Has to be seen as an improved performance though.
Well compared to some of the charges during WW1 it's a big improvement.

Also does anyone else think Jiffy sometimes forgets the Welsh words for some terms and just says the English ones?

What is the fucking point of putting Robson on for 4 mins, can prove nothing in that time.

Eddie doesn't want him to, we know the stated aim of getting Youngs to 150.

Isn't that because Welsh only has 5 modern words so the rest are just English with y substituted in for e and i?

Serious question though, how does France deal with assimilating new words into the French language?

I’m genuinely glad that’s over. Will take solace from Wales making a very good England side look very ordinary at times. Conversely, England made a very ordinary Wales look very poor at times.

Another underwhelming win.

Poorest Welsh side we will play for a while too.

Badly - if the word is English.

People start using a word and the Académie Française comes up with a French equivalent which is mostly ignored. There is much gnashing of les dents about it.

Wales needs something like this for Welsh.

No, he isn't is he. And I've made this mistake before on PR. For a moment I thought the real Torquemada was French not Spanish. Sorry Torq!

What's more surprising is that Underhill beasted Itoje

No. Rugby has been crap and reffing has been crap. Not surprising with the layoffs and no crowds but still true

Tiperic, Navidi, Davies and Liam would have made a hell of a difference out there.

Wales didn't completely embaress themselves, and the new caps looked like decent options.

Seems pretty clear to me. The white group of blocky squares and the red group of blocky squares came together, while a squeaking noise emanated from the speakers.

Depends if official or non official. Former is the preserve of Academie Francais which is the prawn sandwich organisation with the task of determining what the Fre language is. Of course, on the street, things are very different.

I wonder whether this whole “we won’t show our attack pattern until World Cup year” means robson will take the ascendency in a couple of years.

I’m deluded aren’t I? 🙁

As I said previously. Absolute turgid dross. Is it any wonder the North has won one World Cup. Imagine paying to watch that cheap. May as well hand out cyanide capsules with the tickets. Luckily Boris is in charge hey :lol: :lol:
