Ross deserved MOTM for me, but what a display from all 23. They made LAR look old and fat.

Jenkins has been really costly. Ross has gone very well I'm delighted to say!

Re: A whiff of Cordite

The42 Monday podcast was a decent listen. Very little of the ROG sycophancy while actually talking about it. A lot of the talk of the upcoming game was very balanced. I thought jackman was a bit all over the place. Couldn’t seem to decide if it was coming to be the players or the coaches that made ...

Re: Leinster v La Rochelle Saturday 13th April 2024 at 5.30pm RTE2

What I’d like- is a considered selection to counter their advantages and- particularly for us to stop messing about in the line out! It was infuriating and embarrassing to watch all that intricate movement come to nothing as- (I think) three throws went to relatively static Leicester players who pi...

Yes, should have taken the 3. Some very sloppy stuff here, huge improvement needed.

Fairly mixed performance in general.

Very little 'coaching' or chat from the ref throughout, made a nice change.

It's long been a national characteristic. They're also being permitted to throw in crooked on a regular basis.

Deserved for England alright, though felt the officials gave us little or nothing. Poor overall.

Re: A whiff of Cordite

On the subject of GT I see he somehow thought it worthwhile to report that Mike Catt was asked (presumably by GT himself) at his presser about 'how to improve the atmosphere in the Aviva'. This is now verging on the obsessional. His Wales match report was mainly about the lack of 'atmosphere', and o...

Re: Netflix 6 Nations 2023 series

It's a note-for-note replica of Drive to Survive and would have been a lot better for not following the recipe quite so closely. Lots of pre-game stadium pyro and very little insight, though there was some nice match footage occasionally. Something along the lines of what NFL Films produce would hav...
