Have host cities been decided on for the US RWC? I've been thinking we could go over as a family if the stars align.

There was an article in the Times about it this week, which featured some World Rugby fuckwit justifying it on the basis that they sell loads of All Blacks shirts in Malaysia and Thailand, and they're in Asia as well so it's bound to be hugely popular and attended by loads of locals. On the basis of...

Best team won. Not seen quite so credulous a ref in a long time, when I used to throw those passes at stationary players I got told to fuck off...

I hope somebody whispers the word "fanny" in that centres ear for the rest of the match. Fair decision but the whining was deeply vaginal

It would take a heart of stone not to laugh at that result.

Bill Sweeney threatening to move the RFU to Birmingham or MK unless the licensing conditions at Twickenham are loosened. Says (probably correctly) that the £600m redevelopment is not viable without it. Said before but regardless of licence the RFU will not be able to successfully able to project ma...

I wonder if they've ever seen Ben Earl celebrate an opposition knock on?
Like Blair Kinghorn celebrating a walk in like a world cup winner perhaps?
Away and dry yer eyes

Let he without sin, etc

But will they back it up or is it the usual “as long as we beat England”? Backed up by a crowd who love to chant Wales but won’t turn up to watch a region play. Oooh, those grapes must be sour. 😂 I wonder if they've ever seen Ben Earl celebrate an opposition knock on? Like Blair Kinghorn celebratin...

You cheating saffa cunt

This ref is fucking shocking. We've blown it, but his decisions in the last seven minutes suggest bias

Surprisingly the chemical tanker still has emergency power available, radar is still working and some fire water mains/monitors on deck are still operating. Notwithstading that it'll probably end up a total constructive loss due to the damage amidships, the tanker looks in better condition of the t...

Two blindingly shit decisions from the officials

Look at all his try scoring passes!

Sympathy call at the end for the Aussie wonder whistle. Still, satisfying result

Blonde Father Dougal not having a fun time, it must be said

Quality try

Wow! That is colossal bullshit

Wow, Gardner is properly fucking shit.

I don't recall any US vice president being so vocal or so, err, ubiquitous. Most of the time a lot of people, including myself, have no idea who the VP is. They appear on the ticket but for years after the election it's "who the fox hat?" He's being used as the Top Goon, it would seem. Is...

It was Huget who was utterly hopeless Now there was an uber c**t. https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/9652171/hugets-dramatic-dive and forgot to add this one https://www.skysports.com/rugby-union/news/12321/9873341/watch-huget-stamp-on-marais Huget was not even a decent winger... It was Hu...

For all the talk of Europe not having interests in the Pacific, France has considerable territory there, and we've got an alliance with the Aussies. It's also not in Europe's interest to have a Beijing facing world order, though that could change if the yanks really fuck up.

Unrealistic ambitions have played their part as well. A lot of adults don't want to be talked down to if they can't make training each week, whilst club secretaries dreaming of turning their team into the next Exeter and buying in players drive local lads away either from the club or from the game e...

He’s just taking to the Nth degree the whole train of thought that it was Ukraine wanting closer ties to Europe and nato led to crimea and then a few years later the current conflict. He really is some bell isn’t he, turned that dial way past 11 now 11 might be generous, he's pretty much off the gr...

It was Salford's kids due to ongoing salary cap penalties so I wouldn't read too much into it, though Salford are likely to be shit

Occasionally we get young lads like Pollock who are so undeniably good that their clubs give them the keys to the kingdom at a young age, but there are plenty who just disappear at Prem level when they've been excelling as U20s. It shouldn't be so big a gap and if it is then clubs need to get bette...

Mitchell is the one I'm generally worried by this 6N so far. He's by far our best option but he's repeatedly gone the wrong way, been slow to get the ball out at critical moments, and has had opportunities for breaks that he's been too slow to take. Is he fully fit? His kicking game remains strong,...

I'm surprised that Jones hasn't had the Spanish archer before for his comments about kiwi poaching. He's been trying to be the Clarkson of rugby for a while, and is a dislikeable mean spirited cunt. His vendetta against quins is extremely unprofessional, and his incessant bullying of smith extremely...

Was it that fucking idiot Kay that picked MOTM? Curry played his lungs out

Worth remembering that Zack Mercer was player of the season in the Top 14, and he's hardly burnished his reputation since he came back...

The best English back row is on the bench this weekend, anyway.

Espnscrum.com for the internationals. Knock yourself out https://www.espn.com/rugby/playerstats?gameId=600252&league=180659 Off: 3 tackles and 2 tackles. Sort your sample size out. You are a disgrace to science. You joke, but this is the constant issue with JMK, he throws stats about whilst com...

Lowe really is a massive cunt Yeah, he instigated the afters on all three occasions it kicked off. I thought they were meant to be clamping down on that but it's Ireland. Bin said the next one that runs in will get yellow carded, where was the yellow card when the Axolotl ran in after the Cunningha...

You are grasping now. Okay, to post seriously for a second: Marcus had a pretty good first half and an average second, but isn't exactly to blame for the meltdown. I don't think Slick was being serious for a second about him playing himself out of the Lions, and it's funny to consider today's match...

Lowe really is a massive cunt

Bin has totally fucking lost it. Is it the Irish surname or the number of kiwis in the Ireland team that's swayed him?

More Leicester news, Cheika's leaving at the end of the season. Didn't realise he was only on a one year deal. Wonder what led him/Tigers/both not to extend. Certainly you'd think that the last thing needed at Welford Rd is more coaching turnover. Japan partnership is definitely interesting. Surpri...

It's a weird one, Oliver's Great Grandad marries Thomas Cromwell's sister and takes her name, which makes him some sort of nephew several times removed.

Trump is a front man designed to deflect, confuse and set a ridiculous extreme agenda whilst the 'clever' guys beaver away in the background asset stripping the US and making a very small group of people very very rich. He is willing to do whatever his paymasters tell him as long as there is an end...

Whilst it's nice that Proteus is getting a run out, all they need to do is send a couple of drones over and she'll be scuttled quicker than you can say "Moskva".

Nice to see the good guys scrape through. May even book a trip down there, mostly for the cassoulet.

What's happened to Curtis Langdon? I'd rather have him there than LCD, with one eye on the future. Pleased that Maro's been made Captain, as he deserves it, and retaining George for at least one more campaign is sensible given what an evidently good leader he is. Weird to have such representation fo...
