What on earth made me think I could do the ironing while watching the match...?
So much for that experiment, where's my beer?

WTF is Faletau not playing at Number 8 ???!!! Please tell me!!

A good half! I particularly enjoyed the bit when the red team put the egg over the line with the tall sticks on.

More match analysis to come following the 2nd half.

Curry not the best either - Lawes, superb, Itoje again incredible. The Sherriff - well, what can you say along with Wyn..? All having a pop at Williams for not giving the pass to Adams... Welsh, Welsh, Welsh and Welsh I figure - may have missed a pass/try, but we're pretty much winning the match are we not?

Come on for the next 40!!

But by 4 points, while it should be by 18 or more. I hope those missed chances don't come back to bite us. Price and Russell playing well too.

Oh bugger, didn't realise the community shield was on!!! Was quite enjoying the rugby. Listening to you two going on about it all the time, I got a feel for the occasion. Seemed a big deal.

Hmmm, the rugby will have to be on in the background.

Bizzare that French ref's don't understand the rules of the game - thought they just hated the Welsh!! Disgraceful refereeing at times..... Well, a lot

Lions should have won big style - stuffed it, poor tactics, poor ref... simples.

[EDIT] And Will Greenwood is off my Christmas Card list -pr*ck.......

I'll add lost "The Wendyballer" to that as he's just trying to wind me up over the beautiful game (unless reff'd by the bloody French)!!

As for the final standings, Superbru is still busy - I shall be far from the top but will certainly know which of you barstewards bet against the Lions!!

Will post the final table when available, but will post cock all congrats to whichever Forum Member takes first place (you know you bet against the Lions.....)!!

PeteC - with all going on with the British & Irish Lions etc - doesn't seem there's been an HHF league set up for the Rugby Championship(?)...... Too late to organise now - see you in another Pool (?)

[pharvey]

Well, Superbru have pulled the finger out and the Final Table is here...

No idea who Jeff is, so bollocks to him... Oz, well not seen for a while, so the Title goes to "PeteC" - zero congrats, because you bet against us (and you know who the rest of you are....... GOOD GOD LINDOSFAN... I shan't be talking to Dai for a while either......)!!!!

Not too late, another week per what Superbru is saying. Pool set up and those who played the 2019 version will get an automatic invite. Others who want to join go to the below.

There's only 5 in the above pool Pharvey so let it loose to your local and not so local friends if you want to.

Edit: As a side note, the All Blacks looked terrible last night against Australia, in fact Australia looked terrible too until the last 15 minutes when they scored 3 tries! Cold weather, wind etc, but they both looked way out of sync. Hopefully they'll both bounce back next week.

I don't want the honour thank you very much! I'll pass it on to Oz.

Not guilty, your honour! I was merely taking the piss out of myself and how much of the game I understand.
