Sounds about right Westy. Although... from the looks of it we will have upgrade of the current Next Stand, and a U-shaped section containing seats and a terrace, so might be more difficult to split them up. Not at all - look at say the Madejski, which is a continuous bowl (like the Crisp Bowl), yet...

I think he sees 7 year old videos...

At risk of sounding repetitive, England played with 14 men yesterday. Balshaw MUST go... but in all probability will not. :smt009 I was just about to say "I wonder what England could do if they had 15 players", but you beat me to it! Gotta bring in Lewsey or Abendanon, or put Tait at 15.....

At least he's finally got a chance at 15, not on the wing.

Another one out the door - this time Olly Barkley.

Good old Beeb:

G Murphy (Leinster)

Nope we do not need Thompson we have Hartley, Chuter, and Mears who are the future( maybe not Chutes). And others young players that need the experience for the future. Bringing Thompson back is not a good move for the future IMO. Anyway he couldn't hit a barn door when he was playing for England s...

Hopefully so. This could come just at the right time for England. IIRC he'll only be 33 in 2011 too, so hopefully, fitness permitting he'll get a shot at another WC.

Who could we have put on to give a bit of zip to a dreary midfield? Hipkiss was waiting to come on as the final penalty was being taken, but once Goode missed it his tracksuit went back on - I presume because from then a win was impossible and their was little point exposing him to five minutes of ...

A certain Ollie Smith very nearly did in 2005 (scuppered by injury IIRC after BOD got "tackled").

As said before, I don't understand why ie Ollie is leaving. I am not all that happy. I wonder what he will get from going to France. I wonder why the French rate him above certain other England players. Not that he is bad but he isn't the very best either. AFAIK he's lived and worked in and around ...

The shed was even quieter when Sinbad failed to get round the extraordinary Mr Ayerza one on one despite having the whole 5 metre channel available!

I have agree with Iain above. The Sunday Times today put Goode as the star man, but Erinle must have pushed him close. A lot has been made about how well Jack Adams played for Gloucester at 13, but opposite him he had Erinle who in the first half at least made 3 or 4 really telling tackles - 2 or 3 ...

bbc.co.uk now reporting Vickery out, Borthwick to captain.

I've seen the shed at it's worse, with not only racial abuse aimed at some of our players and I have been forciably elbowed by a 6ft+ man because we've won there..... :censored: awful place with :censored: awful thugs who call themselves supporters........ Thankfully some of the language and gestur...
