Seriously? I have to say, I’ve very little desire to go to any of the world cup games, and I’m dreading the football style soap opera that the media will create around the England team when the tournament starts.

Still, plenty of rugby on TV…..happy days 🙂

I’m putting it down to teams wanting to play at match intensity, to get game fit, but not to actually risk anything. They don’t want to show the opposition any new moves, or how they might really play. Did you notice that not a single team did anything interesting? The only time ground was made was by individual breaks (rarely), by bash-bosh one man attacks, or by well established methods, eg rolling mauls. I can’t imagine for a moment that any of the NH team are going to play the same way in two weeks.

I think Webb is FUBAR, HP confirmation due today from what I heard on the radio. I heard HP needed oxygen when carried off so it might well be bad news.

Ah bollocks for them! That’s harsh!

Jonny May is hardly the most objectionable chap. From the interviews I have seen he appears a bit….well….boring.

How do May and Cipridrunkdrivemaybewhoknowsdidboffkellybignorksani get put together one is a wing and the other is a 10

I dont think the road closure is about gouging more money out of you but for safety (I may of been duped) Kingsholm leaving is a bit of a mare with traffic etc.

Went to Twickenham on Saturday as it was a chance to bring the kids to see England V Ireland at an almost affordable level compared to 6N prices. I thought May looked excellent really strong and sharp.

Ireland looked a bit rusty but I’m not too concerned yet. We have a few weeks to peak unlike England and Wales who will need to be sharp from the getgo.

I seem to be sharing a hotel with Fiji. I think, anyway.

May’s celebration reflects how pumped up the team was before kick off,msg that’s a credit to the management. After last years 6N and this being the last warm up game and at home all makes sense to me.

Gutted for hp, a bit odd to do his ACL that way as a pro in good physical condition. Exactly how I did mine, stepping off one leg but I have a genetic weakness and even in my 20’s no where near his conditioning.

@jimdub very odd to close the road completely. Last RWC there was a lot of hospitality on the Quinns side of 316 so perhaps that’s it. I’m driving as usual and park near Twockenham Green. QF4 too.

I thought England HAD won the RWC Final – then I realised it was 4 minutes into a warm up match….

If celebrating like a bunch of Association Footballers is a credit to the management then we’re in big trouble.

Halfpenny out innit?

I have to say, any player recently cut from larger training squads should definitely be keeping fit as I think we will see a lot more during the tournament.

He’s going to be even more angry than usual!!!!

I’d never have cut him in the 1st place but Gatland must’ve caught him shagging his wife for all the look in he gets.

Hook has done something to upset someone but he has had his goes and has never really done it on a big stage. Gloucester rate him highly not sure if that is a compliment or not 😆

Hook suffers from being a more ‘unpredictable’* 10 than Y Gat likes given how the team is set up. But I’d take him everyday over Priestland, who is predictable mostly in his ability to be shit, and he offers cover at 10, 12, 13 and 15.

*The opposition don’t know, his teammates don’t know and half the time it seems to take him by surprise too.

We’ll find out if he’s shit when we see him play for bath. Oh wait…..
