Townsend's so non-committal on the team that it'd be better to just have him say Scotland are loving awful, even to just give them some motivation to prove them wrong.

Other than the try down the wing, England have looked a bit ordinary. Tonga are playing really well and closing down a lot of space quickly. This is a surprisingly good game.

Aramoro posted:Tonga are just showing slight inexperience, they're turning Genge inside out in the scrum, there are penalties there for them. Genge is good in the loose, nice passing but his scrummaging is pretty poor. Glasgow absolutely bodied him when they played Leicester a few years ago.

After crushing Scotland last year, has the sleeping giant of rugby started to awaken? Find out tomorrow as the USA Eagles take on England. In the build up, Eddie Jones described the Eagles as 15 Donald Trumps which if accurate means that despite all the odds and intelligence, the USA will somehow win. The Eagles have gone for experienced players such as Blaine Scully and youth in 19 year old David Ainuu, the second youngest front row player in RWC history. Backed by the power and scoring acumen of Joe Taufete'e at hooker and the ever dependable AJ MacGinty at 10, the Eagles have a shot at delivering FREEDOM  (from the RWC quarter finals) to the relatively second string but strong side put out by England. USA Eagles 1. David Ainuu 2. Joe Taufete'e 3. Titi Lamositele 4. Ben Landry 5. Nick Civetta 6.Tony Lamborn 7. John Quill 8. Cam Dolan 9. Shaun Davies 10. AJ MacGinty 11. Martin Iosefo 12. Paul Lasike 13. Marcel Brache 14. Blaine Scully (captain) 15. Will Hooley England 1. Joe Marler 2. Luke Cowan-Dickie 3. Dan Cole 4. Joe Launchbury 5. George Kruis 6. Tom Curry 7. Lewis Ludlam 8.

Just popping in to say Sir Clive's thermonuclear take on Hodge getting a three week ban of a shoulder charge to the head of a player is yet another reason he should never be on tv again. Also Polledri looks excellent, even against a weak Canadian side. Italy are, sadly, just a better team without Parisse anymore.

Absolutely right, former players and coaches that frankly, haven't got a clue about the seriousness of concussion and CTE need to just sit back and shut the gently caress up. The whole "back in my day" and "game's gone soft" parade of wankers need to look at guys like John Shaw, who had a cut-out moment in an interview with John Beattie due to concussion or the stream of players retiring at 26, 27, 28 from concussion symptoms.

Faimaono-Sapolu is a low-key anti-semite and straight up transphobe. The guy is a turbocunt. He very recently liked a post on twitter about how the jews run South Africa and sanctioned apartheid to get the diamonds.

Potentially though there are laws covering it at the moment (open hand to face only, never closed fist) but I wouldn't be surprised if there were changes made.

Mitigating circumstances can certainly be brought up by the ref to lower a sanction, for example if a player ducks or slips at the moment of a tackle and they get hit in the head, the ref may deem it to just be a penalty instead of yellow card worthy and so on. There's a little wiggle room but with head contact they're more likely to stick to the letter of the law.
