It looks like rugby has sold its soul to Sky just like football has. The only way to stop it is to stop watching and subscribing to them.....
Great result for under 20's tonight, ..... England 22. Wales 23 . Sam Castelo outside half for Wales was bloody brilliant, and was awarded Man of the match, He scored 18 points of the 23. I think he has signed for Llanelli next year.
Good second half but like the swans need to be good the whole game. Only a pen beat us by the not so mighty englund dirty cnuts ! That ponse tickling Alwyns old boy ! What was that all about ffs ?
Watched the game in a full pub,lot of 20ish people,but hardly any interest taken by majority of the punters in a game which in the past dictated attention.More interest was in Burnley v Spurs game. Sign of the times?
Their first try - we turned over their line out but then spilled the ball. Poor handling and **** kicking - again - and we're really up against it. An absolutely brilliant try to start the seconds half - woohoo! - but, false hope again I'm afraid. They pull out to an unasailable lead and we almost have a sniff but only due to being two men up - which we can't exploit.
I wouldn't go by that. Most "sports fans" are glory hunting cvnts who "support" the latest something they can get instant glorification out of.
Can't get over the obsession that Wales have in kicking, most of which is aimless, and just gives the ball to the opposition to start attacking us. This is not new, as the same thing happened last season. ..... They just don't think that when they have possession , then their opponents can't do a bloody thing ......will they ever learn?
Just back in the restaurant - England comfortable winners. biggest negative - some of their fans ....
It drives me crazy. England's up and unders were spot on and they got some return, when we do it it's inaccurate. I don't like the tactic anyway mind. You'd think coaches supposedly at the top of the game could see this!
England forwards Joe Marler and Courtney Lawes have been cited following Saturday's win over Wales - they will both appear before a disciplinary hearing in Dublin on Thursday
What's Courtney Lawes cited for? I missed the Marler incident at the time. I'm in two minds about the red - it seemed harsh as North was going down and if Tuilagi had wrapped his arm it would have taken North's head off. But it's the letter of the law so the ref had no choice.
Courtney Lawes - no arms tackle to AWJ’s head. They seemed to target both Biggar and Alun Wyn. The Tuilagi tackle took place not far from our seats (we were in the Middle Tier). Whilst no malice, the letter of the law is a straight red - no mitigation if it’s a shoulder charge, and direct contact with force to the head.
