When you have a massively fat, unfit and ageing population no health system is going to fair well. The NHS frequently treats symptoms/outcomes not causes of ill health. Public health which is mostly long term and was very heavily neglected by the Tories and is the sort of thing that balance sheet ...

Can't he just fuck off and retire. A generation of vampires sucking up all the resources.

Like most stats, that’s one perhaps open to interpretation - maybe their cooking & storage skills are poor and they get ill from stuff that’s gone off ?
Perhaps they just too fucking fat so that they blame their food rather than the sheer quantity ?

Huge win. Dan’s lineout horror show made that a tough one to close out but otherwise a brilliant team performance.

Excellent game of rugby played by both sides, good standards and great entertainment.

Wasn't that obvious considering the scrum half buggering around with it dribbling out. Considering how many closing down players are not onside when you freeze frame things.

Pass is slower and less accurate as well

Not feeling optimistic this morning after the u20s. Dr England will give Welsh rugby a much needed lift.

This is the way of England rugby. Stop playing with any variation/creativity and pointlessly bosh away

The commentary on S4c has been disgusting, constant sniping and complaining about the ref. And that's with Wales winning. Ritchie Rees and some other fella

Even if he's not had a perfect match, there are some standards in rugby to uphold. And standards in commentary as well.

You have to call ...

Brazil wrote: Fri Mar 14, 2025 9:28 pm This ref is fucking shocking. We've blown it, but his decisions in the last seven minutes suggest bias

This ref is shit. He is crap owes England about 5 minutes, a card and at least 7 points.

Haha. Beautiful.

Tichtheid wrote: Sat Mar 08, 2025 3:41 pm I only joined as France scored their second - what happened to Dupont?

Leg got caught in ruck then an Irish player accidentally drove through and fell over twisting DuPont's knee. Terrifically unfortunate.

There is a point where accidents stop being accidents. Superb cynicism but I don't like seeing injuries.

Just dirty filth.

Saw this I wonder how much shit the Irish on the board would have made if an English international had inadvertently gouged one of their players causing a career ending injury.

Has gatland been fired yet?

It would be very funny to see o'gara take charge of Wales though he would have to be nuts to go near that job.

Tichtheid wrote: Sun Feb 09, 2025 5:03 pm Ireland are a very good side, it will take a lot to beat them - they do have to go to Paris and France can't be as bad as yesterday again, can they?

France play Ireland in Dublin. Think Ireland will win a grand slam.

Close enough!

It is sadly predictable.

Kawazaki wrote: Sun Feb 09, 2025 4:41 pm The Irish players rolling into the scrumhalf zone at rucks is hilariously obvious but just not getting pinged at all.

The speed off the line defensively is definitely enhanced by being offside. Fair play for maximising the opportunities the ref is giving them.

Paddington Bear wrote: Sun Feb 09, 2025 4:28 pm Are there/have there been any kiwi refs who aren’t hopeless?

Reffing his home team with gibson-park, lowe and aki.

Ten point swing in this game.

Henshaw knows exactly what he was doing there.

Ireland lucky there.

First bit of intensity from the Scottish forwards. Great finish.

No intensity from Scotland. Very limp so far.

KingBlairhorn wrote: Sun Feb 09, 2025 3:20 pm That was stupid. I feel like every call that could have gone against us so far has and every that could have gone against Ireland hasn’t. We need maximum luck to beat Ireland, it’s unhelpful if they get maximum luck.

Ireland are canny and need no invitation to play act.

To give him his due, Ravouvou will do that to a lot of defenders.

I do enjoy watching Bristol.
You’ll have to wash your mouth out for that
It does taste a little bit muddy

If your near weston-super-mare it is not just mud Wessex water mix in a lot of shit as well.

I want that ref for like a saints vs quins game. Would be highly entertaining for the neutral.

This ref is genuinely bad.

Edit: narrative meant tigers had to at least get a BP try.

He's pinging Bristol off the park at the moment, what are we complaining about

Quality narrative driven reffing. Wants a come back.

I see what you mean. Could just be a case of rewarding the team with the ball, mind. Some refs are like that.

He let Bristol get away with a lot first ...

Tigers shit. Players and coaches should donate a week's salary for being this crap.
