Australia will win in a canter,they were just so good against the kiwis and will improve even more. But were they so good against the Kiwi's ? If weren't for the one boot offside, NZ would have scored the first try and if it wasn't for an obstruction by Addo Carr they would have had another. The we...

England's best players against Samoa were the battle-hardened international players. By comparison, Welsby and Young had their worst games of the tournament. It probably shouldn't come as a surprise. Not sure that battle hardened players like Sam, Watkins and Micky Mac had the best games either. In...

I'm glad they let him get away with it, so that's a ban, a caution and another caution from 2 games. I'm also glad the ref let Samoa get away with constant lying on at the play the ball, I'm also glad he didn't bother that they lied in the way of the dummy half after each tackle and that they got aw...

I think the backline picks itself next season, I know a few would like to see Cust at 9, but he came over here to play as a back, so I don't think Peet will play him where he doesn't want to pay and then drop the golden boy.

We were all in the North and there were people in our seats, then people in their seats and so on. Turns out the stewards were saying sit where you like.

Spent all morning trying to get decent tickets for the final, but the ticket booking site is so hard to use. You pick your section, the number of tickets then after pardoning my interruption it says my selection is unavailable. Then when you finally find a section with availability it doesn't tell y...

The salary cap was brought in, to level the playing field, but in reality, it's just made the strongest sides weaker and the smaller sides still weak. We still have the same sides competing for the trophies and the very few winning them. Fans want to see the superstars of the game, but if they are E...

As for “bentos”what a stupid name,Christ it reminds me of fray bentos.

Well he is a bit of a pudding.

I wonder if it's actually been designed by children. I remember my kids when they were young and they did some colouring with a felt tip, there were often squiggles out of the lines and lines not quite straight. If you look closely this is how the white bits look. Its not a badly washed shirt like t...

After the Cumbria v Jamaica game drew a big crowd, its a pity there are no world cup games up there.

Seem to remember a full house last time for a NZ game.

Hopefully IMG will also look at a Cumbria Franchsie in SL.
