I really like Eddie Jones
He is the biggest piston wristed gibbon in world rugby.
Not even close
That's come from players and coaches who have been part of his setup. Almost universally hated. Not saying he hasn't been successful, but he's just an awful human.

@dogmeat I haven’t actually seen much of that but then I choose to be fairly selective in which sports press I read. BBC in general are pretty negative until England actually win something, tabloids overboard either way as you would expect, little England press wank on like it’s the second coming of St Jonny of the drop goal.

Lewis Ludlam looks the goods.
I had some money on him to score a try
Shame I didnt check the team sheets as I also put money on Watson to score one too.... -

The USA 2nd 5 has a touch of the Sam Tuitupo to him in defence.
Paul Lasike. A Kiwi-born player who had a short stint in the NFL.
Is this game worth watching? Maybe I should just watch the last 10 mins.

I’ve met Eddie a few times and he’s pretty good for a chat and seemed decent enough. Didn’t sense that others who I were with that knew him far better had any personal animosity against him.

I've met him a few times. He's a bloody funny bloke. Loves rugby too, at all levels.
And i know more than a couple of people who have played for him, and they have a lot of time for the bloke.

Save yourself 5 minutes and watch the last 5.

just watch Farrell getting smashed in the face, that's the highlight.

That happened in the 71st minute, hence my comment about watching the last 10 mins to cover Farrell being Farrellized and the USA try.

Can't be arsed reading the thread, but didn't one the Poms whack a Yank high as well? One was a red and the other not even a card?
FFS...

Good strategy. North America kind of sucked.
But this happened from the kickoff so I reckon the officials have dropped the ball.
Crazy, right?
-
@NTA firstly, i commend you on the diversity of your gif selection, super inclusive, so yay you
secondly, i haven't seen the incident (how very Arsene Wenger of me aye @Hooroo ?) so a gif would be appreciated. I just saw a still and it looks like he hits the ball?
It's a complete lottery the tackle stuff,
-
wait, I've just seen it. That's worse than Hodges! What the actual fuck is going on?
The Yank was a red all fucking day, and deserves a fair stint on the sidelines, i think that's beyond doubt.
But that Piers Francis hits the guy in the head with the point of his shoulder, clear as day. What the fuck are the TMOs doing? Are they involved or not? Is there some dispensation for first tackle of the game? (the old "can't get out first ball" rule)
