The rugby

More than a bit one way traffic this

Total no contest.
Not going to watch much more as I could do with a break.
I have NZ sports channels so may watch the match again just to hear their commentators shock.

Sadly the lowest attendance for a Wales game against the ABs for about 90 years......

I didn't bother watching an obviously embarrassing mismatch. Oh well. Highlights it will have to be. Meanwhile England mincing Japan

This could be a cricket score.
This is a perfect game to blood new players.
And borthwick plays George Ford.
Pointless selection.

I was going to watch it over the club with some friends, but we decided we didn't want to just cry into our beers. We're all a bit jaded with Welsh regional rugby teams and the constant uncertainty within the WRU.

Watched it at home instead. Well at least I saved myself some money.

Great performance in attack and towards the end in defending when tries seemed inevitable.

Now need to build on this as a good start rather than an end in itself.

Did I hear that right? Laura Dern has just scored for Japan.

Not seen much of her since Jurassic Park

I don’t know about Laura Dern, but Japan’s coach is a dinosaur.

Jones looks like a wizened old gnome. He's been trading on past glorious for ages now, surely his time must be just about up?

 

[Dorset Boy]

First half, England used their backs to devastating effect.
This half the donkeys have decided not to allow the ball out quickly, and England look so much poorer

20 min red confirmed.
Joseph won't be seen in an England shirt again after this start!

I don’t understand? Record-equalling try count in an international, why wouldn’t he?

 

[Blazing Saddles]

I watched the NZ version and have to say their commentators were more even handed than our lot.
They were in awe of the Welsh attack in the first half and of course, that magnificent defence in the second half.

Past history of England players getting a MotM and then rarely seen again - Rokodunguni, Ojomoh, and plenty of others over the years.
Slightly tongue in cheek comment, but unless he met Borethicks stats requirements, the actual performance is irrelevant

Yeah, I went out for a bike ride, since I fully expected a stuffing from NZ, and it supposed to be raining most of tomorrow.

Not seeing what the Fijian guy could have done there, he was setting for a tackle and the Irish player fell into him about a foot off the ground.

Agreed, seems very harsh.
