I trust that you are being a caring and supportive offspring, encouraging positivity for the future. Highlighting the better parts of performances, pointing out where slight improvements can be made. It is the least you can do. Oh, and tell your dad “hahahahahaha!!”
You are definitely not wrong there. I think all the puff had been knocked out of Wales after South Africa. Hopefully it will be a good game tomorrow and the winners will win it because they played the best game on the day and not because of a wrong decision.
Half a sleep to go before the final. Given how my predictions/support has gone so far, I will keep my mouth shut.
Come on England. 8am but sun is over the yard arm somewhere in the world A little Japanese watch today in honour of the host
Bit of history of the risks and death in making early Gilbert footballs William Gilbert (1799–1877) established Gilbert company, the manufacturer of sports equipment, in 1823. Gilbert had a boot and shoemakers shop in the high street next to Rugby School and started making balls for the school out of hand stitched, four-panel, leather casings and pig bladders.[1] It is the shape of the pig's bladder that is reputed to have given the rugby ball its distinctive oval shape although balls of those days were more plum shaped than oval. The balls varied in size in the beginning depending upon how large the pig's bladder was and in those early days William's nephew James who was famed for his extraordinary lung power,[2] inflated the balls. It was not a job that was sought after, the pig's bladder would be blown up while still in its very smelly ‘green state’, solely by lungpower, down the stem of a clay pipe which was inserted into the opening of the bladder.[2] If the pig was diseased, it was possible to develop lung diseases from blowing up the balls. The wife of Richard Lindon, another man who also made balls for Rugby School, died from an infection caught from an infected pigs bladder. This spurred Lindon in the mid-1860s to pioneer the "rubber bladder", the Brass Hand pump inflator and finally the advent of shape standardisation.[2]
Money and lots of it...and private schools don’t equal rugby supremacy. fantastic to see the Boks out class England. The English tabloids will be chewing on cold vomit for days
It doesn't matter what the thread. There is always a wanker who contributes fuck all to the discussion and then comes in at the end gloating. Well played sir. Congratulations. You are that wanker.
Great forwards game. The scrums set the tone for the game. Would have been happy with a smaller win as it was close. Could have gone either way at the drop of a hat.
