Re: The England v Italy match thread
I was being facetious - and slightly pessimistic.
He will, of course, bring Youngs and Ford back before RWC.

Re: Ireland v France match thread
France have peaked and are on the way down. Lucky not to have had another 20 put on them.
Ireland and NZ favourites for the RWC now. Saffas and France may spring some suprises, but I suspect not.
They haven't peaked. They are the youngest team among the Tier 1 teams. Ireland is just head ...

I'm not sure we can afford the luxury of resting our best players when playing against Italy any more. But scab-nose must know what he's doing.

Re: The Official English Rugby Thread
I only ever buy supporter shirts or polos. Cotton, collar and not skin tight (even though I can pull that off :spin ). The two polos are completely plain bar the England rose.
Unequivocally the best shirt in my small collection is the 2010 Wales - England centenary

Re: Autumn Tests replaced by eight-team tournament
I guess if it's a tournament, then the monies can be shared equitably between all teams, as opposed to the usual incoming tour arrangements?

Sale are really burning a hold in their CVC monies and it's not easy to see what represents success for them in all this. Bigger picture for my interests would be it's a shame Manu has gone somewhere that might not place an emphasis on improving his skills and decision making

By the way, £5 billion is equal to about £1.50 per person per week for a year.
Both an indication of how little money it actually is on a national scale, and what a small additional tax payment from everyone might enable.

Re: Bluetooth in ear headphones
BeatsX are supposed to be good in that price range, though a little old now. Beats are famous for being bass-y but these aren't too overpowering apparently. I read you get cable noise though, so possibly not good if you plan on jogging in them
