well, I'm off to Twickenham on Friday for the England Australia match. The game is on Saturday, I know! Paying an arm and a leg for tickets, hotel, southern crappy beer and food. And then we get mugged by Wales last night. Oh well, looks like it will be the most expensive pizz up of all my days.

Great result for a true battling Welsh side

The English football team should take note

and the cricket team

How is it that we can have exciting games and come close-ish to winning big prizes in rugby, cricket, athletics, etc, with people who earn sensible money and yet those pansies who are paid absolute fortunes to kick a ball round a field, until they collapse in agony from someone looking at them, can't?????

On top of that, judging by some local reaction last night, the followers are hooligans???

Is football still shown in black & white???

It may have been happening in Twickenham but we had a cracking night down here, the streets were absolutely banging.

A brave call by Robshaw and then the Press doubting Stuart Lancaster! Robshaw is a cracking player, they should also remember where English rugby was prior to the S.H appointment.....dire. England will still do well in the future providing they do not drive him out.From our point of view I guess it was a modern day Rourkes Drift.

Unfortunately we have a stack of serious injuries, and with our short recovery time between games if we get out of the group, it will be a miracle.

Part (1) You are dead right! Part (2) ha ha ha.

I fancy the Boks who are well wounded after the Japanese game, and will have had the kick up the ar$e of all kicks, the Aussies are looking good, followed possibly by the French who can take anyone apart on the day Or maybe the Irish who will take no crap from anyone.

The English press as such force too much pressure on everyone of the National sides i.e Rugby/Football/Cricket etc........on that basis alone - I do not think so. Not that England are a bad side or that they have a bad coach, it is the expectation based on (what)?

Tbh your football/cricket/rugby sides can lose 12 matches on the trot, they then get that inevitable win, the press will then go on to say "We will win the World Cup", unfortunately too much pressure....not enough reality.
