  • There’s been enough ink spilled on the onvious talking points yesterday, but away from that apparently Aldritt’s injury was relativly minor - some stitches but no muscle/tendon/bones damaged, and he attended the post-match presser.

    I saw the way he’d been pulled over the ruck, and the blood and what looked like bruising on his knee, and was worried that was season over for him, or worse.


  • France were absolutely awful. Willemse did a good job showing why he wasn’t even in the squad before a run of injuries left a space for him.

    Lucu is a great player, and he and Jalibert have been on fire in the top 14, but he just doesnt seem to have “it” when he’s had a chance as starting 9. Not sure if that’s nerves, not being able to make the step up, or just trying to hard to come out of Dupont’s shadow. I’m not one for panicking, but would be minded to give Le Garrec a chance.

    Italy getting better, tho been saying that for years. Not looking forward to playing them tho. I think with so many of their olayers plying their trade in top 14 they’ve performed well against us for years.

    No idea what the fuck that Wales-Scotland game was about. Literally. No idea how to extrapolate anything from that give them each team seemingly only wanted to play for 40 minutes.











  • Thought it was mad England sacking Jones, and I was one of the people that maintained England had been underperforming for about 18 months. Couple of million quid buying out contracts just to get to where they would be right now anyways.

    But sacking Rennie was absolutely batshit. If you look at the win % he wasn’t doing brilliantly, but a lot of those losses were very narrow, for eg single point (iirc) loss to France in Paris etc, and in circumstances that were less than ideal. The administrators basically YOLO’d it, and there should be heads rolling higher up imo.

    Once took a recently turned three year old on a two hour flight without too much issue. Obvs at that age an extra year is a huge difference, but he was genuinely loving the take off and once you’re up it’s basically a big ol’ white noise machine. We had a tablet and books handy for him, though he still got restless towards then end

    I imagine with yours being younger and the haul being longer it might be more problematic, but I would treat it like any other boring-for-kids situation. Books, activities, hey duggee on the tablet. Hopefully they’ll sleep at some point.

    Other than that, just be aware that the people on the plane will be furiously twittering about parents and children and planes. But they’re probably cunts, so fuck ‘em.
