Mostly talk about rugby across the pro leagues and countries
The English media and public are about to go into hyperdrive over this team. I know that South Africa are actually the no1, but to the layman New Zealand are always the team to beat. Big statement from England and Borthwick

When England win this, it'll be hard to disagree with the opinion that they're the best side in the world. Undefeated all year and beating the best in the world in NZ #ENGvNZL

Beauden Barrett has just turned up in Turin offering to be a character witness for Mostert, but Ramos is trying to escort him from the premises #ITAvRSA

Absolutely brain dead by Italian scrum there. 7 points gifted to South Africa

It’s insane over on the other place. South Africans are convinced that Ireland has purposefully, and incorrectly banned de Jager for the upcoming match.

I’m hearing rumours of the reopening of the WASPI case by Labour. This and the possibility of a pension tax free cap for us is absolutely ripping the piss of the working generation.

Real questions to be asked about Galthie, possibly best squad in world rugby but can’t win without the best player ever. Falling out with Jalibert and Alldritt, doesn’t take long for a rot to set in.

The five subs for France have stalled their energy this game. Throwing it away, whilst South Africa have been clinical (tee aside)

Incredible recovery by Ramos to be this funny just seconds after having his head removed by de Jäger

Correct decision, I was worried they were going to bottle it with the upgradable yellow. Tucked and very dangerous. Exactly the thing that should be removed from the game.

Ramos is so good. So much time on the ball

McKenzie scores where Graham knocks on, and that’s the game. Fine fine margins.

Simply awful discipline by the all blacks. 30 minutes out of 70 at 14 men.

And with that try, the mountain became a double mountain
Hardly groundbreaking analysis by me, but Scotland really suffering to be on zero. Chasing games against top sides, and NZL could easily slap 30 pts on them in the last 20 minutes to blow open a close match

This Ireland side do look markedly blunter and worse than a year ago. Struggling to score against a poor Japanese defence. SA match looming large, could be v painful. #IREvJPN

One of the funniest bits of the Mary Earps story is she’s still playing. You’re not meant to release your dickhead autobiography until you’re retired.

Wessels ban upheld, but reduced by one game. Sensible decision, sounds like everyone will be happy

Newcastle in for a long season if they don’t sign an actual coach. Loads of signing needed too, far adrift from the other teams. Quins clearly 8th/9th best this season, half an hour bonus point.
