Je m’en fucking fous qu’Irlande ne joue pas ce weekend; l’opportunité c’est fucking énorme de regarder d’autres matches, et bien sûr ce video à voir encore et encore.
Vous avez entendu parler, naturellement, de ces minuscules fucking poissons des rivières brésiliennes qui s’attaquent par milliers a l’équipe imprudent, le nettoient, en quelques fucking instants, à petites bouchées rapides, et n’en laissent qu’un squelette immaculé ?* C’est ça que Jamie George fucking pense se passerait chez Twickenham le samedi.
“We want to take the fans on a journey with us over the next few months,” talonneur George a dit à BBC Sport. Qu’est-ce qu’il est fucking on? Ils vont voyager all right – chez eux par un early vol.
Mindez-vous, les Welshie gallois n’avons pas l’air de prendre le monde par orage non plus. Leur talonneur Dewi Lake raconte le moment où Fatland l’a demandé d’être capitaine:
“It was Monday morning, I was on the physio bed, and he came over and asked if I’d like to captain the team,” said Lake. Qu’est-ce qu’on peut fucking dire?
Meanwhile, chez les écossais, entraîneur Toonie a perdu le fucking plot en décrivant “Zander Fagerson’s availability for the opening World Cup game against South Africa as ‘a huge boost’.” Pour ce weekend, la France a choisi un équipe beaucoup plus fort que le weekend passé, et alors je pense que l’Écosse sera fucking smashed.
*C’est fucking Camus. On est très fucking culturé ici.

Oh, thats a full red. Thats also massive previous, long ban.

They’re going to need more seats for the bin in a minute.

How has no-one, at any point in his career, taken Faz to one side and taught him how to tackle properly?

Ok, so we just need to keep putting it in the corner and scoring from lineouts?

Wales! You have let 12 not-so-angry men maul over the line? You should be ashamed of yourselves!

England back to 14.

Faz is gonna have to bring several McVities selection boxes, for any hope of leniency in his hearing.
LikeLike
Well, Faz got to be midrange, 4 weeks/matches at least. no week off for course, cos he’s already done that. Realistically, he may well be gone for the group stages to, at least.

Oh. My. God.
What is actually happening?
Boooo, knock-on.

And another yellow, Beard this time.

I should think it will be a 10-week ban, or thereabouts.
But how poor are Wales to contrive to be losing at this point?

Taine Basham failed his HIA, btw.

Bloody hell, I think I just saw Daly tackle someone round the legs.

How the hell did England win that?
Marchant & Ben Earle can go to the WC. Most of the rest can be fired into the Sun.

Ben Earle seems likeable.

@Refit, to be fair, Steward tackled his man and the legs! They just happened to be in mid-air at the time, so…

What did he do Thaum? I turned off as soon as the game ended, couldn’t take that anymore.
Now looking ‘forward’ to Scotland getting thumped by France, but in a more entertaining fashion than that last game.

Good lord, Ibanez is a dapper fellow.

He can barely speak. He was asked about the red card, and yabbered on about ‘rugby imminents’ or some similar malapropism, players dropping in the contact, etc – all things that didn’t happen.

Oh good – Cotter.

@Thaum – to be fair, not sure what else he’s meant to say about his captain? Agree it’s nonsense, but he can’t exactly stand there and call for a ban.

Dab – no, it was the inarticulacy that shocked.

Lovely play from Scotland! This is like a different sport.

Thaum, to be fair, he was probably still in shock that England won.

TRY Scotland! I thought the pass was a wee smidge forward, but never mind.

Try! More quality in the first 5 minutes in this game from us, than from both teams in the previous game (except for Wales’ second try).

It must be so lovely to have a 9 that isn’t a butterfingers or glacially slow.

France looking a bit rusty; not surprising as I think there are only two players from last week. Scotland looking sharp!

It’s weird how all the problems Berry was having with the Welsh/Eng scrum last week, are happening this week with France/Scotland.

Right, jst finished the England Wales game, so excuse me for being out of sync, but yes Thaum, in the real world, farrell has just done his world cup full stop. I was about to say he was playing quite well, but maybe Slade is on his way back into the squad. Reckon Fordy is going to be the 10 now.
Ben Earl had way more go forward in close than Billy V, OK he hasn’t played in a long while, but he has looked a but meh for a couple of years.
Lawes excellent as usual.
Backs some positives there.
Arundell, too inexperienced to risk, I think, Steward also has previous for tackling in the air, he was lucky that wasn’t a red. Daly and Watson on the wings for me.
Who is the next 9 off the bench ?
England looked a little more urgent when they went down to 12 men.
Biggar looked handy ball in hand. Positives for both sides.
