And if the manager of the shop for the last 2 years says the reason it’s shit is that they hired the wrong staff but kept them for two years anyway, but they will now hire different staff to do the exact same thing.

And they keep telling Ealing trailfinders that they can’t be promoted as they stadium isn’t big enough.

I think Townsend and other coach’s too focus on creating the chances. But to get to be at the very top it is converting the 2 or 3 chances you get in a top tier international.

Very much this. Top nations convert those chances.

He has brought players through and has evolved how we play. There are weaknesses in the front row and hooker that are killers. That is partly selection but also bad player development over a decade.

Saw Healy at the bath game. Did not look right at all. So might need to look further.

On the plus side Muncaster and others always look good.

A few kicks going over would have helped too.

Agree with your thread. The extension is baffling. If this was football the fans would be calling to sack the board.

On player mindset, we turned over Leinster lineout, then rather than someone making a call or running it in they threw it back 30 metres in a panic. Not what confident teams do.

This weekend is causing heavy damage to my Superbru predictor based on past form and home advantage.

At the end of the match. Some of the players started doing some β€˜extras’ or warm down running across the width of the pitch. They sort of ambled half way and then stopped. Said everything that needed to be said.

I’d give anything for a Mike Blair, we have no chance but are going to enjoy the fight feeling.

Zero attacking plan. I can’t imagine any other team having a β€˜Duhan’ and not using them for an attacking move once in a game.

Yep, why not score a goal from your own half in the 98th minute?

Quick thread on the BBC and the political and societal significance of recent developments:

One of the main reasons the UK has historically been so much less polarised than the US, is that Britain has a shared source of information, consumed and trusted by most people regardless of their politics.

Given we only have two pro teams, the summer tour and autumn out of test window games are basically lil having a Scottish third team.

Also we don’t get invited to play the tier 1 tours…I assume.

The borough I am in is 25 times larger than my parents home town - the biggest town in Argyll & Bute, area 7,000 square km. They have a weekly newspaper and we don’t.

The population of A&B could fit on the Elizabeth line 10 times.

Doesn’t 360 mean that they end up right back where they started?

That big news I teased yesterday?

I've written a book!

Attacking the Space: Inside Rugby's Tactical and Data Revolution is the book I wanted to read as a rugby obsessive kid. It will be released on the 29th January 2026, the pre-order link is:

And also no matter what the situation, the SRU could have sorting things earlier. Or if there is a problem, explained it fully and clearly to the players and to the media. So it’s a fail all around. Do have a whole press day,during the World Cup and not cover the women in the World Cup says it all.

Based on the interview with the SRU CEO, my understanding is that all the players have Scotland team central contracts but they don’t all have club contracts with PWR clubs. It really wasn’t clear. And the SRU could have offered them Celtic Challenge contracts as back ups.

When wales implode, opportunity for Ayr to join the URC. Worth it to see Siya Kolisi visit the Burns museum on an away trip with the ash arks.

We’re looking for fairness from our media in a multi party system. It’s not just 2 parties anymore. 6 parties are now serious players. Stop framing it as a simple choice. Listen to us @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social @skynewsrss.bsky.social @itvnews.bsky.social petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...
