There is a gap in standard between the Prem, of course, but it is increasingly hard to reconcile the Farrell I see in Barnet and the Farrell I see in an England shirt. He just seems to struggle at the higher level. Yes his attitude and desire are real positives, but the lack of skill, the lack of a...

There is a gap in standard between the Prem, of course, but it is increasingly hard to reconcile the Farrell I see in Barnet and the Farrell I see in an England shirt. The kicking is a much bigger worry than anything else, at points we showed decent ambition in attack. Doesn’t matter who it is, you...

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 ...

Lawes and T Curry apparently going to be fit for Wales... going to make it interesting in terms of selection. I wouldn’t add either of them to the squad until they’ve played a couple of Premier matches Lawes would be a far better bench option than Isielwe !! So would I tbf. I don’t see how you drop...

Comfortable win, which was what was required, but boy that was a dull watch at times. Bit of a Leicester performance. Functional, the starting pack did well, but really not anything to get excited about and a step down in quality and entertainment compared to the other two games at the weekend. Had...

Evans is some shit attack coach if he wants Non stop
grubbers in the 22.

Italy looked knackered, played their cup final last week.

Ludlum is undroppable at the moment.

Lucky Italy are knackered from last week.

This Sinfield defence is questionable.

Farrel is immune from criticism outside PR/NPR. Its maddening

You’d have to assume we’re wrong?

Negri is granite.

Do the commentary team have a financial interest in praising Faz for kicking ball away?

Who'd have thought it?

Will smith get a run with Lawrence or will Faz move to 12?

We look much better with a 12 on the pitch.

Hal Jordan wrote: ↑Sun Feb 12, 2023 3:24 pm Willis MOTM if the commentators are anything to go by.

They’d be right, he’s savage.

Willis an upgrade on Curry so far.

Ireland look light years ahead of us.

Saints vs LI in the Cup Whose Name I Keep Forgetting this evening. I gather James Grayson is playing, he seems to have dropped off radar a bit - assume injured? On that note, of the offspring of ex-players, what happened to Harry Mallinder? Just noticed he's out in Japan, wasn't seen as up to rigou...

We're ranked outside the top 5 because we've had a bizarre finale to an otherwise successful coach, where we played absolutely no rugby whilst rotating our side around with no discernible plan to it. If we take England since 2000, we've won seven six nations titles (two grand slams), one world cup,...

I’d still take Eddie over a divisive twat like cips. The blokes a toilet. Anyway, Rugby needs to get into its head that football claims all the best athletic talent at state school if they don’t have two left feet. I read the monye piece about pace and have to remind myself he probably has two left ...

From what I've pieced together, as soon as they receive a positive PCR, they run a second one. If that comes back positive, end of story. Fazlet's came back negative, which made them re-run the original sample, which then came back negative. But there’s now an outbreak.... Bath are a shambles, coac...

Aunty Beeb finger-pointing: 'look at all those Covid-infested Europeans, nothing to see here' https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-59262701 They'd be very fair to question the increase in European cases, or report how those countries are trying to deal with it. But to summarise by saying the UK is buc...

They hadn't been commed yet. Looked uncomfortable without limping

Looked bizarre!

Anyway, the wheels really have come off in Exeter this season.

Malins is probably the new Daly utility back.

Tonga were knackered, still think Smith looked at home. Ref was decent, never seen him before.

We still look liable to dish out dumb penalties, but positives on the player front.

Sensational defence from Lawes.

Quite funny that two of the big "statement" decisions by Eddie - dropping Ford, clearly one of the best 2 flyhalves in the country, and dropping George, clearly one of the best 2 hookers in the country - have both come back to make him look like a fucking idiot in record time How on Earth...

That Bath hooker has been capped by Jones.

Think Eddie cut his hair as well. Looks like a
Shit extra from Mad Max.

The bath lineout is horrendous.

Ah well, that's my watching done, Covid isolation childcare duties beckon.

Very harsh on butchers. He’s had an absolute mare.

I should keep a SarrieGripe count.

Koch did well.

That was a yellow for Koch.

Wasps should handle that bath side.

Glaws have a reasonable side out.

So Craig would rather sell up than sack his mate Hooper? That’s god tier loyalty.

And now we've lost Cruse again, so a loanee from Doncaster runs on to play hooker. Head injury two weeks running for Cruse? Not quite, he's missed the last 3 due to a head injury, this was his return. At least we get Oghre back from suspension next week. Not sure players are being properly protecte...
