Very miffed that Ollie Lawrence left out of the Eng team to face Italy this weekend. Seemed like the perfect game to pass the ball to him more than once.
Can’t see any benefit in dropping Marcus Smith for the Ireland match, no other fly half in the world could have done better against France behind a woefully underpowered England pack. Englands future success depends largely on its forwards not one player at 10
Can’t remember the last time I felt so frustrated after watching an Eng rugby team play. Serious reboot of some kind needs to happen for the players to rediscover their brilliance.
3 points to win it!

's drop goal that helped the Lions take a decisive win in the second Test of the 1997 Tour to South Africa!
A lot of mumble about these head clashes and red cards. Get tackle timing & technique right and most should be alright. Every Red so far I believe has been deserved. Get your head out the f***ing way it hurts!!!
Well done Scotland, scoring tries,pushing No1 team to the limit and very nearly doing enough. More to come, should be exciting times ahead with group and Gregor, good luck
The morning after..thankfully even Ghaltie’s ridiculous comments about how he thinks Wales specialise in making opponents get red cards can take away the joy of witnessing a humdinger game of rugby

Some of worst elements of Twitter appear after sport. The tirade of abuse for Farrell is so wrong. Due to jealousy & supposed national pride. A losing England captain is subjected to more abuse than any other 6 Nations. The man played well and was dignified during interviews
Press today..warning..Eng rugby stars could be tempted abroad by bigger salaries on offer! Shock/horror..It’ll only be the older ones rightly maximising earnings in last couple of contracts likely to secure before retirement. If someone like M Smith left that’s a story
Not many if any better than JC at slotting the ball between the posts…. Go well JC, looking forward to better performances from BB&W at the Rec this season.

What a lovely idea sir. My mum, Annie, turns 76 soon and is stuck at home solo in Somerset. She always used to get very excited when your old centre partner
@JeremyGuscott
got into full flow and she’d be equally excited to get a message, I’m sure!
I hope there’s some kind of legal protective facial mask that Dupont might be able to wear to unable the worlds best rugby player to continue playing in the RWC. Of course his personal health’s wellness and safety must come first!!
When this French team realise how good they can be they will be great. nothing a coach to do or say influenced the skill and bravery of those French players in last 10 mins, awesome. Players finally taking ownership
How competitive is National League 1 this season, it’s looking very tight at the top. Big games all over, especially this Friday’s clash between
@ChinnorRugby
and Rams. That looks like it will be a cracker

I was hoping Guscott would offer a justification, but he's hiding I suspect, because this win has shown him up. Guarantee he'll still engineer a way to admonish and belittle us, his historic disdain for Scotland will be too tempting i suspect. As others have already shown
Amazingly because of the draw this Eng team can make the semi’s….. and then teams, all teams, start getting nervous thinking about the final, they can’t help it…… Eng’s only chance is a semi v SA or Ire, if they play Fra or NZ they lose by 20 or more.
Very honest by Kyle, emotion palpable🙏🏽Selection for Lions squad is never a given unless your worst game average as an international is 7-8/10, no one in the Eng squad reached that mark this season apart from maybe Curry.

selection.
Fixtures out, 577 days until first game. Great memories from 1997 tour and so looking forward to the 2021 squad creating their own special times
@lionsofficial
All refs please start penalising deliberate & cynical play of players not supporting body weight at rucks in the jackal, too many getting away with placing hands on ground first, massively spoiling the game.
Well that was lovely. Very proud of this MBE and such a lovely morning at Windsor Castle. Given by the Aston Villa fan Prince William. (For services to sports broadcasting and the promotion of women in sport).
@WorldRugby
need to look at making some changes to the game as the box kick and air battle is dominating the game. It’s a dreadful spectacle. Can’t blame players or coaches as slowing ball down and defensive line speed effecting attacking play.

Just when you think it can’t get any better than that Fra v Wal game today just imagine how much more exciting the games would be without all the replacements coming on.
