    Missed all the rugby yesterday – was down in the beautiful Borders doing a Hen party. Well done Lions, wow, what a cracking outfit they are turning out to be. Congrats also to all the New Caps, and to Ackers.

    Feel for Pat Lambie – 2 days ago a shoe in for captain – and would be a good one too, now Elton is on the mend and may well be ready for the 1st test. Back to splinter duty for poor old Pat, I fear.

    2 Quick Wales knocks… both could have been ruled as slap-downs if Wales were unlucky… but this time they were lucky!

    grootblousmile on 29 May 2016 at 4:13 pm

    Wales just more fluent in play, even though they are living off pretty little possession.

    Wales penalty, kickable… but they go for the corner kick.

    grootblousmile on 29 May 2016 at 4:13 pm

    Another easy peasy Wales penalty… this one will be a shot at goal.

    That’s why Farrell is needed in the England team

    After some pretty average play by England, a good try

  • 26

    grootblousmile on 29 May 2016 at 4:21 pm

  • 27

    grootblousmile on 29 May 2016 at 4:22 pm

    George Ford misses almost the easiest of conversions… eish!

    He was in the Saxon squad to tour SA not sure if he still is or has been the replacement for injured Tuilagi for Aus?

    Just For Kicks on 29 May 2016 at 4:22 pm

    2 very poor kicks by Ford, but still no reason for Farrell in my book
