Aussies very impressive again, especially in defence.

Argies played with such passion, gutted Lobbe didn't get a try.
-
• #2479
Yeah they were going for the win, for sure. The momentum of the game was mainly with the Aussies though, aside from those scrums. So good.
Should make for a great final. Can't wait.

ITV player - anyone know how to stop it being a piece of shit and region locking to another country? My mate's in hospital and trying to watch the game but it reckons he's in Oz, even though it's a UK O2 sim. He's removed Aus payment thing from Google but no joy.

Great final. Great world cup. Best team won. Happy

And Lancaster is gone...

Sadly inevitable, but I can't help thinking he's the fall-guy for a rotten setup. The can't coach / won't coach brigade of pundits had their knives out for him almost since he signed the contract before the RWC.
Also what does Squeaky do at the RFU? He seems to be something to do with performance without actually taking any responsibility for performance. Weird.
Looks like the old farts never left...

And rather conveniently, Mr Cipriani has only just now been charged...

I gather that took quite a lot of effort.

RIP Jonah Lomu. One of my heroes growing up. The rugby world just lost a giant.

Not the best hooker in England. Is Eddie still jet-lagged?
-
• #2491
The conspiracy loon in me thinks that Eddie is gaming his contract.
I'm guessing that he's going to have a bonus reward based on England's performance in the 2019 world cup, based against their performance this season.
If he makes the team this season as cack as possible, any result in 2019 will be a bonus.

Also - Quins / Saracens last Saturday. Great game for Quins, and an amazing atmosphere at the Stoop.
-
• #2493
Crap for all of my rugby-based accumulators, however! Watched Quins a few times this year, most recently against Glaws, and just didn't see that coming. Respect tho, massive result, but can't see them as potential finalists. Horwill and Jones great signings...
-
• #2494
Horwill is an incredible player. Massive hit on Evans who still shipped the pass too... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyTZmWk2K-I
Also, Itoje...only 21, but christ, what a tank
-
• #2495
Yeah, love the idea of Itoje on the bench covering second row and 6/8. Lawes needs a big season now - his tackling technique (or lack of) seems to see him injured 50% of the time, and he always seemed slightly lean and lightweight to be a true international second row great, especially alongside Launchbury who's more the athletic/around the park option. Seems to have bulked up a bit now so hopefully he can kick on now...

Morgan Parra...lol.
-
• #2497
Never been the same since Richie kicked him in the head ;)
-
• #2498
or was it for the headbutt on ranger? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5Trb4t7tU0#t=66
it all couldnt happen to a nicer player imo, hes a real ass -
• #2499
I'm a chiefs fan, and was at the game yesterday, was very odd at final whistle as no one had any idea if we had gone through... Lots of laughs when we saw what Parra had done...

Usually the smallest player on the field but seemingly consistently stupid enough to leave himself in the worst possible place.
Well, either stupid or brave. I know which I think
I'm a little done with ITV's sycophantic fanboy commentary on the New Zealanders.
