Barry Badrinath

i like him, i dont mind him at SL level, but it was really noticeable how he got caught flat footed, same with lees he got bounced around a lot in the samoa game when he first came on, then fronted up after that.

surprised at how many people opting for oledzki, he looked pretty lead footed last week, out of all the props that have played he (for me) has been the one that i'd rank last, difficult to seperate all the others.

Foot in touch when he kicked that

And to think, he's not English in the strictest sense, apparently

Whether we win this world Cup or not, we've potentially got a new house hold name

I'll raise you ' a little bit of shape'

Urgh, vintage wane tactics

Thats how it used to be, and how we got to this point, players getting up on instinct and auto pilot

Blame me for this one, I was just saying how few head knocks there had been in round 1

Ffs, how hard is it to listen to what the vr says?

I was gonna say they looked well off how good they've been previously, I know this is only Italy but it's a big improvement. You wonder how samoa will react to last week

They need to do something about the match director, they're literally embarrassing the video refs in front of all the viewers by ignoring them, and adding to the length of time it takes to make decisions

Two spine players on the bench, wane obviously doesn't think much of the French pack

i've complained about this for ages, you would expect the refs and the TV companies to get together, discuss the protocol and have the cameras named Corner 1/2/3/4 sideline A/B Behind the sticks. and be clear about what he wants, cos at the moment, despite the poor communication/response, you're relying on the direct/producer paying attention to the game and thinking. "oh, that other one might be good" when asked by the ref, do we have any other angles. Thats not a great question in itself. i mentioned on here, previously, is one of my bug bears is seeing a video ref, looking at the same two angles, then giving a decision, and then sky showing a completely different angle during the kick that shows the opposite is true eg the ball didn't get down, or a foot in touch. Also there was an incident in a game last year where the VR was all set on giving a no try, and miraculously the sky director started showing an angle from one of the corner cams from the other end of the pitch, that they would never EVER use. All the variables need ironing out, and should have been by now, its been used for nearly 30 years.

thanks ralph, Fijians crying now.

his comments/conversation with jenne brooks yesterday on mark applegarth's appointment were pretty unprofessional

What did he say?

He's totally seen the criticism of last night

He was doing that he does after making a mistake, get in every tackle, go ott and Try to force the ref for a cheap penalty

Leaving drinkwater out for may was a mistake

I expect rhys martin to get at least two games

Thats pretty pathetic

Good lord

Sorry baz, Sam's made a career out of that, don't be surprised now

Awful wasn't it. Also, dave is right, this filming is atrocious, it's almost like they've never seen a game of rl before.
