Some nice early involvements from Sua’ali’i.

Bull fucking shit that’s a penalty against Kellaway.

Yeah it’s a shame he just hasn’t clicked into that next gear has he. I remember seeing him at an SLC vs Ash 1st XV game a few years back and he absolutely tore it up before having to go off injured. One of those schoolboy prodigies who battle a bit at the next level.

Pretty underwhelming starting 15, but as others have said maybe it’s just backing consistency and cohesion. Our bench is strong though, it’d be nice if we can stay in the fight and then push ahead with late bench impact. Which seems to be an area where England have consistently hurt us in the past.

Dunno if that’s quite what I would go with, but I like it, and man that’s a seriously heavy duty bench.

*slow whistles* Ok then. Let’s fucking go!

I’m hoping this is Joe playing a bit of ducks and drakes before kickoff. Starting his international career at 13 at Twickenham, and bumping out one of our best players, would be pretty crazy.

Wouldn't he be better placed on the right wing?

Who would be at #7? I was pretty critical of Ekanayake last year (thought he was far too light for #6) but it sounds like he’s returning and with another year of gym work could he slot in there? Seems pretty athletic.

Yeah it’s all fucked. I have far less issue with the five year residency rule - hey at least those players have put in the hard slog to earn that right - although my tune may change shortly when young talents like Harry Hockings and Isaac Lucas soon turn out for god damn Japan. But the cherry...

Watching the Scotland vs Fiji match and geez it’s a punishing listen. Tuipulotu chatting to the ref in that broad Australian accent, commentators talking about how great it is Tuipulotu gets to captain his country (he referred to Australia as ‘home’ in an interview last week FFS), it’s all a bit...

Scratch this. The old man didn’t read his emails correctly - we have tickets for the Brisbane test. Yahoo! edit: would still probably take two tickets for Sydney though if they happen to pop up.

Actually can I put it out there please: if any forumers has, or knows of someone with, either: 2 or 3 spare tickets to the Brisbane test or 2 spare tickets to the Sydney test Can you kindly shoot me a message? I’d love to snap them up if possible! Having rotten luck buying some direct so far.

Everyone it seems won bloody ballot tickets except me. Ergh.

Obvious to the rest of the forum.

Notable inclusion of Will Nason at 23 too. I’d read he was injured hence missing most of the tournament, easing him back in via the bench. He’s quality and I think would normally be the starting 10.

Someone earlier posted that McReight will be captain, correct? So if Skelton starts, do we see Williams pushed to 6 and Valetini to 8?

Rhino, what’s your opinion of @Dismal Pillock?

This will all head to a settlement of some kind. With zero admission of guilt from either party. But free and easy cash for the Rebels directors, which is the exact outcome they want here anyway.
