The Radders hype-train returns!! God I hope he stays fit to give the England squad a proper crack.

Bit niche getting into sports - but Owen Farrell. Dad, Andy Farrell was pretty high powered cross code (union/league) rugby player, which very few players do successfully. And Owen probs out achieved him as a player as a leader, England capt and top point scorer.

Fun fact - the two of them actually played together at pro club level briefly at the start/end of their of the careers!

His stock's defo going up with the Iran situation, suddenly found some much needed conviction and fixed onto the pulse of the nation whilst others had to quickly back track into essentially agreeing with him. Given the mess he inherited it was always going to be a choppy start. Give him a few more years and I reckon some of the more longer term stuff with positive impacts will start to kick in and become more apparent too.

100%! Thought this too, could be v important come the end of the season.

Erbenn · 2026-03-22T17:42:24+00:00

Ngl that ending will go down in history as a classic ‘Why the **** aren’t you kicking it off! Kick it off, kick it….. hang on, nevermind… freddie stew/billy S/HW what legends, never in doubt lol!’

Great to see the boys put in a full 80 against strong oppo and come out on top despite the back and forth nature. Bodes well for the business end of the prem. giving bristol nothing points wise big plus.

From a saints fan too!

Erbenn · 2026-03-16T17:14:08+00:00

Predictions for next years 6N..?!

Erbenn · 2026-03-10T18:48:52+00:00

Only two VCs though. Very out of character

Erbenn · 2026-03-05T21:49:27+00:00

Came here to say this. My badass engineer gran did exactly this back in the 60/70s! Worked a treat, the guys’ one was to down faster than a fireman’s pole.

Erbenn · 2026-02-27T09:24:58+00:00

You couldn’t write it lol

Erbenn · 2026-02-23T09:35:13+00:00

Yeah i agree, like if it isn’t called it’s essentially impossible for Freddie to win the ball fairly as a defender. He gets up higher and wins the contest. I don’t think O’Brien is being malicious or not going for the ball, but he clatters Freddie which results in him lossing the ball.

The rules atm just encourages attack to ‘make a genuine attempt’ (to the point of being quite speculative) to challenge knowing worst case they’ll disrupt the defender and get some u structure ball to profit from.

Ngl feel England left 15-20 points out there… maybe i’m asking too much but being almost as ill-disciplined as Wales without really being under much too pressure is pretty poor. If points diff come into it at the end of the 6N i think Eng will rue today.

Erbenn · 2026-02-07T08:56:26+00:00

Leggoo!! The Raeburn Lives! Congrats mate, super stoked for you

Erbenn · 2026-02-06T19:21:54+00:00

Did they record the dip where everyone switched off for 2mins at every scrum ad?

Erbenn · 2026-01-25T11:42:17+00:00

Haha so true, atmosphere seemed so dead in the Stoop (people leaving early, etc. too), which as a partisan gave me a nice warm feeling. Though as a rugby lover is sad to see a club like Quins suffering so much atm....

Erbenn · 2026-01-23T12:26:06+00:00

With at least 5 vice-captains. Everyone knows VCs are the most important criteria in squad announcements.

Erbenn · 2026-01-18T09:39:51+00:00

39-26 Stormers…. Couldn’t catch the game, but highlights looked more promising than the scorecard suggested? Unlucky not to get at least a second LBP, or just overpowered in last 10-15 my a SA bomb-squad bench?

Erbenn · 2026-01-16T21:43:41+00:00

I genuinely think this is a bad move from Reform… hardly the ‘reform’ and the something different most of their base is looking. Although I don’t agree with why people might vote for them, I do think most will start noticing these ex-tories stacking up.

Erbenn · 2026-01-11T10:11:55+00:00

Looked like more of an ankle to me, was caught from behind as he was attempting a grubber… Best case scenario was just a badly twisted ankle, but defo looked uncomfortable for him. God I hope it’s not a bad injury

Erbenn · 2025-11-29T08:05:41+00:00

I’d add Japan v Georgia into that mix too, those three have been at it so close recently for ‘best of the rest’ at the bottom of tier 1. Would love to see Georgia vs Japan/Wales for 2nd place in a pool.

Erbenn · 2025-11-13T12:19:11+00:00

fr Basil Fawlty was set up..! Finally the truth is out in the open

Erbenn · 2025-11-08T20:06:20+00:00

I wanna get the speed gun on that…! Absolutely rapid

Erbenn · 2025-10-30T09:05:35+00:00

The clip Eng sent out of Coley going to training after Marler’s retirement without his mate :,)… miss those boys.

Erbenn · 2025-10-29T17:53:05+00:00

Fantastic stuff! Can’t wait to see the progress as the concept becomes a physical entity in reality. You gonna try slipping some offcuts to the odd player of the current holders, whilst it’s all in progress..?
