@MikeFriday09 @ah_yup_yup @stephenjones9 Spot on. It’s one thing seeing an opportunity, it’s another having the skill to exploit it. 👏🏻🇿🇦

[Michael Browne @CinqueBrowne]

@MikeFriday09 @ah_yup_yup @stephenjones9 Mike is right. The red changed the game. But why didn’t England manage it better in H2. They did a good job for 10 mins in H1. Blame the coaches for half time messaging/poor prep in training. Same happened in the semi in 2023 v France.

@TheSimonEvans The Jam. December 11th 1982…..and unlike the millions who claim they were there, I wasn’t !

@PremSportsTV I can’t believe no one has picked up that the hole Serin went through was created by a Toulon player, on the ground in the ruck, pulling Dombrandt round by the leg and swinging him out. Dangerous and illegal. It’s not a great dummy it’s great cheating.

@tatoemonkey @EnglandRugby @allianzuknews It’s a German company….

@AndyNaylorBHAFC In 2023, the Albion scored 22 goals at home in PL. In 2024 just 8 and 4 of those in the Palace game. That’s not strong at home in anyone’s book. Thats relegation form.

[Michael Browne @CinqueBrowne]

@AndyNaylorBHAFC In 2024, in the premier league, excluding the Palace game Brighton have scored just 4 goals at home…….

In and out the prezzer with their numbers and no shame

Meanwhile at the Quins there’s a couple of likely lads
Who should have coached this lot and they’re very cool for cats

A song for England for the #RWC #england

An Ode to the Chief Exec (with apologies to The Squeeze)

Bill Sweeney’s almost 90 and he’s really got to go

He picked a gang of coaches in a shed at Welford Road

Their counting out their fivers when the England lose again

Shaun Edwards Red Card/High Tackle on Bradley Clyde https://t.co/TAvRHYuSdL via @YouTube
Edwards was GB Captain. He recently defended Farrell’s tackle on Basham, who was England Captain…..#ENGvWAL #tackle

[Michael Browne @CinqueBrowne]

This is from the Georgian RFU page. And is 100% correct after yesterday! #ENGvWAL

[Michael Browne @CinqueBrowne]

@BBCSport And FYI Farrell received a four week ban in January for high tackle. Reduced to 3 as he took the tackle course. 6 weeks coming….. #engvwal

[Michael Browne @CinqueBrowne]

@BBCSport Once you have named your squad, can you change it for a red card ? You can for an injury ? Has Borthwick’s strategy of naming the squad early , seriously backfired ? #ENGvWAL

[Michael Browne @CinqueBrowne]

@BBCSport 6 weeks would mean not available until 30th September. He would miss all pool games except Samoa. Is it worth taking him on that basis ? #ENGvWAL

@bbctms @ZaltzCricket Concorde used to fly over london between 5:30 and 6pm every working day. And Aggers is right, you couldn’t hear a thing when it went past !

[Michael Browne @CinqueBrowne]

@bbctms I think the Topleys and Tremletts may have equalled the Ealhams in generations of substitute fielders . Can you discover ?

[Michael Browne @CinqueBrowne]

@Nigelrefowens @WayneBarnesRef Many Thanks !

[Michael Browne @CinqueBrowne]

@Nigelrefowens @WayneBarnesRef Watching the U20s World Championship in SA have seen 3 penalty tries from scrums (Ire vEng, Eng v Fiji, Fra v NZ) after which the ref did NOT award a yellow card which is mandated in law 8.3. Is this a new interpretation ? A trial? An error?
