicians you've mentioned there except maybe Foster and Robinson (I don't know too much about NI) Cameron - went when his political project of one nation Toryism died (brexit) May - went when her political project of not tanking your economy died (...

I disagree especially when the trans issue brought her down. Her speach earlier referrenced her or she being her successsor as well. Self ID has been a major contributory factor in her demise. Nothing brought her down, she resigned out of the blue. That’s a generous reading of the situation. Althou...

Yes I know her partner isn't trans. Her name is very well known, I just thought it added to the thread. It didn't and to be honest shouldn't be used to "add to" anything other than in the correct context. I disagree especially when the trans issue brought her down. Her speach earlier refe...

I would have thought the main reason is that she's painted herself into a corner with the independence strategy.

A win was important, but Italy looked knackered first half from the France game and won the second half when they woke up I think?. We were very lucky with some of the scrum penalties as well. Mako? I think Rapava Ruskin is in when the EPS changes are next allowed I’m sure. I don't think knackered ...

One of the things that baffled me was selecting Farrell as his OH .... against Italy ! :shock: Lets face it, this is traditionally the game you give youth a chance, & take a bit of a punt, & get to see what some of your 3rd tier can do, & instead he put in a player who he's seen for yea...

Mitchell created a try on debut. Made no errors I think. He deserves to get more game time. Nothing like healthy competition to boost performance.

Why are we dropping JVP? I know Mitchell ran sideways and popped a pass off nicely, but looking sharp in the final 20 is always a lot easier than looking that sharp for the previous 60. Though JVP was just fine. On my part it's due to a desire to introduce attacking threat in the backs. Although th...

Dear Santa I would like to see Mitchell and Smith start next match, with Lawrence and Marchant. Arundell on the wing. (sorry OHC we need lucky players). Never going to happen is it?

I wanted to see tactical astuteness and flexibility from Farrell today, together with some excellent broken play space management. What I got was playing the fucking gameplan beyond all common sense. A complete opposite of heads up smart rugby.

Progress of a sorts. Nice to see the England forwards dominating, but the second display was immensely frustrating. Maybe they were told to kick, everything but anyone with half a brain cell could see we didn't need to do that. I reckon I knew that at 14. Farrell had shocker, Slade was meh, Lawrence...

Thank fuck for that, a scrum half who has an eye for space

I don't see any game management from Farrell

We're playing like headless chickens again.

just keep the f ucking thing, have some patience

was he on?

I wish they'd put Mitchell and smith on pdq

stop kicking it away farrell ffs

What is it with the kicking. We are murdering them up front, dont kick the ball away! Keep it tight and roll over them.

Who'd have thought it?
Will smith get a run with Lawrence or will Faz move to 12?

must be a straight swap 10 for 10, hopefully

too much kicking we need to be more patient and retain the ball

You'd bloody well hope so!!! I think we saw, yesterday, that the Scots are actually a pretty good side - and, despite our woeful defence, we weren't far away from beating them. We had the best of the game for 70 mins. With a midfield that looks, defensively, a bit more robust - and Willis in at 7, ...

Nope, Arundell is the future
I want him to get a full season of starting in the Prem under his belt before we annoint him.

I hope to see on at FB today, although more likely will be on for OHC.

I've been consistent since his debut. Steward isn't quick enough to be a top test 15. He's great under the high ball which is very visual but outside of that his contributions are not very dynamic. who do you prefer at 15? Maybe Marcus Smith could play there? Arundell is an option of course. The po...

at times they looked quite good against the Irish, maybe Scotland are actually properly good now
