Was just looking through the beeb's articles on today's games, read the England vs Wales one with the comments section on the bottom of it... The very first one I read...

"Even before a friend and his wife were forced out of their dream home by the constant threats and harassment of welsh nationalists, I always found the welsh very, very, very, very difficult to like."

Hahaha for fuck sake.

Never change Internet... Never change.
I can't remember what I did to amuse myself before the internet.

I was reading the comments to the army jobs post on Facebook. 3 women who have never served answering questions from prospective recruits/numpties with comments from serving/former squaddies ripping the pish. Was an amusing 15 minutes.
Ha, aye, there was an expat web page I used to look at, it was mainly for people that were leaving trying to sell their shit, or for cats looking to join a rugby or football team. Without fail, within about 3 posts it would descend into some form of racism. I swear if the Internet was a room it would have a couple of people sitting at a desk trying to have a reasonable conversation surrounded by 40,000 other people just throwing shite at the walls.

Did I just hear Joe Smit talk about the bounce of the ball? That gave me a violent Frank Haddan flashback.

Good try. Fringe defence both times was a bit too weak. Hard to stop mind you.

What did the water boy just give Earls to chug down with his water? Looked like some kind of pills. Not seen that before.

It's painful watching Italy these days, they've regressed from where they were a couple of years ago. Starting to develop backs that can take advantage of the forward pack they had but the forward dominance is completely gone nowadays.

He made some terrible career choices, lets leave the poor lad be. I doubt he'll ever get out of D2... maybe one of the shite Italian teams.

In all seriousness he has been out with injury for quite a while, I think he's only had a handful of games back.

It was a genuine question. I never had an issue with his choice (the way he did it is different).

Yeah, you surprised me with that initial prediction. Ireland haven't been great this year, but at home, you'd expect them to do it fairly comfortably.
