He's been best on the wing, weirdly. Really love his work with ball in hand

Oh no it's not!
You scored more points and had heart and could handle the pressure against pea hearted Bristol.Hal Jordan wrote: Sat Jun 19, 2021 3:12 pmOh no it's not!
What. The. Actual. Fuck.
How did we win that?!?
Lynagh produced the goods today as wellJM2K6 wrote: Sat Jun 19, 2021 3:14 pm Terrible decisionbut he fucked us royally in the first half and is not a good ref any more so I'll take it
A frankly insane win.
I feel for Bristol, those injuries really stymied them.
Smith was immense, hit everything as hard as he could, counter rucked everything, hammered home the advantages. Marchant was incredible. Marler was superhuman. But green was my motm, a ridiculous display.
Ah I think it was - just under the chin but that's the sort of tackle they're trying to stamp out. Bad decision but there you go.

Are you listening to radio Devon? It's not as bad as that by any means. Earnt the yellow, though.Oxbow wrote: Sat Jun 19, 2021 3:36 pm Not watching the Chiefs v Sale game, but the radio says Manu just near-decapitated somebody?
Both players dropped their height into the tackle and Manu clocked him in the jaw with a forearm.

Ref has decided to prevent Fra competing at all at the breakdown now.sockwithaticket wrote: Sat Jun 19, 2021 5:11 pm England much improved in the second half, a couple of tries in the opening ten to slash the defecit.

I'm afraid I was rooting for the six-fingered cranks in this because Sanderson is such an unrepentant cunt, and I also have an irrational dislike of Faf De Clerk that goes beyond the usual "opposition scrum half = anal wart" for some reason.Brazil wrote: Sat Jun 19, 2021 5:30 pm Pretty sad about that, but we were always chasing the game. Hopefully the racist anti-vaxxers get a nice big COVID outbreak midweek and have to forfeit.
Given where we were mid season we've done exceptionally well to get this far, and a few things last week going differently would, I'm absolutely certain, have seen us in the final. We've come.on in leaps and bounds since Sanderson came in, and have a much stronger squad through how he's used the academy. Looking forward to next season and very proud of what the team has achieved.
This plus I'm a fan of anything that undermines "buy a bunch of South Africans" as a method to achieve premiership success.Hal Jordan wrote: Sat Jun 19, 2021 5:35 pmI'm afraid I was rooting for the six-fingered cranks in this because Sanderson is such an unrepentant cunt, and I also have an irrational dislike of Faf De Clerk that goes beyond the usual "opposition scrum half = anal wart" for some reason.Brazil wrote: Sat Jun 19, 2021 5:30 pm Pretty sad about that, but we were always chasing the game.

More a fan of the "nick other teams academy prospects and set up a pyramid scheme" model as a pests fan presumably?sockwithaticket wrote: Sat Jun 19, 2021 5:37 pmThis plus I'm a fan of anything that undermines "buy a bunch of South Africans" as a method to achieve premiership success.Hal Jordan wrote: Sat Jun 19, 2021 5:35 pmI'm afraid I was rooting for the six-fingered cranks in this because Sanderson is such an unrepentant cunt, and I also have an irrational dislike of Faf De Clerk that goes beyond the usual "opposition scrum half = anal wart" for some reason.Brazil wrote: Sat Jun 19, 2021 5:30 pm Pretty sad about that, but we were always chasing the game.
