Russell was terrible. Cuthbert was anonymous which to be fair is the best you could hope for. He was a bit better than that. He was the first to respond to Biggar’s missed penalty and came closest to scoring a try of anyone. He had a better game than Rees Zammit, who really was anonymous. Fair poin...

Or the knock ons. Or the tactic of continually kicking straight to one of the best FBs in B&I. Didn’t understand that when their line out was flakey as fuck last week. I thought Williams was pretty shite to be honest. As were their 2 wingers and 2 centres. And here we are. Pathetic I thought th...

Will be cooking mussels later this week, anyone got a good recipe? I usually have onion, fennel, thyme and creme fraiche in there but fancy a change Not a recipe (sorry) but a suggestion. I once had thai green curry with mussels in a Cornish seaside pub and it was one of the best things I've ever p...

Your plastic pal, who's fun to be with!

I think this money should be shared equally between all hemispheres. It's only fair.

Nadolig Llawen, all. Thanks for giving me a chuckle on the regular

Well done Scotland. Gatlands going to still pick various Welsh journeymen ahead of your best players. Other than their try the Welsh forwards were never at the races. Good defence but completely outplayed in most aspects. Not saying that many Scots will get the nod but is is hard to make a case for...

I'm flattered, but your feelings are wasted this time.

Also, this game marked the point where I've finally given up on Patchell. At 27, he should not be shitting the bed as often as he does.

I don't think he has the temperament for test rugby, he probably has the skills but that is not as important (a la Preistland).

Aye, that made me tear up that did. After 12+ years Foxy finally does his first pass. I knew he had it in him.

I'll have a number 2, followed by a 69.

Did anyone spot a set move attempt? Anyone see a clear formation on attack, or anything other than a rush defence wall?

Well that was just sad.

I'm as excited as anyone by the French resurgance, but lets see them play the SH big 3 first before we guage where they really are.

Also Lord Smug saying they'll win means it's almost a dead cert that they wont.

Does this count as getting skinned?

To be fair, we can't complain about the fact that they are comfortably better than 90% of the other teams.

If the only team who can consistently trouble them are NZ, then pretty much any journey to the final will be an armchair ride.

All good points. This place is far more civilised, far more laid back and far more welcoming and if anyone doesn't like that they can f**k off. In all seriousness, I think that we will unfortunately need some more active modding once things kick off internationally. If you want to maintain a laidbac...

My girlfriend told me, "Sex is sooo much better on holiday", which I thought was a really mean thing to put in a postcard.

People seem to have forgotten that we went into lockdown to "flatten the curve". That means not preventing deaths, but making them occur over a longer period of time. This was all so the NHS could cope. The current numbers compared to the spike are not even in the same league, so there is ...

I had an operation in Feb to drain a blocked sinus. It was causing all kinds of cranial maladies. A proper nasty operation under 'general' it was. The sinus was blocked swollen so much that when it was breached, a stream of anearobic pus shot across the room. Said pus was so foul smelling that it s...

Beauden Barrett is the best impact player the world has ever seen. I think this is really the answer. BB is devastating coming off the bench and I haven't seen anything this year that suggests his impact would be in any way diminished. Whether fly-half or full-back he could quite happily pick his r...

I've got the best doctor around, you know.

True, I've just got back from a week canoeing and sh*t on rivers and the only relief was when we were actually swimming in the river. All other times it was various stages of dehydration and sun stroke. Thank God for Britain's unpredictable weather. The p*ssing rain at the beach today was most welco...

7 dwarves in a shower all feeling happy.

Then happy walked out so they all started feeling grumpy instead.

It's both hot and cloudy here, which surely against the law or something?

Anything which uses the word "Fred" instead of "Thread" can do one.

Funny, me and the boys in the club all tend to agree with him

For me, the moment that epitomises Inverdale is when Ireland were making a mockery of logic and history and were pumping the All Blacks at the Aviva in 2013 in the first half. In the half time analysis, in the middle of a discussion of Irelands "route 1" tactics (that bizzarley worked all ...

Maybe, yea I think it's coming back to me now :grin: I remember some bright spark realising that if you set the portaloos on fire they evenrually explode. Cue a bunch of copy cat loos exploding over the venue! Aye, hippies are a hazard at Glasto I'm afraid. I had a rather rosey picture of it from my...

Was that the year the riot police came? I've no idea what they're like now but back then the Reading/Leeds festivals were pretty hardcore. Just bands and drinking.

I went to Glasto more often and kinda stopped as the BBC crowd started going, I think 2010 was the latest one I went to.

This is my favourite RAGTM side project

I was reading through this line up and thinking how good it was, and it took me too long to realise I was actually there!

Oh to be 20ish again!

That is fair and a good reason why both Gussett and Lord Bald were on my list. They have an opportunity many would adore, yet they clearly can't be bothered to watch enough rugby to even give the illusion of knowing anything about the modern game or the players involved with it. We've been telling ...

A guy yells to a stranger across the river, "I need to get to the other side." The stranger yells back... "You are on the other side." In that vein. You are seated at an outdoor table in your favourite bar when someone taps you on the shoulder. You turn to look and he realises h...
