    Utterly brilliant from England. Henry Pollock made the difference.

    That win means England are guaranteed to overtake Ireland into 3rd in the world rankings. Best team in the northern hemisphere. :)

    Great footie skills to set up the 4th try. :)

    Thought Lawrence was an absolute beast and Ford marshalled things expertly.

    Anyone got a decent site for a boxing stream tonight?

    Fawanews will have it but its been unreliable recently and will probably drop out constantly.

    Wales and Japan are both looking like school kids compared to England and New Zealand.

    Wales scrape the win, first win at home for over 2 years.

    The win means they should be seeded in the World Cup draw, but in over 60 years of watching international rugby, this is by far the worst Welsh team I’ve ever seen.

    Is the hakka disrespected when sung over or are the kiwis gaining an automatic edge by being unchallenged?

    Eubank looked like a skeleton. Awful weight for him to fight at.

    Joshua v Jake Paul confirmed.

    Absolutely pathetic.

    Anthony Joshua v Jake Paul fight scheduled for 19 December - BBC Sport

    Don't see any point to this from Joshua's POV. He'll be expected to knock out Paul inside 3 or 4 rounds (which he really should with his power). But Paul isn't a boxer no matter what he says so I can only think he just wants to get back in the ring before his next proper fight.

    You sure you can't see the point?

    I can see a few million points.

    If it was a real fight it'd be over in less than a minute

    It won't be though it'll be a glorified sparring session.

    I doubt it. Didn't Joshua flatten Ngannou very quickly?

    Yeah but he was seen as an actual threat by a few people after the Fury fight. He had the possibility of hurting him.

    There'll be some contractual stuff for sure meaning Joshua can't blast him out in round one.

    Oh yeah I expect he'll hold back a bit in the first round but he won't want it going on past the 2nd or 3rd round.

    We'll see. It's an exhibition in all but name imo.

    If it wasn't and then Paul died then promoters would get sued into bankruptcy.
