RE: the Shithouse Morgan thing with men having Babies In chest carriers being emasculated… My avatar is me, feeding my baby while he’s in a sling stood on the terrace at a rugby game… I felt pretty ‘masculine’ that day if I’m honest.

Ireland’s scrummaging is exactly the same as it was last week by the way. The only difference is that there’s a ref who wants to look at their binds and body position as well

People made their mind up on Anscombe the moment he got here. They won’t be swayed regardless of his performances. Since the groin injury has been fixed he’s been both a world class 10 and 15. The only reason he plays 15 at Cardiff is because Jarrod is better than Morgan.

Rugby supporters need to realise that TV money is the biggest income stream in rugby The primary concern isn't that you and your mate can get to the ground for a 3pm kickoff. Or that you and 100 pals can hop on the bus and have a day out in Bath. Rugby needs TV.

Why are people surprised that Gatland didn’t pick Young. He’s the same clown who said Navidi ‘was too small for international rugby’ And then having to pick him after a raft of injuries and him being the best player against NZ and then becoming a Lion… He’s a clown.

Also, on the Red card thing. It’s ridiculous that you can bring a player back on that’s been subbed off to replace a red carded player. Thomas went off for Jarrod, then came back on 5 minutes later when the Lane red card period was up. That rule needs to get in the bin

Underrated moment is the Oz last try. If they hadn’t scored then, poite was giving a third penalty in the Redzone which would likely have meant a yellow as well Oz scoring that phase saved Wales going down to 14 & it’s a lot more difficult for them to win that game #WaleVAus
