Same for England's last try maybe ? It's having the ball under control I think.


But they were always going to give both.

I doubt that's the case but in a WC year experience will count for a lot. Also with rugby being so attritional there's always going to be injuries.

?England are making a significant mistake by travelling today, coming through Newport at about five o?clock is probably not the best thing to be doing, going through the Brynglas tunnels,? said Gatland. ?There?s a good chance tractors and buses will hold them up. That?s going to be an experience for them.?


.... Gatland telling the tractor squad to zero in.

Agree - in fact I would go 70-30 on Ireland winning and the same (or more) the other way on England-Scotland. In a strange position of wanting England to win the 6N but being happy for Wales to get the Slam, so be happy either way!

Jeremy Guscott thought Wales lost their concentration at halftime maybe they thought they had it in the bag (Wales very rarely put their foot down when on top).


The WRU also (with extremely brilliant timing) announced the merger of the Ospreys and the Scarlets last week - then rolled back on it (or something else happened - it's always murky down in Welsh rugby politics). Shouldn't have affected Wales but you just never know - Ken Owens (the hooker) was definitely talking a lot about it during the week.

Just an example of the current Welsh Rugby politics - statement from the Ospreys on Sunday.


?The tedious narrative that the Ospreys are somehow facing an impending financial challenge is not only entirely false, but malicious propaganda by those for whom the demise of the Ospreys would be a twisted convenience.?

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.

      Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.

      Yes thanks that's exactly the choices I get.  I will block and if somehow they find a way back I'll report.
