For once I agreed with Flatman on Friday night.
He compared Arundell to Telea in the semi final as a winger who went looking for work and made a difference to NZ attacking options. 
Arundell needs to play as much 6 nations games as possible next year, he could be the game breaker you've been looking for.

I think the 'current plan' needs needs stowing in the 2003 holdall. We don't have a pack like SA so we might as well stop trying to ape them. The Kiwis were the better side in the final and they have shown a blueprint for beating the 'power' sides, by simply moving them around, but to do that, you must put the ball through hands. Players like Arundell and Cadan Murphy need to be in our side, otherwise we have no attacking threat and rely on kicking a few pens and defending like maniacs. That's not a sensible plot.

It's all very sad.
Innocent people die and Governments don't care. 
Dread to think what Gaza looks like tomorrow  
 
 
 

Thanks @CWC1983 I appreciate your kind words. Not many of them about these days on here or in real life.
Especially when so many have the choice. You don’t seem to post very often either, and it’s pretty sad a lot of good people (Rams not Sheep) have chosen to leave this forum.
 
It won’t be long before I’m accused of having red hair and supporting the team I love, and called various names for doing so, by angry strangers that choose to type that I’m the one typing “nonsense” or the like, on here. But I’m bald as a coot (Paul Coutts pun!)
 
Maybe it’s the fast “McDonalds” throw away society, that are very quick to criticise, but too lazy to put their own rubbish in the bin, when their table is only several yards away from the bin, that we are surrounded by, yeah the chicken nuggets, the zombie nation.
Anyway the sky is blue this morning, I’m wearing my new blue 1975 Derby County away shirt, and I’m wearing it with pride, I don’t just wear any of my DCFC shirts just when we are winning or on our way to Wembley, I wear in any kind of weather, and over land and sea always loving DCFC. 🐏
Right time for a nice early morning stroll down to the river you saw on the BBC News. You can be active with the activists or stay sleeping with the sleepers. If I don’t post ever again on here, it won’t be because I’ve been swept away by others, it won’t be because I’ve followed other sheep into the river, it will be because I’m a Ram 🐏 and I won’t let the river or the bleeping of a few sheep 🐑 drown me.
Up Paul Warne
Up David Clowes
Up Stephen Pearce
Up James Collins
Up The Rams 🐏 

 
 

Saw the Inverurie bit on the news earlier. Water levels unreal. Look after yourself min. 
 

Didn't get anywhere near scoring a try really.
The only close thing we had, George messed up the lineout throw.
Small margins. Great effort, but the best teams probably made it to the final.
 

Ireland v Nz isnt disappointing. 
Fancy Ireland to win, just. 
Bought tickets for Wales v Scotland today.
Nothing quite like a day out in Cardiff during the 6 nations. 

Well, that was a bloody good game, the kind of game that could get the "never watched, never cared" types out of their seats.
I'll freely admit rugby is probably a second tier fandom for me but when it's good it's very good.
Good luck to NZ, hope they win the whole thing.

I amused that you think this 39 billion of infrastructure spending will actually happen. There are no plans, it was a hastily cobbled together list because a rival leaked the HS2 decision. 

Agree, the SA defence was tremendous. 
Only crumb of comfort for Scotland is that SA play Ireland the week before the Scotland game and they may knock seven bells out of each other.....
 

I think that's a foregone conclusion 😂

South Africa having the best of the first half but not much to show for it on the scoreboard at 6-3.
 

Good effort from England tonight. That performance has been long overdue. 👏 
Massive missed opportunity for the Argies. 
I thought the Aussies looked decent, and perhaps Ireland have timed their pre world cup preparations better than I thought by regarding the Romania game as a warm up. 
As for tomorrow, I'd take the boks to win by +15 points, and Wales to beat Fiji. 

I fell into the trap and watched them out of order.
As @Comrade 86 says above those are thr release dates. 
If it helps, series 1 and 2 are called Top boy- summerhouse. I think channel 4 produced them.
Netflix used to have them listed separately from their own production of Top boy, series 3 to 5, I'd like to think they are all under the 1 banner nowadays.

I think this just showed the levels. It was the equivalent of a League Two side playing at home to a top 10 PL side. 

Cheer up chippy, your lot are flying!
He should have got a ban but this has happened to England before now. I could cite a lot of examples that show we're not the Rugby Illuminati, I can assure you. Also, rescinding the ban punishes us more than leaving it place. He's bulked up even more this season and now runs like a farmer carrying two urns of milk. It actually looks like it's hurting him which given the attritional nature of his game, would not be a surprise. Sadly, Smith still looks a little lightweight against teams looking to exploit his channel, so the obvious pick would be Ford. 
So..... moan all you like about Farrell, but remember you could be an England fan and that's a whole lot worse place to be right now! 😋

That Owen Farrell decision. What a load of rubbish. 
Puts a bit of a cloud over the start of the RWC for me. 
Top tier teams being treated diferantly to tier 2 teams? 

Late to the party on this one but thoroughly enjoying The Newsroom.
Jeff Daniels is the TV news anchor who used to go out with Emily Mortimer as his producer. Verbal sparks fly between them but they make a great team.
Sam Waterstone is the supportive boss and Dev Patel probably the best known of the news writers.
Alison Pill also excellent as the keen young journalist paired with the wrong guy, whilst the right guy is in front of her face.
Witty, clever and thoroughly enjoyable.

I loved the Foos. They seemed to have a different energy, they’ve changed a few sections of songs which really showcases Josh’s drumming. Nate looked more animated than I’ve seen him before as well. And so lovely to see Violet singing with her Dad.
I watched the Arctic Monkeys’ set kind of waiting for the penny to drop. I absolutely loved their first album, I think it’s the best debut album I’ve ever heard, but nothing since then has really moved me. I have to say, I still don’t get it. They’re super talented and Alex Turner has a hell of a lot of charisma (even though he’s not that chatty), but their music doesn’t do it for me. It hasn’t got enough b*******, for want of a better word, compared to the first album. 

Yeah, very uncomfortable. Couldn't even put his earpiece in.  Not sure he's been best advised stress wise, particularly doing another stint later on . 

You have whetted my appetite as Gomorrah is my all time favorite series bar none.
