England v Chile - ko 16.45 Sat 23/09

HT  England 31-0 Chile  


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Ireland v Boks was absolutely brutal, an utterly compelling low-scoring game and incredible noise from the crowd. At that level I prefer it to international football.

Steward was faultless for 75 mins.

One poor kick. One poor jump.

Fine effort

As soon as they made the changes and started to destroy our scrum, we were cooked. They had a Plan B and Plan C and we didn't have the players on the bench to adapt. Great effort, of course, but ultimately not quite good enough. Even if we had sneaked through to the final, I suspect it would have been like the last World Cup where we couldn't raise our game enough twice in a row.

Yep two fine efforts today; at the start of the day, I was expecting a humping for Town and England (rugby), I wasn't expecting that absolute trashing for the cricketers mind.

Dan Cole was magnificent, scrummaging with his brain when he took that little step back so the Bok loosehead went down when they were in our 22. That one mistake by the Norfolk lad is going to haunt him, but it still needed the (almost inevitable) scrum pen as his ex-Leicester colleague goes down on one knee, and then his current club colleague nails the long kick.

Great news that the next tournament is expanding to 24 teams & 6 groups of 4. The format this year with the group stage taking over a month was ridiculous.

Next time the group stage will be over in around 18 days, the tournament will be a week shorter and they’ll be an extra round of knock-out Rugby- maybe even Ireland could win their first ever knock-out match at a RWC with having a Round of 16?

Dont mind watching the rugby world cup . Thing is having played the game for my school its a tough old sport and certainly more physical than football. Helps to get on the weights as well when your playing and put some bulk on 💪.


One life,one love .
