"crap at Rugby"

Good 6N.
And fronted up well against the All Blacks (though matching those single 25 min
ferocious periods, and being clinical in the final 10, need to be addressed) .

O.k. Relative crap, then. I remember watching the first test and thinking, the blacks will find that something inside and still win this....and they did. Something England just don't seem to have...

But yes, the main difference is their clinical way of never letting you off the hook. They just keep coming and coming, never losing control, until they find the weak spot.
 
"Relative crap, then."

At least that is in comparison to the gold standard.
England at international football didn't even measure up to fools gold.
 
David Beckham's favourite Argentinian and last year's outstanding manager in Europe, Diego Simeone, made something of a balls up yesterday.
Upon hearing of the death of his countryman, veteran sports journalist Jorge Lopez, who was killed in a car crash, he posted a tribute to him on Twitter.
Sounds fine, but unfortunately offered his sympathies to the man's wife before anyone had gotten round to telling her what had happened. :(
Her response was a simple 'No', before following up with an understandably panicked sounding, "Diego, don’t tell me that. Someone, please call me."
Horrible.

Apparently he was killed when a stolen car that was fleeing from the police hit the taxi that he was travelling in.
The cabbie injured his shoulder and the occupants of the nicked vehicle were all fine, bloody typically, though they were arrested.
 
Can anyone tell me when we find out our Europa opposition please ?

We join in the playoff round, so the draw's on the 8th of August. <ok>
We're currently the second highest seeds, so we'll definitely be seeded, but Lyon would go ahead of us if (when) they get through.
I believe that we're even guaranteed to be in Pot 1 for the groups stage, if we qualify.
