Jesus, Hooper really was useless wasn’t he?

Agree. With inactionman who wholeheartedly agrees with Holly, but that was a red

I really think she is a very good ref, but that was a red all day.

Spencer is making a mockery of Borthwick’s selection and man management here.

As someone correctly views the Stones as the greatest band ever (after Queen), this offends me on every level

Look how they massacred my boy…

Hector Patterson is very over rated.

I know very little about him, what makes you say that?

He was the name given, iirc, from Everitt when it was confirmed that Price was leaving and it was suggested that Edinburgh would be looking "in-house" for a replacement.

Perhaps at Edinburgh ...

Oh and one more thing, a quirk of the scoring system, I guess, but last season we won 11 games, earned a total of 5 BPs to give 49 league points and 11th place on the table.

This season we've won 8 games, 1 draw, 15 BPs for a total of 49 points and 7th place on the table.

Can this be counted ...

Exeter do look to have pulled themselves together a bit, but Quins definitely look like they could be taking the match more seriously.

I didn't do it for Courtney Lawes last season either. What's your point?

What's your point is more the question. What's so special about Danny Care ...

Marius Bosman, a noted mega cūnt.

Met GH many times, I actually would say he's a bit self contained, never seen the droning on side once. He's a regular in my golf club bar so I guess he's amongst his mates.

Great laugh - B Clark, FunBus, Moody
Generous - Dallaglio
Difficult to comprehend - Powell

(Most boring - M Lynagh ...

This may surprise some, but Josh Lewsey is an absolute gem.

Best of luck to you both. Degrees are a doddle compared to these.

From a Scots POV I think it depends how the injury recoveries go and how Toulouse get on in play offs. Later Kinghorn gets out on tour the harder it'll be.

So long as Tuipulotu is hits the ground running he'll be fresh as a daisy and will be pretty strong.

Furlong to miss out my match day ...

Daly, Hansen, M Smith are rubbish picks

Pollock doesn’t deserve it, but to be honest I like the idea of a young gun on the Lions tour so well done to him.

From a parochial point of view, sad for Gilchrist, Ritchie and Darcy

This. Surprised Cummings got in and wonder if that swayed close calls ...

Hansen over Graham is odd.

At least we’ve already had the worst selection possible in Ugo picked to present.

There will be a lot of marginal calls, and ones where Papa Faz just has a different view to Borthers etc., but what selection would truly make you go. 'What the actual fuck?'

Well that's a bugger. Gilchrist in I guess.

Whoever goes will be 5th choice, so a possible in for Lawes to add leadership to the midweek team and set the tone.

Brive are 2nd in ProD2 and the league final will be June 7th. Like any France-based players, the French season just may run ...

Lock
- One of the only clear areas of strength for England. Don't think anyone can really argue with Itoje and Chessum, with Martin also being a strong option . McCarthy's prone to dumb penalties from what little I've seen of him, but he's more than handy. Beirne was down as a lock for Ireland ...

Ben White is a more than credible option, I'd have him just behind Gibson-Park

I agree but doesn't he miss too much of the tour?

I don't think he would miss any more than any of the other France based players?

Well yeah, it's a question of whether they are worth waiting for ...

Scrum Half
- Warburton picked the only three credible options.

Not really, though good try.

I think we expect the props to go and 10 onwards, but that's it. Maybe Jordan could sneak in. The biggest shame will be that neither Darge or Ritchie will go but there are just too many excellent options.

If it's about wailing and gnashing, I think most of it ...

You just know there will be an outrage at too many English being selected & not enough worlds best team World Cup winning Irish selected.

I suspect the most wailing and gnashing of teeth about too many English (at least on this bored) will come from the Scots, who 6 months ago were expecting ...

Just returned from the Stoop watching my Grand Daughter in the Quins under 18 Girls Cup final.

What a match ! Guildfordians took an early lead and looked very strong - they'd won all their games by huge margins so far in the Cup - Worthing equalised 7/7 after 20 mins but went behind again 5 mins ...

When you need to unify four different nations, not sure that picking someone with a high degree of animosity towards three of them is a sound move.

I got fitted for Taylormade P790s a year ago - got Recoil Dart F3 shaft 2 degrees upright with Golf Pride regular multi-compound grips. Beautiful clubs when I hit them properly, high flight, 10 yard longer and better dispersion. I got a 4 iron which I actually hit better than my 4 hybrid funnily ...

Brilliant ideas badly executed first time around, rather than retaining IP.

Definitely eye contact but wouldn’t call it a gouge. Cole is being naughty and Venter is trying to stop his head getting screwed off. Both bad, but more forwards being forwards than Schalke Burger type shenanigans. Cole milking it somewhat.

Whatever happens, Donnie will blame someone else and his moronic hate cult will lap it up.

Just Obama making very valid points, as per.

The thing all these 'let's find a way for trump to run a third time' guys are forgetting is that if Trump can, Obama can. And Barack would fuck him sideways.

One of the things they were ...

So the Prem is trialling away ends. Seriously? As a Bath resident am I supposed to start worrying about the Harlequins Ultras coming in a couple of weeks?

And BTW, the play of the entire weekend was the drop goal by Matthew Urwin in the last minute of the U20s game. 1000 IQ points.

If you haven’t seen the game, watch it. Really great game and some excellent performances by the young ‘uns.

PB is being gracious and balanced. Let’s not split hairs.

Why do we seem to get so little from the officials? Yesterday, vs England, France last year etc.

Obviously a very parochial view, but can’t think of other teams getting similar. Captain not doing his job? Toonie too nice? Cognative bias? It’s the same for everyone?

So two years running it is a trip to Twickenham that prevents a grand slam - that feels alright

The GS should be very difficult, it's a huge prize.

That Twickenham was the hurdle this year is fair enough.

Personally I'm still bristling over the loss in the Calcutta Cup, the phrase, "spawny ...

He's only in the conversation because behind Russell there's no obvious candidate.

Ford was magnificent when he came on, but he's not managed to play all that much in the last 18 months. and even if he stays fit from now until the Lions tour Sale aren't going to provide many top end games for ...

Really can't fault anyone there, just don't have the depth of forwards to compete with France. I reckon most of our backs played their way onto the plane to Australia.

Schoeman might have done himself a lot of good there too.

Yep, great gave. Him, Fagerson and Ritchie have a decent ...

Well done France, easily the best team in the tournament.

Fine with our effort - I’d far rather watch us go down giving it a lash and trying to play some exciting rugby than being boring and playing to whatever plan the spreadsheet says.

Tom Jordan take a bow.

French taking players out around the ruck. Charley really is a useless cunt.

The fix is in boys
