I can’t explain why but it’ roly-poly, as written in the 1860's cookery book Mrs Beeton’s Book of Household Management. You wouldn’t spell it rolly anyway it would be rollie because rolly would rhyme with Polly.

Far too long for professionals but I do think they will have been drilled on tactics all week and it just left them unable to think how to counter this weird thing happening.

I doubt they’ll try it again until it can be a surprise.

Hughes is only playing because Billy Vunipola did his knee. But I geet what you are saying completely.

Nathan Hughes looked lost at times. Launchberry has been a huge bonus after losing Cruz but yeah apart form that I do agree. I get he’s the captain but Hartley doesn’t look as good as this Jamie George fella. A Hooker with soft hands who can run and is big? Yes please.

Fully agree, no need for the change. It took way too long for England to figure it out and they can basically never do it again because the next coached will say “if they don’t ruck this is what we want you to do”.

Not really. Someone who can look at a clock and tell the time. The first half was a really poor show by a team who is supposed to be much better but the second half showed a big improvement and frankly took Italy apart. Italy’s history of poor kicking meant they were only up 5 at the half when it should have been 12,…

It really wasn’t 70. It was 40,straight from the second half drop out Launchberry set a maul instead of letting them not ruck and about a minute later the second try was scored followed quickly by the third. The drop out after the second saw Launchberry just barrell up the middle because of the Italian tactics.

You could but then you need guys set up to chase a kick and the time to take it before the Italian in what would normally have been an offisde position lands on you or blocks it. Then your 9 is consistently out of the game after being pulled down by the last gain line.

It was a great tactic until England decided to just run through all the holes left by not having the ruck. Frankly they should have worked that out the 3rd time the Italians didn’t ruck.

A physically fit outfield player was probably a better option than this guy who I strongly doubt can jump.

I saw them like 7 times from the age of 14-21 but everything after Black Holes and Revelations has bored me stupid. Fuck, I saw them at Reading in my teens, I’m 30 now.

Mate, Muse happened. Honestly I don’t know why they are still big but they definitely happened. I do find it ironic that they only started having big selling albums in the US when their music became a boring Coldplay esque whitebread parody of their earlier work.

My friends asked if I wanted to go to a festival as a last hurrah because they are thinking of trying for a baby starting after summer. I said no, because I can’t sleep in a tent. I don’t want to have a bad back and sunburn and watch bands I’ve never heard of in a field. I just don’t.

I went to Reading 14 years ago and saw Muse headline. This tells me that the festival is still headlining acts who headlines 15 years ago!

I wonder if him moving to San Francisco and dating a woman with two mothers might have had an effect on him?

no such place as Bromwich or even East Bromwich.
