That clip is 24 years old and I feel ancient knowing that I can hear the words in his exact cadence when watching it.

Rancid Toga bait.

Next you'll be saying Mike Brown was vaguely decent.

So, we need a big win to stand a chance at the 6N. I can see us either fecking up, and simply not doing enough to win it, in quite a poor result. Or absolutely smashing it, then France have a wobbly and Ireland put 4 tries past them, making our efforts useless.

This game is going to be an absolute hiding. Italy were total gash against Ireland. England to put 80+ on them.

We really ought to be able to run up a score here, Italy were dire last week. Tend to agree that if we do enough the French will fuck it for us.

You forgot to add in the Ben Youngs factor, take any projected score and multiply it by 0.5, then divide it by the number of seconds it takes him to move the ball from the base of the scrum/ruck/maul. Subtract the number of times he passes the ball either above the head or below the knees of the receiver and you will be close.

He is due his place cementing game though. Answers his critics. Proves the doubters wrong once again.

You’re completely right. Schoolboy punditry to discount the Youngs effect.

Lord Bald right about Slade and Watson being out of position without any need for it.

Yes. And the he says we've learnt that farrell must play 10, despite Ford being 10 throughout most of Eddie's tenure.

Why? All white with correct socks. It's not the Cornetto swoosh.

It's a national anthem, not a floor-filler.

I thought it diplomatic not to draw attention to his advancing senility.

It's utterly uninspiring, slow, dull and bootlicking. Crap from the first note to the last.

Has bringing in May on the inside like that for the crash ball ever worked?

Attack looking pretty blunt so far.

Cracker of a run and finish from the Italian 8 Polledri. this is already better than the Wales/Scotland game.

Serves us right for fannying around. Fly half kicking every bit of possession while the props try fancy handling shit when it's not on. Wake up.

There is nothing that would better for the tournament than an Italian win. Can’t see it though.
