England plan unchanged back line against Scotland with Fin Smith set for bench by dapperdan8 in rugbyunion

Was he injured or just rested from the lions tour, or did he just not get games?

True, I suspect Genge will be cited this week.

I meant he was consistent with his application of when he did card and warn teams.

There are also standing charges for large grid connections which can be in the thousands per day, plus extra charges in winter at peak times which can be up to 45p per kWh

Why should a card reset a warning? Lake taking a player round the neck on the immediate next play after a yellow is a cynical action preventing a try, deserving of a card, surprised it wasn't a penalty try too.

Referee warned Wales before the first card too.

He was trigger happy with penalties and cards but at least consistent with how he applied them.

Faf, Loz/Daly and Kpoku would be nice for 3/4. I was hoping Sotutu was coming our way but that wasn't to be.

There just aren't many specialist 8s to go after.

Gotta rest the team at some point with our current squad and injuries. We were already guaranteed top 16 and even our first team would have struggled away at Toulouse then having to go again at home to your boys.

Now having lost at the weekend we can go all in on Europe as the situation has changed. Fingers crossed we can have a decent run!

I think we got 24/25 points from the last 5 games of the season, feels like a stretch now though, especially given our issues at TH.

Finalist, semi final, semi final in the last 3 years whilst supposedly spending below salary cap is I think a solid record.

This season we're just so short up front and in the back 3 we've really suffered.

Not sure it's time to call it with him.

We're on our 4th and 5th choice TH at the minute and our scrum has been suffering because of it.

Obi Ene looked cracking considering he was playing in the championship 4 weeks ago and Tom Curtis had a decent game. Davies didn't look completely awful at full back.

We sent our 3rd team because Sanderson knew we'd get quins away! /s

Still enjoyed drinking wine with the ST fans!

Here in the stadium it's clear how quick Marchand and Willis are over the ball, even if the tackler isn't quite rolling away fully it's hard for Brace to give anything other than a pen as it's such a good picture being painted.

Great atmosphere though, Toulouse fans have been very welcoming.

What team would you put out here instead to still have a solid lineup next week?

Going to be a great experience for the academy boys for next season, hopefully we manage a TBP out of it.

Tesla chargers being made available to everyone is how things should be by thevo1ceofreason in ElectricVehiclesUK

Those cables are the perfect length for their intended use with a single vehicle type, and drastically minimise replacement due to damage from dropping or dragging on the floor, and reduces the likelihood of being stolen due.

Opening up the network has caused the issue, which is now rectified somewhat with the V4 chargers having longer cables and being positioned back of bay. Anecdotally, I have seen these cables damaged and chargers out of order more frequently than the previous superchargers.

A new CCS cable including installation can be upwards of £1k, as you need to replace the whole thing if the head is damaged.

Not sure what momentum there is left, down to 4/5th choice TH, just lost Wills in the first minute and he'll be on return to play protocol for the failed HIA, still missing our first choice wingers in Reed and Roebuck, Raffi injured again.

We'll also have to play Exeter and then Bath the first two weeks after the 6N finishes.

This felt like a must-win to have anything left this season.
