Wales lost. 82.27

Congrats England on getting the draw.

None of these three teams played convincingly for 80 minutes in any of their matches.

I agree, England have a number of problems to fix before the Autumn Internationals.

Deary me. One thing is evident from all of this, England fans have some serious issues!

Whoever went first picked the biggest and most athletic kid. Then the other would choose the next best option. Then choices would be made until you got to the fat, wheezy kid with a note from home, the sci-fi weedy guy who put his arm like a tea pot handle and the other one looking at his nails so as not to get picked.

Now the rankings are similar. You always have your automatic picks. I'll have NZ. Ok I'll have South Africa. I'll have Australia, OK I'll have France. Ok I'll have England, Ok I'll have Wales. Really up to now everyone's pretty happy with their picks. It doesn't make much of a difference. It's when you get down to the lesser of many evils picks that you notice the difference.

All the girls and glory went to the top ranked sides. The others fought for the scraps with varying degrees of success. These are bitter truths you just had to swallow when you were ranked lower down. All you could hope for was growth spurts or trying to attract girls with words and not muscles.

Hence why you and I are in Europe eh Kia? Hug

Learning other lingos was a big help, and speaking our own that mumbled monotone of ours actually was endearing to the girls here!

Did you do the old plum, pudd between the captains to sort out who got the first pick?

But not anger issues.

Paper, rock, scissors was the norm for me Disney. Pray do tell what is old plum pudd apart from a Christmas pudding sitting around in May?

Actually I got the growth spurt around 15 so that helped. But being a foreigner sure does help with the ladies. Add that with early bumblings in a language and lock it in Eddie. I remember the first weekend in Madrid I said Sorry, I'm leaving. Well that's what I wanted to say but ended up saying, lo siento estoy salido. (Sorry, I'm horny). Ended up staying... the night!

What a stupid thing to say. You know that Wayne Barnes didn't see the incident and that it was Dave Pearson, who did see it, who recommended a yellow card.

If you're going to blame officials, the least you can do is blame the right one!

Why do threads about England always end up being threads about Wales..?

Just curious.

its the rankings, England are where Wales were and England are not better where they are, than where they were and Wales, who are better than England, are still better but they are now where England were and not where they used to be which is where England now are and which is, obviously, better than Wales
