Biggar screaming in the ref's face. Story of his career.

Yup. He's the hottest property in NH coaching. A twat, but bloody good at the job. McKellar started his Leicester stint with a loss to Bristol last night. He has inherited a Borthwick team who played pretty much as England do now. Muscle and kicking. Will be interesting to see how McKellar adapts.

Making his debut as Leicester coach v Bristol tonight.

Boks between a rock and a hard place at 10. Play Libbok, who gets them running - and they're much more dangerous with running allied to their power - but can't kick. Or Pollard, a black hole but can kick.

Stirling Mortlock. He was on co-coms for the BBC radio coverage. Early on, when Ws were looking decent, Mortlock said it's how Jones wants them to play: unstructured, taking chances, playing what's in front of you. Hullo? As the game progressed, he despaired about decision making, lack of...

He coaches La Rochelle. What he says is true of La Rochelle. 1-10 is where they do all the damage. 12-15 cash in and are laughing.

And playing so deep.

Jorgensen broken leg at training.

Especially defence.

This. And especially the bold bit.

Absolutely. Penalty to Fiji. Try a joke.

Wallabies lineup: Angus Bell, David Porecki, James Slipper, Nick Frost, Will Skelton (c), Tom Hooper, Fraser McReight, Rob Valetini, Nic White, Carter Gordon, Marika Koroibete, Samu Kerevi, Jordan Petaia, Mark Nawaqanitawase, Ben Donaldson. Res: Jordan Uelese, Blake Schoupp, Zane Nonggorr...

Yes, should have been red. The mitigating factor was intervention of another player, the same mitigation that saved Farrell until WR (World Rugby) appealed. Last night the intervention didn't materially affect anything. The French lock was always leading with his shoulder, the collision was going to happen...

True. They're still dangerous on the counter but defence, as against Italy last week, is slipshod.

Itoje's best was in a pack a lot stronger than recent ones. He was icing on the cake.

As he was with England.

Bad discipline has been a perennial problem. It was also a massive problem for England under Eddie. Not only did he not resolve it, he seemed not to care beyond bemoaning it.

This. Especially now it's known that Eddie and the ARU were talking before Eddie was sacked.

He was excellent in the air in AFL but that's about all.

The insane number of penalties routinely given away by England? Eddie's post-match mantra was always "We need to improve our discipline". They never did.
