    Alcaraz just won the French Open, might give Spain a lift when they hear.

    There were 2 winners by Alcaraz in the game that took the last set to a tie break that defied logic, physics, and human ability.

    Not watching it because after watching some of that turgid oop and under snoozefest yesterday I thought I’d watch proper rugby so currently watching South Africa hammering Australia.

    Another great game.

    I think the reason I prefer Union nowadays is that if yesterday was anything to go by it was just constant getting near try line and then kicking it away hoping to nick it in a 50/50. Union is a relentless battle whenever one team gets close .

    Even if we did,we're no match for this level of Football.

    There's not a player on that pitch who doesn't play without complete freedom and confidence...We're slow,indecisive and stifled,afraid to make a mistake and ****ing boring to boot.

    Completely agree we will never reach this level .
    If Spain win tonight they will have had more success in 330 days than we have in 100 years and we can't constantly blame the manager .
    We just make up the numbers

    We've got some really good players too,it's really frustrating and difficult to put your finger on why we're so stuffy and lethargic.?

    Desire mate that's all you can put It down to .
    Even in last year's final England had Spain rattled when they equalised and didn't go for the jugular .
    History shows time after time after time that we might as well go for it because we lose when we don't regardless
