Ridiculous. At least Google it to check you're not writing nons...

I am a fan who lives in Sydney aust , what gets me is the way every one on this forum makes such a big thing about resting players , down under our NRL goes for 27 weeks and 95 % of players barring injury play every round and the nrl is a faster and more demanding. Must players want to be there eve...

Some highlights have already been put up on Youtube

World Rugby should have a bit of introspection about this seeing as they caused the red card debacle which lit this fire.

Swap most current penalty offences over to a free kick only, which might help stop the cynical milking of penalties. However I would change it so that you can directly score from a drop kick off a free kick, so at least you have an option of scoring but it is much more difficult.

Hmmm dodgy pen that.

Great kick!

Probably zero.

England vs Argentina 15. Marcus Smith (Harlequins, 29 caps) 14. Freddie Steward (Leicester Tigers, 30 caps) 13. Joe Marchant (Stade Francais, 25 caps) 12. Manu Tuilagi (Sale Sharks, 58 caps) 11. Henry Arundell (Racing 92, 9 caps) 10. Owen Farrell – captain (Saracens, 111 caps) 9. Ben Youngs (Leices...

It was a tongue in cheek comment. England lost a game they deserved to win. Blowing up these sort of issues in the press is unfortunate for both sides. I suspect that back in the day if there had been a problem between the players it would have been sorted out on the field rather than in the media....

But boy was one of them one of the most numerous of not straights! I don't think even the most biased hooker would try and claim it was straight

Yeah I don't think I have seen a stinker of a throw that bad since age grade rugby.

Lest we forget. Lost by a point. Three points gifted to a poor kicker because our Captain talked back to the referee and got the penalty 10m closer. The Faz fan boys should reflect on those numbers. But no one will, because we are such great losers and nothing will change because nothing changed be...

Credit to England of course but you can definitely use a teams previous performance as a measuring stick ,absolutely! And like I said SA were a notch ,or several notches below ,depending on what facet of the game you are talking about,to last weeks performance. A simple eye test tells you that. And...

Not at all,just speaking the truth. I just think it’s nonsense that people really believe that that was a prime SA last night. It was a week before,it was a prime France too. Not sure whether it’s a defence mechanism to try and excuse how poor a loss it was,all things considered Literally nobody bu...

So it was the same SA that played against France and the same Argentina that played against Wales? Sorry but regardless how good England were in both games I can’t get on board with that I’m afraid. Even the most basic of eye tests comparing the SA games tells you they were nowhere near the level o...
