Good run out by England against Japan this morning. Starts for real in a fortnight

Edited by Smollet on Saturday 22 June 09:27

Just a run out for us against a Tier 2 side.

I didn't know you'd got UK citizenship now? Congratulations!

Your envy is not a good look.

You’re masking your anxiety well, JBS.

Mate, you're going to get your backsides handed to you on a plate. Mark my words.

It’s going to pretty lively, that’s for sure. Interesting to see where Robertson takes them.

Can someone please tell me why leading up to the try that isn’t classed as a forward pass??? Hands forward and ball forward by a few ft. Ref: try is good!

Looked forward to me. But I’m an old bd and apparently they’ve redefined “forward”.

TBH the ref is dreadful - but you're correct about the whole forward pass lunacy

Nowt to do with the new definitions. That was thrown forward even by the new criteria. It was just a wrong call by the officials.

Nick Isiekwe gets the nod - as an aside that's 2 reds in 8 minutes of international rugby. One might be forgiven for thinking that he may be lucky to get further chances...

Just watching the top quatorze final.

My word.

Extraordinare.

Obviously I’ve missed it- but where is/was the Top 14 shown?

Premier Sports if you have a subscription (they have most the top games, albeit not all of them), but I understand the final was also on available online for free somewhere.

I'm not sure the Top 14 is generally available free anywhere.

Hmmm.

Not exactly quaking in my boots.

I think that’s our best team. Interesting to see how they go.

I’ll be driving back from Germany when it’s on.

Does anyone know if it’s on the radio anywhere? I had a quick look at the schedules for Radio 5, Radio 5 Extra and the two Talksport channels and think I may be fresh out of luck. Might be streamed via the bbc sport app?

[DodgyGeezer]

I'm still not sure about Slade - I get that he's a very elegant player for Chiefs, but doesn't seem to go well in an England vest?

Might be on talksport? Or if you don't mind a totally unbiased and fair commentary there's always...

as long as it's not bloody Jiffy or Guscot I suspect we'll all be happy

[Jordie Barretts sock]

They're on ITV/BBC aren't they? Doubt they'll be on Sky. In fact I'd fully expect you all (that watch it on Sky) to get very salty about the Kiwi comms you're going to get!

Guscott is out of it now - isn't he?
