Autumn Internationals

The proper rugby, that is. Great match today, Ireland beating the World Champions South Africa in a bruising game.
The Scots limped to a win against the Fiji. Wales hammered by the ABs. France squeeze past the Aussies.
Tomorrow, England take on an improving Argentina.

18 months too late IMO. He's taken us backwards and the discipline has been dreadful.

Back to the future for Wales. Gatland replacing Pivac.

Fuck me, weren't we shit, the Saffers could have had another couple of red cards and it wouldn't make any difference. The lack of discipline has been a feature of Jones' reign which he doesn't seem to have addressed.

Jones was probably saved by the AB capitulation.
He has a ten at 12 and a 12 at 13. Needs to keep Farrell on the bench get underhill back fit and discover an 8 from somewhere. Can't see how Wales can persist with Pivac, though.
Delighted with the work Andy Farrell is doing.

Cough... his match up with Jonny Hill was man v boy... class act is the Bok... has to be best in the world at lock in league of his own.
I have not got a clue what the game plan was yesterday... we never had a pack to take them of physically... no Marler etc... and we never tried to take them on in the loose.... it was a real headscratcher... even the Boks we was yapping to were surprised how tepid our pack was... deffo two steps back this Autumn series

I cant see them sacking him 5 months before the tournament so I fear we're stuck with the cunt, whatever happens in the 6 Nations.
The time to get rid was when we finished 5th in 2021 but they bottled it because they'd only extended his contract 10 months earlier so it would've been very costly
Best defensive coach in world rugby is English and currently improving the French Arguably the best English coach is currently making the Irish better Despite having better resources than anyone else we're stuck with a twat whose schtick has long since lost any appeal

Well just like watching West Ham... great day out spoilt by the football/rugby!! Sat amongst a load of Bok... great banter all game... good lads and shook all their hands at end of game... no contest... bullied in the scrum... bullied in the line out...and lost the breakdown... some liabilities out there... biggest one Jonny Hill...been crap for yonks but yesterday was another level... Dave Ribbans has to be a starter...Eddie will need a good 6N otherwise i cant see him being in charge for the RWC

Unlucky England. Just need some stability. Time to give Eddie a life long contract.

Let's hope the Paddies turn up for a World Cup for the first time in their history. They might even make the Quarter Final when it actually matters.

Yep, for Jones read Southgate. No freedom/expression allowed. Fear of failure too great.

I didnt analyse the game I said I heard England were in possession with all the momentum and didnt want to try and win by all accounts. Tell me thats not true. Would have the All Blacks or any serious team have done the same? I believe even Australia kicked a penalty into the corner after 77mins to try and WIN v Ireland rather than draw. Hey, at least Agent Eddie kept his job
I didnt say Qatar are getting out of the group. Why lie? Apart from your innate Liverpool supporter genes obviously I said I hadnt seen them play & that Senegal & Netherlands were likely qualifiers.

Yep, Sven analysing a game he didn't see. Having watched it, it was the ABs that looked flaky at the finish.
Sven also said on the WC thread that Qatar would get out of their group and in the next sentence said he had never seen them play!
They played a load of friendlies against European teams and were clearly shit to anyone that watched them
