It was difficult to find a pub showing the game on Saturday and it will be worse for next few weeks as the Premiership Wendyball
will no doubt be shown at the same time.

Saying that if England can't even score a try against a poor, inexperienced Wales what's the point of watching?

Social club in village last year were quoted ?500 to show autumn intls (Amazon via sky box)
 For the few extra non regulars it would bring in ,deemed not economic. Fortunately, in the end, chairman managed to get a letter covering him from Amazon to say he could use his own personal account. But can see why pubs ( unless they already have a big rugby connection) wouldn?t be interested

This is the downside of Amazon- pubs already have Sky or Sky + BT for soccer, so switching a few screens to rugby not an issue. If it requires a different license, the games will drop off public view.

Highlight of the England game so far: Ben Earl dropping to his knees, screeching in celebration.

What for, a try? Nope, an Irish line-out not thrown straight. Pathetic.

Billy could be replaced a pie and it won't make much difference, except that the pie would be eaten by Jamie George and celebrated in the usual estate agent way.

Clive Woodward was particularly scathing about that, saying that the focus should be on looking for a quick restart to gain an advantage. It seems obvious.

If I were Jack, I'd bugger off now. What has Borthwick got against him?

Final send off before the World Cup this weekend and Twickenham will be half empty with the top tier closed. Everything is fine?
