Re: Not Heineken Cup 23/24

I think he's just suggesting they haven't spotted it. I was a bit amazed that no-one mentioned it on commentary, and I could find no mention on social media, which is why I started putting up pics and videos. Astonishingly it seems to have gone under the radar.

Re: The Official English Rugby Thread

The kicking off the tee was really quite poor. I was expecting that to come back and bite us. What's Furbank like off the tee, I wonder? We should go back to 15s kicking for goal. Slade is the obvious alternative as he's kicked several pressure kicks for Exeter this season. Yep, he's already taking...

Re: 6 Nations Round 4 - England V Ireland

Think this is a bit mad to be honest. England were a much better team when Ford was on. Really all Smith did was drop a goal that anyone would have done, under little pressure as he had the penalty. All seems a bit emotional which is fair enough You just don't like his hair I’d never be that shallo...

I don't think I understand the relevance of that; it's slow from Reading/Windsor to Twickenham, but from Twickenham to Waterloo it has regular fast trains, 22 minutes, much the same as Surbiton to Waterloo.

How can you be allowed to appeal for both caught and lbw, when they contradict each other? Is there a blanket appeal these days? It's always been a blanket appeal.

There's no point blaming the coaches, if it's legal and more effective for winning games then coaching it is just... being a good coach.

If you don't want people to do it you have to change the law, you can't just rely on coaches not noticing.
