That also gives me hope!

Leo Cullen is getting handsomer. Gives me hope.

Who are these mysterious people orchestrating this? How many people are involved?

If a kick is aimless but aimless kicking is the intention then is it aimless? We can at least credit leicester for that one.

Daly looked much happier than he's seemed for a while.

I must say I like EJ. He takes me back to the good old days when both he and Woodward would spout any old shite pregame.

A mining magnate? No wonder has no issues with a transatlantic english league. Not what any rugby code needs.

He shouldn't be given the platform. Let him rot at his church.

Cracking! Will have to hunt down the highlights.

In other rugby related news the GB league side got done 4-0 in their tests vs papua new guinea. Things could be worse for us couldn't they. It was two Vs. the Kiwis, one Vs. Tonga, and one Vs. PNG. Did you watch them? Is there any explanation for such a series of results beyond all the home teams p...

Only got half an eye on this. Pretty dull it seems. Bod berating players (particularly bath) for being stuuuuuuupid. Seems a problem at this level.

Anybody catch these? Just discovered the combined gb team was back and have celebrated by losing 4-0 including matches to Tonga and PNG. Anybody know what went wrong? Was it a first choice squad?

Shouldn’t you be swimming by now

Still wallowing at present. Bags're packed.

At least we don't have to see Johnson trying to use it for making political hay.

Off swimmkng shortly, the day is looking up.

Definate choking for me. Took 20 minutes to stop throwing into touch every second pass.

The semifinal waa really good rugby union. This is the flipside of that. Scrumwang and cynicism. Shite.

Good player, too.

Ben from accounts is the best rugby name ever.

Fortuitously i've come back from Sweden for bonfire night (sussex lad, ya see). Sadly am in the (east) midlands now so can't head home to lewes rfc but happily am with my parents and sister's family who all love rugby. Current plan is get up, put on colours (choice of png, finland or england all acc...

So... TDM = time-limited decision making or something?

I'd also stop the clock until the ball is out so we don't lose all this playing time to people slipping over.

Interesting article. The tragedy of sport is one team must lose. One can still feel sympathy for the losers, mind.

Round we go.

For my money Ford was good, better than Farrell. Still he did a few bag kicks and only the heroic chasers, luck and nz's lack of composure saved england.
