Their replacement props destroyed ours - as simple as that

Annoying isn’t it! not really sure it’s right to say that we’ve dominated - we’ve won’t a lot of the 50/50’s and done better at the break downs but I’d say they’ve spent more time in our 22 than we have theirs A huge half to come DEFENCE

Strong start

Surely a cross ??

Sound is usually slightly ahead of the picture our commentary says that we’ll hope to get a result to keep us on top of the league today - ffs

Hope tomorrow evening isn’t a repeat and we can stay in it longer

May as well watch gogglebox now …..

The tories spend much of their time destroying themselves from within when things are going well (generally done less publicly than with Labour) imagine what’s in store for the next year facing destruction at the GE - Rishi has a lot on his plate and expect their policies to become ever stranger and more radical as they attempt to woo various groups

Facebook ?

Brum changed to Monday evening because sky will be selling it as Rooney v vardy and want to maximise audience

Steward picked chessum replaced by Martin genge replaced by marler looks to me like we’ll try to keep it as tight as possible and then hope our replacements can make a difference - s Africa made a few forward changes after 50 mins - suspect we will do similar and try to recover any deficit in the final half hour

Bit naive mac You simply cannot use words like that in the modern era - they will be cut and clipped to take out of context ‘Israel admits to being monsters doing monstrous things’ Or ‘yes, we’re monsters’ - official Israeli govt statement all public speakers are being incredibly careful with their words atm for this very reason

We need to have steward back for s Africa they got two of their tries from high kicks might keep the score diff down to less than twenty

yep - I remember why I don’t want to be in here ….

Seriously? why not look for yourself at the images in daylight of the car park area and make your own judgement - you seem like an intelligent chap.

If you can’t see it then you’re not looking properly mac How about ‘Hamas health officials have reported that an explosion at a hospital has caused many casualties. Awaiting more details’ The way it’s presented - look at the quoted bbc headline below - ‘officials’. Most people will read that as being ‘official’ - true - fact.

This was in the aftermath - bbc world - it matters - oh yeah - ‘according to Palestinian officials’. I’m sure everyone reads that ….

Thanks - that’s good to hear. Development is more important than winning at a young age.

stepped away from here end last week as much for for my mental health as anything else had tried to be as impartial as I could but people generally have fairly entrenched views on the margins and those across the middle will swing back and forth with their thoughts as each horrific event unfolds there is so much disinformation (from both sides but one rather more than the other ) that on reflection, having an on line real time forum discussion is probably not a great idea. I would just make the point that the bbc made a huge deal last week about not describing Hamas as terrorists. Anyone watching their news program yesterday evening or reading their on line output would have not have been in any doubt that the strike on the hospital was down to Israel. There was no real effort to question what might have happened. How 500 could have been declared dead in the dark within an hour of the incident ??? I appreciate that they have to walk a fine line but until regev was interviewed a couple of hours later, there wasn’t any thought that this may not have been an Israeli missile. I’ll probably drop in again in a few days

can someone who watches the various age groups let us know what style we play through the academy ? is there a holistic approach to development whereby results are secondary up to U15/16 level. are we playing out from the back unless there is no option for a short pass or throw out?

Forgot about that - no one will ever know if it was going over

Two weeks to wait until a n Zealand v s Africa final which will be an amazing game im exhausted after that !

Agree but he is responsible for his height so has to make adjustments with his tackling - he didn’t just grow five inches overnight! if they keep it as yellow, they have to justify it

What’s the record aggregate score for the two world cup semis ? it’s gonna be broken next weekend

Hate these slow games ….. so boring!
