Agreed... But on the other hand this is a young squad in transition, with only 4 games under the new boss. We have won every game so far, have the best attack, best defence and we've just become the first team to win the 6 nations with a game to spare. Clearly lots to work on before we worry NZ, but if we can do all the above at this stage and have an understanding about where we need to improve, then I can't help but feel confident for the future.

Completely agree. Discipline has been a major problem for a long time, we ALWAYS give away too many stupid penalties. We could go a long way towards sorting out your 3rd 'D' by starting Danny Care in place of Youngs. Youngs slows down every attack and doesn't see Ford screaming for the ball until the opportunity is missed. I see Manu is in the training squad. I can't see him playing (maybe last 20?), but he gives the Welsh something else to think about.

Another good day for England. Finely balanced when we went 5 down but an excellent last session. Amla looks lost as captain.

Casino Royale was excellent. Spectre felt like I was watching the longest advert I'd ever seen. Not because of the product placements, just the feel of the film. There was a bond themed martini ad before the film started (bond escaping from bad guys, hot girl accidentally swept along while water skiing, etc), which was just making fun of all old the bond clichés. Right from the very first scene the film felt just like that martini ad.

Watched Spectre last weekend, thought it was terrible.

He's just let himself and the team down massively. They should all be busting their guts to try to avoid the whitewash and he's just made things even harder.

Another average performance from the England attack. I bet youvraj would have had them all out at least 10 mins earlier. Good decision not to enforce the follow on. This is still a batting wicket. We should be posting a lead well in advance of 500 with a good 2 days to get them out.

Very sad news. The forum will be a poorer place without him.

Agreed. In isolation, with a different title, that film might have been just about alright. As it is, it completely missed the entire point of the book and replaced it with Will Smith and a hand grenade.

Is the ai actually real this year? Completely ruined the game for me last year, once I realised that I was racing against the clock and not the other cars on the track

Did anyone see the Panorama or similar programme a few months back about the effective slave labour of the Indian workforce in Dubai? One of the sites (and labour camps) shown was for the First Group and I they showed that Owen video against the reality of life for the workers there.

Good but it's very story driven so it isn't shouting at me to keep replaying it now that I've played through 1.5 times. The story is pretty long though, made up of several very long 'levels'. You get to choose the order that you do each part of the story in and there are a few optional extras (hidden bosses etc) but thats about it as far as freedom goes. Made by Bioware and does feel quite a lot like a fantasy version of Mass Effect.

Benni is overweight and unfit and has been since the beginning of last season. All players rely on their fitness. If he was fitter he would be able to run faster and for longer and would be a more effective player. He hasn't spent his whole career ambling around at walking pace, he used to be pretty quick.

Usually, if we get a penalty.
