The commentary seem to be at least a second ahead of the action on my ipad. Does Discord have a setting that I need to tweak?

Not the best bit of decision-making there by Back. Maybe better to have taken that one back in.

Must be a distortion in the space time continuum.

We should've given a penalty away for the shove by Cohen, anyway. Bit dodgy.

My one big takeaway from these Sunday evening matches is that Greenwood is even better than I remember.

Bad decision from Cohen. Did the defenders job for him there.

*A* point, not all of them!

*a big lump of a lock.
**Definitely not Tom Curry is mediocre, Ludlam is the second coming, or what you said.

Johnson's qualities were in his positioning and game reading as much as his size. He was always the man there to fall on loose ball or to be there with the hit. He used his weight effectively.

Sorry about this guys - early half time. The fan on my laptop has been playing up and it needs 10 minutes to cool down. Have put it in the freezer - see you all in 10.

Let alone his qualities as captain. Cant the current England setup use clips of Johnson talking to referees?

MSI GE72-2QD. I suspect it's bearings on the GPU that are to blame, but I'm not comfortable inside a laptop and no computer repair places open right now, so stuck with it.

Just resetting up now - back streaming in 2 mins

Wow. That's three misses from Koen so far. Bit lucky from our side.
