As James Lovelock supports internet use, that's good enough for me.
On a day I read about the danger the oceans might bring and the collapsing Mont Blanc glacier, and the rich nations do next to nothing about climate change. Who cares about the likes of Fiji, Samoa and Tonga. Their players already go overseas if they can.

Do you think you could take your environmental stuff onto a different thread please and leave this for people to talk about the Rugby World of which you have already stated you have zero interest in
 
Be interesting to see if reffing improves, now world rugby have criticised the officiating so far.
The offside line may even be implemented at rucks, tackles and defensive lines.
That’d make a refreshing change!

you never know they might even start not allowing forward passes in NZ games. Nah thats just being silly.............
 
Enjoyed that England performance, some great play against weak opposition, but still a good confidence booster.

I trust you realise that the 'forward pass' rule changed/was clarified a little while ago - actually allowing the ball to go foward relative to the ground, provided the player did not pass the ball forward! Watch his vid for clarification.

yes i understand the forward pass rule, dont agree with it but understand it. that reduces the ones the ABs get away with by about 20% lol
 
I am happy enough so far with England. 2 expected bonus point wins, everyone has had a decent amount of game time and, most important, no injuries. Need to step up a bit now but I think quite a few mistakes have come from being over adventurous against weaker opposition and we will tighten up against stronger opposition in the next 2 matches. Decent 9 day break now as well.

Nearly 3 mins for a scrum is a joke.
The clock should be stopped when the decisions is made and restarted when the ball is back in play

True, but when all the big teams do it all the time, it’s only fair that an underdog gets to do it once in a while. It would be harsh to conclude that Japan didn’t get a fair win because of that (not that I’m suggesting that you are saying that)

I should’ve said that the clock should be stopped in all games to stop tactical time wasting
