Summer Nations Series (World Cup warm-ups) - Final weekend discussion thread
  • Congrats to Fiji, they deserved the win.

    Started OK but the sudden bout of weather seemed to put the brakes on any attack we had. And then it all fell apart. Asleep defensively and we seem to have forgotten how to deal with a wet ball, which is odd given the summer we've had. Fiji played well but we gave them the game. Can't even blame the ref, Peyper was fair.

    Smith injected a bit of energy when he came on. Will give him that much.

    I just don't know what's going wrong. Players that have been playing together for years suddenly have no chemistry, and look clueless. When we did have possession, the attack was completely one dimensional (after the weather) with Smith being the only person to attempt anything beyond passing it down the line.

    Argentina and Japan are rubbing their hands together.

  • Just arrived at Twickenham after an odyssey across London due to train strikes. Not been to a "big" game for years and really looking forward to it.

    Not really watched England since the 6N, find it too depressing. Hoping for a decent performance and proper game today. Hopefully Fiji are getting optimistic.

  • Owen Farrel Banned for Four games
  • Nonsense is right. He may not be a dirty player, but then there's a fair weight of documentary evidence that suggests he's simply incapable of playing professional rugby to the standard required of him.

  • Bin etiquette - advice needed
  • Well you've just made me realise that I've been doing bins wrong. I tend to go handle out, without really thinking about it, but it's just more awkward for everyone involved. I'll change my ways on Wednesday.

  • I've probably played 10s of hours of it and I have no idea what's going on. Run in, make sure you're holding down the scream button, swing your weapon a few times, maybe get a few lucky hits in, die. It's brilliant.

  • What are you reading at the moment?
  • It's bloody brilliant isn't it. Not usually one for sci-fi novels but loved the series so thought I'd give it a go. Read the first 3 so far and now taking a break and reading something else.
