Oh and the wru spend all the money paying off stadium debts. The regions will reach a point soon where their crowds dwindle even more and the game will die on its arse. Pretty soon the regions will struggle to qualify for the larger cup ( or whatever its called these days).
The Ceri Sweeney wiki says he is keen to be the first Welsh international to play in Russia 😯 He might be doing ok over the bridge (haven't kept up much with the Aviva) but the Blues did him a favour getting rid of Nicky Robinson as he was starting to peak and getting in Sam Norton Knight for Sweeney to keep getting regular game time 😆
Last I heard Henson and Sweeney were playing ten against each other for the exeter and bath seconds.
That sounds quite good fun, I think I'll go and watch
Ah wait, I'm already in a corporate box and I'll be too drunk to see!
Nicky Robinson is at brizzle now, and we're very happy to have him. I know he blows hot and cold but an under rated player IMHO.
Spare a thought for Smiler today

Just heard how big Retallick is 😯 he is a big unit.
It's a longshot but England can win today. Important not to give NZ any cheap penalties and play a smart kicking game to keep the pressure on them in their half. NZ don't respond well to being behind and under pressure.
I am extremely pessemistic about this. We have zero.zero chance.
Have you turned welsh? Theres little chance but theres always hpe.
@toys19 last year all we could speak about before the game was how we where going to get battered. A win today is very unlikely but it's possible. NZ didn't look that good against France and where under pressure for long periods, France gave them too many cheap penalties.
AA no. I have much more hope for Wales today.
Jamblaya. Yup fingers crossed..
Oh dear...
The legs might be gone but that is experience!
Can we keep each other updated 10 nil wales so far.
Steve walsh getting involved.
Wales doing well, England 4 points behind already.
Given ABE, is it OK for me to be supporting Argentina?
4?
Eng3 ab15
Carter makes it 17
Am I allowed to mention failure to deliver?
20 nil
Wales - Argies game woeful. At least the pissed up crowd is enjoying it. Time to watch a dodgy internet stream from twickenham I think.
North try?
England try disallowed. Hmm
Why woeful ref doing a nice job and its a good open game. Argies unlucky so far that young winger looks exceptional only 19.
20:3 now
Now we have try. After grindingnit out on the line for about 10 years.
Who.is your ref?
Farrel c 10-17
Can we have a gif of that Hibbard hit later on please a_a 🙂
Carter limps off. Cruden on
Robshaw and vinopula are awesome.
Getting quite interesting in Twickenham since that England try isn't it? Far more enjoyable game for the neutral than the one in the millennimum.
Nice kick from Cruden there...20-10 at Twickenham.
Is it just me, or is jiffy pissed?
This really ought to be ten minutes for someone in a black shirt.
EDIT: Indeed it is.
I dontbthonk eng will win but I am notbashamed
K ried yellow. Happy days.
Lacey of Ireland.
Farrel p e 13 nz20
Dunno though toys, I think there should have been a penalty to the ABs before the yellow card incident. England player held on, ref missed it leading to a new ruck...
Interesting ten coming up though. 🙂
23:3. Half time.
The English backs basic skills are shocking, the pack must hate the ball being given to them.
Awesome scrummaging from England. This really is a cracking game.
20-16 - penalty from England out-scrummaging
1 point...
