    I should be cheering for Romania, but I just can’t.

    Missed most of the match up to now due to various emergencies such as cooking and smoke alarm going off which scared the dog and made her piss on the carpet etc.

    It’s official now, the BBC has him on 23 tries. I thought he had one less than he actually had. Although Kyle Steyn might be a bit miffed at that last one.

    Argentina-Chile, I thought Sanchez looked assured. Much as I like Santi, I don’t think he is anywhere near as complete a 10 s Sanchez, and I wonder if the Poomas missed out on beating England as a result.
    Only watched the Scotland highlights , but Cam Redpath has that rare and strange ability to glide thru a gap that isn’t there. Lovely to watch.

    It’ll be interesting to watch him and Finn next season at Bath. If they strike up a good partnership, will that change the Huwipulotu centre pairing for next year’s 6N?
