The carnage in New York regarding the Mayor's case with DOJ people resigning rather than following illegal orders to ditch it is something. Half of them are Trump appointees!

Immigration must be pretty damn close to the top of this list of peoples concerns, if not the top. The problem is that it's almost impossible to debate the topic. People on the anti side of the argument can stray into the "well, they're just a bit different to us" side of things, while pe...

Re: 2025 6N thread

Gatland's such an enigma. On the face of it, he's a highly competent coach with some excellent results in the 6N and with the Lions. But when he gets it wrong - like with the current Wales side and the 0-8 Chiefs in 2020 - he makes a proper job of it. He hit the wall a long time ago. 2019 was his l...

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, ...

Re: The Official English Rugby Thread

I haven't seen many players turn around a really poor first half on starting debut like that so 7 for Fin seems unfair. Marcus chewed off a lot of metres and had an okay first half but made far too many errors, even before you get to his off day with the boot. You'd be hard pressed to give more than...

Daly came on, on the left Wing - that's where he was stationed in the lead up to his try. I think Freeman moved into the centre.

Re: The Official English Rugby Thread

Whilst Furbank is broken, I'd stick with Smith at 15. He did well. France tend to kick long rather than competing, but he did well. They definitely then link up well. Players need to trust the inside man a bit more, especially if it's Lawrence, he's unlikely to get done for pace. Baxter came on wit...

Unexpected result, but especially so given how genuinely dreadful we were for a big chunk of that game. Well done to the Saints boys, the replacements, and Curry & Earl for seeing that one through with an improved 2nd half.

Astonishing profligacy by the extremely mentally weak French.
