Thank God you finally found something to disapprove of.

Rolled shoulder of lamb, roasted with a coating of maple syrup, tomato and habanero chutney, Angostura lemon bitters, rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper. Served with mashed potato and steamed broccoli and runner beans. Satisfying.

Two matches of great entertainment. A brilliant comeback by England to get within a single point, but then the World Champions had enough at the death.

What a kick in the guts! France score a breakaway try.

England pulling it back! 24:27 with 20 minutes to go.

You're right, this has been a fiasco across both tests. No match report on the BBC RL page for the first test, either, last time I looked. The coverage itself - excellent!

England 6:21 France at half time.

England 6:12 France

6 all now. A very physical contest, but France look so quick and dangerous.

England have the lead for the first time in the series. 6:0

That's a good clean sounding of the Last Post.

Just chilling out before the Wheelchair Rugby begins.

Few people reel off anecdotes as effortlessly as Peter O'Toole.

It looks like a good venue. I home they put down roots there. Might be a potential venue for the Summer Bash, too.

There was an England Knight v France Espoirs match yesterday. For those of you who, like me, completely missed it...

What, while this exists? Okay, yes, you have a point.

Mafalda corta pasta, with smoked sprats, garlic, mushrooms, chives, parsley and lemon zest in a cream sauce. Tasty, but a tiny bit over-salted this time. Lesson learned.

I think it looks great! I'm less sure that it looks like Hull FC.

Let's see if we can have a single thread for player movements ahead of next season, instead of it all being fragmented. It works on TRL's Australian RL forum, after all. I've just seen the announcements from Wigan that they have signed Cade Cust (halfback). This probably means they won't be going after Jacob Miller, after all. Already announced: Abbas Miski, Patrick Mago and Kaide Ellis.

"Wheelchair Rugby" is a different sport, played in the Paralympics. It isn't much like Rugby of either code. Rebranding Wheelchair RL to that would not be permitted.
