Heard some funny stories involving Jason Leonard, at Lansdowne road against the Irish he'd gone down injured on the touch line, the physio came on and was tending to him when some Irish bloke in the crowd yelled "Leonard, Leonard yer fat b*stard, it's not a physio you need it's a fecking midwife".Heard a funny one earlier.
I think it was Matt Dawson.
When England were playing the NZ in the late nineties / early two thousands, MD said they were just gawping at the mountains that were the All Blacks.
Just as they were about to kick off, the ref said "May the best team win!"
To which, Jason Leonard said "I do hope not!"

Not much you can say about that, all rather routine.
New Zealand South Africa final it is then.

Why so glooooooooomy old stick?
Kick it, say i. Kick it long; chip it, dink it but above all avoid running at that solid green wall all night long. Quick ball and fast hands to keep the line moving and make sure you have your kicking boots on England. Kick it, by Harry, for St. George, kick it!

Last night's game and today's offering is all a bit of after the Lord mayors show after new Zealand v Ireland and France v south Africa.
Final should be a good game.

We've all got our crosses to bear.
Isn't it wonderful Borthwick getting england to the semis, means he won't be sacked and we can watch his england perform free flowing rugby for years to come.
That was terribly upbeat for me.

It's already confirmed he'd be in the job til the end of his contract in 2027.
A semi-final was the best outcome to the tournament and if they can crack the 'boks line to reach a final against the All Blacks, then all the better. Enjoy the ride, Eeyore, while it lasts.

Ever the optimist. Lol
Till you look at the sides they beat to get there.
I didn't think England would really beat the All Blacks in Yokohama four years ago. But what a game it was!

Not very patriotic are you.
I'll have a tenna on England with you, make it interesting, always back your own that's my motto.
Not sure i'd put my own money on it, though.
Good point, might come across like that but I've supported england all my life.
What has drove me to distraction with england lately is keeping Ben Young's on way past his sell by date, who inevitably kicks the ball away and the up the jumper stuff.
Might be some empty seats in the stands if they them at £500 a pop.

I do see where you're coming from, they are obviously big underdogs but I'll back them anyway.
