    HDM have asked people to report any acts of terror. Get that hotline called.

    Certainly, more entertaining than the actual game. Stuck it for twenty minutes then the lure of 'four in a bed' on Channel 4 became too much and I switched over.

    Proud moment for the Ronseal family.

    Has there ever been a full international team coming from one family before?

    You mean that Samoa, with a population of 50,000 less than Hull, are strongly fancied to win a competition England have never won?

    So you do know what fancied means then. And I didn't say strongly fancied.
    Samoa were odds on favourites to win the group which puts them into the quarters, which gives them a chance to do well.

    By one of the fancied one assumes you mean fancied to win the competition we are playing in? 16/1 compared to the odds on Australia and New Zealand doesn’t suggest they are strongly fancied.

    Samoa have a great xT rating, so, you know, their stats basically say what will, could or may happen.
