Ian Balshaw went to my school, his dad is the caretaker there and I know him personally. Will Greenwood went to my school, his mums a maths teacher there and taught me for two years and Bracken went to my school as well.

Bits and pieces. I wasnt too impressed, but they didnt really need to step their game up from anymore than second gear to be honest to beat Italy.

You manage to bring Stonyhurst into every conversation.

They were below par, but the conditions were awful.

Italy have improved over the last couple of years, but the class difference was still evident.

I was dissapointed with Geordan Murphy, but such a swift comeback from such a devastating injury can be comprehension.

Wow that's pretty impressive. Thanks for the link

Ah, your just jelous. and I didnt mention it as such.

Your welcome. Now, just hone your culinary and sewing skills like you were the other day and you shall make a good wife

My friend's rugby club is playing Stonyhurst Y11s today.

Good for them. They will get a good whipping

The normal season has finnished now, there are no more serious games, its what we refer to as '7's season'.

Now that's not very nice is it?

Although I accept I am multi-talented

Toffs vs Burnley Wood.

Toffs will win, but will also come off the most injured. I have seen Burnley Wood's tactics. It involves kicking and punching.

Oh Miss Sunshine. It was nothing but a compliment. Words of encouragement

However sexist it may be, cooking is one of the most attractive aspects to a man for a potential life partner. Ok, sewing isnt, but as you say yourself, your quite good at that, so its just a bonus

You have obviously never seen Stonyhurst play then. That is the basis of their forward play. Trust me, it will be the Burnley team who comes out the worst. Stonyhurst are country renowned for having a dirty pack.

Lol, burnley wood. My mother teachers at Rose-wood school.

Again, another dire performane by England. My opinion of Woodward has started to wain recently. I had respect for him in the past but his current selection policies and tactics are dreadful.

He either gets himself a rugby league coach to teach the players how to actually attack and release Englands strike players or England go on a downward spiral as teams are now starting to catch up with Englands superior fitness and rugby league style defence. Come the next world cup all the top teams will have rock solid defences, its the team that takes on a rugby league or rugby league style attack which will lead the way. I just hope for god Woodward acts now.

Hmm, we shall see. I wonder which makes an 'arder (as we say in Lancashire) person. A public school or a council estate?

Dawson went to my school and is a much better scrum half than Bracken

Robinson is no good as a full back or a centre in my opinion - Josh Lewsey is undoubtedly a better player there. I felt that the return of Tindall helped to strengthen the centre though with Greenwood getting more of a showing....England's front row seems to be disappointing so far...Thompson is not the world's best hooker as is commonly believed by any means.....I would say that title would have gone to Keith Wood....I think tatics seems to be the main problem though....despite the No. 10's (forgot his name) good set piece kicking, the in-play kicking seemed to be lacking...England's fitness certainly won the day though as Wales showed signs of tiring

Rugby League is for girlies I think the pack has to be sorted as there seems to be a bit of a void without Johnson
