That's that for cirpriani. What a dick.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Absolute waste of a talent.

Happened at Drift in St Helier. Gloucester have been training at Jersey RUFC.

Joe Marler 28, retires from international rugby, to spend more time with his family.

It is a hell of a commitment esp. with the World Cup next year.

England win against SA. Much better second half.

Stuart Barnes is still a bitter cunt, very annoyed that England didn't give away a penalty to lose at the end.

 

[Paul]

To be fair that last tackle could have gone either way, looked like a full on shoulder barge to me, but its South Africa so shame

 

[visage]

Deffo a penalty. If that had been in the first minute the ref would have given it.

 

[Tredman]

He wrapped his arms around, or at least attempted to. It wasn't high either.

 

[Paul]

naw, did just enough with his arms for the ref to buy it

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Blatant penalty for me. But the ref didn't give it so England held on. Probably deservedly so for a much better second half. They have to keep the penalty count down though. It seems to be a major issue in every game.

 

[Tredman]

Apart from the first 15 minutes England's penalty count was pretty decent. Shit before though.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Plus the Itoje penalty and yellow card actually won the game. South Africa were almost certain to score from that ruck.

 

[Tredman]

Fantastic game for England against NZ this afternoon. Brilliant try to win it too.

 

[Tredman]

England properly back to their best today so far.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Hugely hugely impressive start. Of course, the All Blacks never know when they are beaten, but England can do this.

 

[Tredman]

Jamie George literally throwing it away.

 

[Tredman]

Possibly the worst throwing performance I've ever seen. And I've seen Tom Youngs throw.

 

[Tredman]

Appallling TMO refereeing to deny England a really good try.
