Yep, another really bad one. Going to be carnage getting the band sorted out after last week.

Steve Borthwick just looks lost.

Sexton hitting the ground running is crucial for you guys, and a succession plan is long over due - but how do you replace a legend. Healey looked raw but class when he played the other week - he has some boot on him. And it is amazing that we convinced him to play for us. He is going to learn international rugby under an amazing 10.

He just didnt see a pathway to Ireland and ye guys pounced. Sexton is still here because nobody is close to being better than him - Ross Byrne is ****e and gets a free ride behind the Leinster pack. The first big test vs La Rochelle and he was anonymous. Crowley could be good as could Frawley at Leinster but we’ll see. The big hope is Sam Prendergast but I don’t think he has it tbh - massive pressure on him already. He was the 10 for u-20s who did back to back grand slams and beaten in WC final

England lose Farrell and Vunipola for first 2 games. And now Anthony Watson out for tournament.

Big weekend for injury avoidance.

Sa v NZ both with strong teams out.

We have gone almost full noise v Georgia #prayforfinn

Less than 40,000 expected at Twickenham this weekend - That's less than half capacity and pretty much unheard of for any game, let alone a WC send off game.

We get called arrogant (mostly by the likes of Zapater ) but we have the good grace to know when we're ****

[Zapater]

What the ****? 3 identical infringements by thr ABs and no yellow card. Doesn't matter if its at the start of the game.

[Buzzo]

Didn’t realise this was tonight!

[Buzzo]

Is it a sell out?

Will be embarrassing if this sells out tonight when tomorrows game is half full.

[Zapater]

Criminal taking no points after that first 10. Finally the ref steps in. Barrett the unlucky one. Should take a few goes at the posts.

To be fair, there would be enough expats there from both countries to sell this out with just the local expat population.

I know which game I’d be going to.

I’m stuck out watching my son training so will hopefully catch the end of this.

[Zapater]

Have a terrible feeling about the rest of this game despite being a converted try up.

England playing in black tonight it seems

62 min first half. So many bad experiences against NZ, I still partially think they're going to come out and blitz us.

[Cormack74]

At 21-0, I don't think so!
