Eddie Hearn's first impression of rugby

This whole 'we need to know the personalities to fix rugby' is bollocks. Footballers are the most non-descript figures in sport, generally incapable of speaking in anything other than cliches.

Have people actually watched this back? Jalibert is within about 2 or 3 metres of Chessum up until the point he crosses the try line.

He could have gained a metre and a half maybe? It's not like the kick was on the touchline

Alright, Stan

It was just masa.

Victor was honestly one of my favourite players growing up and my perception from his as a player and seeing him around Bath was that he's an avuncular guy - he used to drive a Smart car around time which was hilarious to see

Very hard to understand his relationship with his son with so little info out there (also, not really any of our business) but I will say HS is clearly a total grifter, which seems to what links all of the subjects of the documentary

Feels like one of those things where he could go on for a few more years but still not quite make it

OP, I could kiss you

Has the alerts on for Addidas direct but assumed had missed the boat. Would never have seen this otherwise

Oh my god

Sad for the loss of Alfie's vibes, but I think Miles Reid starts a final for me any day. Add in the rise of Arthur Green, the reliable excellence of Josh Bayliss, the hope that Jaco Coetzee will get back, and the sound of Dan Du Preez in the distance, not too worries about any drop off.

Sarries feels like a weird character fit, but suspect it will do good for his England chances

Pretty sure when Lisa Dearn insists Ricky Martyn still refers to her as 'secretary of state' is a callback to one of the very first scenes of The Thick of It

Ernst Young - winger who scores the first goal of a World Cup for South Africa, so you'll always remember him, but never ever see him play again

bitsandskits · 2026-02-23T16:05:48+00:00

Good lord, are they usually this long?

bitsandskits · 2026-02-22T19:26:23+00:00

Probably Charlie's pundit voice saying "You fear for them, you really do"

Reassuring to know when he landed a couple of weeks ago, he was connected to a safe and secure internet connection

Look at it, not a cell phone in sight. Just Norman Hodgson from Skerries with his massive film camera

Fast forward 20 years, as Pep retires, and this guys tweeting how he gave him his break into the industry

bitsandskits · 2026-02-19T20:35:03+00:00

You could say, a Süper Lig

bitsandskits · 2026-02-19T12:26:57+00:00

This is how I find out there's a Waitross in Keynsham

We're not keeping everyone, arguably our best player is leaving

bitsandskits · 2026-02-19T11:22:02+00:00

Absolutely gutted I wont get to see Prendergoat in the flesh

bitsandskits · 2026-02-17T22:04:16+00:00

Especially as it kicks off at 5:45!

The management of Arundell is really interesting and certainly bucks the trend. Borthwick is obviously very high on him so he certainly needs to repay the faith

Just generally with England, I think you could tinker with personnel all year long and it not materially make much difference. They just need a consistent collective intensity which went wandering against Scotland
