Dugtrio, I choose you!

And yet Jesse Kriel is free to headbutt people with impunity.

If England are sandbagging, every single person involved needs an Oscar. In fact, chuck in the Emmy, Grammy and Tony as well and EGOT the lot of them.

It's a correct flavour, but I wouldn't go as far as to use the definite article.

Fordy is right to look nervous. Argentina, Japan, England is my bet.

Yep, my TV is the chattiest device on my network according to PiHole. Blocked all the telemetry and it still works fine.

Was at Twickenham for that shambles today. Have to fly to Cyprus for a work course on Monday. Might try to work in a barbecue in the meantime.

Congrats to Fiji, they deserved the win.

Started OK but the sudden bout of weather seemed to put the brakes on any attack we had. And then it all fell apart. Asleep defensively and we seem to have forgotten how to deal with a wet ball, which is odd given the summer we've had. Fiji played well but we gave them the game. Can't even blame the ref, Peyper was fair.

Smith injected a bit of energy when he came on. Will give him that much.

I just don't know what's going wrong. Players that have been playing together for years suddenly have no chemistry, and look clueless. When we did have possession, the attack was completely one dimensional (after the weather) with Smith being the only person to attempt anything beyond passing it down the line.

Argentina and Japan are rubbing their hands together.

Yup, agree on England and Fiji. It's a stronger England side than you'd usually see starting against Fiji, hopefully both sides put up a fight.

Just arrived at Twickenham after an odyssey across London due to train strikes. Not been to a "big" game for years and really looking forward to it.

Not really watched England since the 6N, find it too depressing. Hoping for a decent performance and proper game today. Hopefully Fiji are getting optimistic.

Nonsense is right. He may not be a dirty player, but then there's a fair weight of documentary evidence that suggests he's simply incapable of playing professional rugby to the standard required of him.

Done! Thank you for posting that.
