He's not a number 15. And Steward's just being wasted on the wing! It's muddled thinking. Really poor game; I'm just waiting for the final whistle so I can go to bed!

This game is reminding me just how good Curry and Underhill are as a pairing at 6 and 7!

Confident start from England. No sign of an emotional hangover from last weekend. Argentina look slightly toothless right now

Is there an overabundance of apostrophes too, that you feel you need to wantonly get rid of some of those? 😉😁🤣😶

The retirement snowball has started. Lawes has announced he's retiring from international rugby after the World Cup. I'd have thought Dan Cole will go too and Johnny May is expected to follow suit. Who else will go in the not too distant future? Lawes might be the hardest to replace, both in terms of skill, rugby intelligence and definitely heart

Yeah. It's so hard. as soon as a player gives away one, the ref's on it for the next and that's the narrative created. If you isolated two or three of them, especially that last, they could have gone for us, but the narrative was already set, so the ref sees what he is expecting to see. I feel for the front row, but what must it be like for Marler and Cole, knowing that before they left the field, they'd controlled it so well and after they went, it all fell apart. You win as a team and lose as a team, but they did not deserve to lose a game based on front row scrum pens.

Absolutely gut-wrenching. I'd said to the other half when Pollard came on that the game could well be decided by one penalty given away at range. As soon as the scrum started faltering, the game was up; SA would just pick up too many penalties and one would be in range.

2 scores now...

SA's kicking game isn't working. We're matching them in the set pieces and winning more turnovers. They're already on Plan B at 10. You never know... But surely SA can't be that bad for another 40 minutes. can they?

I think we should call it done there. We don't need the 77 minutes normally scheduled.

Aha. there we go; question answered! I prefer colour for wildlife, so this is my favourite of the two

Are you able to show the photo in full colour too, or is it shot in black and white and can't be coloured up? Great focusing and composition

Yeah unfortunately these cameras aren't the great thief deterrents they're claimed to be. The tech to hack them has always been there, it's just now it's readily available. Doorbell cameras protect you from opportunists, but anyone who knows what they're doing won't be held up by them for long

I'll offer similar thoughts to @strimmer_13, except I love my Husky! A 24" is a LONG bar. If you have to have that kind of reach a lot, then as Strimmer says, you're looking at a 70cc engine and they weigh more than the moon and will kill your arms after a heavy logging session. It'll also feel quite unwieldy for small stuff. The 130 has a 38cc engine, which is pretty small for anything beyond domestic use. I'd be looking at stepping up to a 50cc. I did have a relatively new 550XP, and Strimmer's right about that age of Husky, they're great when they work - if they work. But the Mk2 is a lot better and that's what I have now. It fires first time every time, whatever the weather and I find it a lot more balanced than the 261 - although that's personal preference and won't be the same for everyone. Mostly I run it with a 15" bar, but it runs an 18" nicely too and can take a 20" and still not feel too much loss of power. If you've been able to do all the jobs you have to do - albeit not terribly efficiently - with a 130, then getting anything bigger than a either the 261 or 550XP mk2 (I think the 261's a 50cc as well) would, to me, seem like overkill for a lot it.

Let's hope so. I think whoever wins this has essentially got a bye to the final. We're not even close to being in this league

Crikey.

What worries me is where this is all going for boxing. Right now it's only been half decent boxers in the ring, but at some point, an unknown with an annihilating hammer of a punch, looking to make a name for himself, is going to take a fight with a Youtuber purely to get the publicity and puts them in the hospital permanently.

So far so good! We're not flamboyant, as such, but we're ticking off the basics well and that's giving us enough points.

That was brutal. WHAT A GAME. Gutted for Ireland

That was a stellar try

Interesting. do you think it was the right call?

I missed the game. What happened with the Argentine non-red/yellow? On the text the comms were saying it should have been a red, but then the ref gave nothing at all?!

What was that call on the card?! I'm baffled.

1 point game now...

Or complete the job when you got off the floor...
