    It's going to be massive. Both teams very physical but trying to play positive too.

    Jones seems to have us playing at our full potential now. 7/7 so far including two over Wales and a win away in Australia. Perfect start for him.

    England Saxons are playing South Africa A, lovely try by Rokodoguni who's unlucky not to be with the senior team imo.

    This could be massive and effect a range of sports -

    Wooooo hoooooo that's the series won 2-0 up. Absolutely monster defense that's just like a white wall! Haskell probably MOM again, what a turn around Eddie Jones has done on him, wouldn't have had him in the 23 never mind 15 when the squad was selected. Great stuff

    Also up to number 2 in the world rankings, now just need to catch the All Blacks :eek:

    Great display. Forget the actual results I think it's most impressive how the team improves and adapts from game to game.

    I'm exhausted. I'm actually a rugby fan and coach first and foremost so I'm absolutely delighted.

    217 tackles to 45. Unreal defence. 2nd in the world now. Would take a big loss next week to lose 2nd too. Delighted.

    Never would have thought that before the tour started but great stuff. Just need to tighten up the defense though leaking 40 points is too much but overal can't complain. 3-0 win down under, doesn't get much better than that for England Rugby :)

    I think the team was pretty tired today after a long season. Didn't have the same intensity but they still were comfortable for the large majority of the game.

    I've not had much interest in the Olympics for a long time. In recent years I keep hearing people say the 100 metres is the blue ribbon event. It always used to be the 1500 metres. Having watched the 1500 final last night, for me, it still is.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm guessing you're referring to the Coe, Cram and Ovett period of domination? I must agree though, as I young lad growing up you would hear about those three often where as the 100metres didn't really get going until a bit later when Carl Lewis was the man. I mean can't really recall the hysteria about Alan Wells winning in 84 was it?

    I wasn't meaning to say it's no big thing winning the 100 (of course). But the real drama and magic was always about the 1500 metres (and its equivalent the mile). There was no blink and you missed it as in the 100, nor time to pop out to make a cuppa or have a ****** (cigarette) out back during the 5,000 or 10,000 ,until the race developed.

    I thought our boy Joe Joyce was unlucky not to win gold in the Super heavyweight boxing final, but couldn't believe that no one seems to have told him how to get leverage into his punches.

    With Tyson Fury seemingly in a drug induced downward spiral, there appears to be a strong chance that Anthony Joshua might step in for a shot at the title, now that Fury says he is retired. Even with Klitschko on the way down Joshua would have been better off, though, getting a couple more challenging fights in against solid, durable opposition.

    Correction - The pillock has retracted his retirement claim now but he'll presumably be stripped anyway.
