What the fook has happened to Mitchell. I've seen social team players whose idea of a warm up is a quick ciggy who can play better than this.

TMO decided an infringement from 1998 should be considered.

That's such poor reffing. It's not clearly off the Samoan guy and they'd already taken the conversion.
Samoa really deserve to have at least 5 extra points. England are playing terribly, I'm guessing Ford will cop the blame for this.

Re: England vs Samoa - Sat 4.45pm
Is it pure coincidence that England’s form has plummeted since OF is in the team?

Because rugby isn’t confusing and illogical enough for the casual fan without it.

Leavings from a session at a Japanese restaurant last night. Whisky is threatening when the sake runs out.

Samoa’s recycling at breakdown work really good - our’s none existent though at least Curry’s trying. Cole looks like he’s lost his free bus pass

Bloody hell. You’re doing well to type anything. A friend of mine brought some back from Japan once, the first and last time I’ve drunk it. The only thing worse I’ve drunk is absinthe.

Interestingly the backline have not been the worst part of this although poor in defence. That would be the breakdown and Mitchell.

Re: England vs Samoa - Sat 4.45pm
What happened to that conversion law? Is it no longer in force? This officiating is a fuukking farce? If the try can be reversed after the kick, then is there any provision for reversing the reversal and awarding the try? Yet again the minnows are being cheated out of a result.Insouciant wrote: ↑Sat Oct 07, 2023 5:37 pmThat's such poor reffing.

France, SA or Ireland would put a 100 points on us, based on that first half
