No, he really isn't. His bias towards England is embarrassing at times.

Do you have an informed opinion to make or a coherent argument?
Today's event which hinted at that was the referee awarding the second try and the player about to take the conversion when I think the referee happened to catch a glimpse of a replay on the big screen and decided the decision needed to be reviewed by video. YOU'VE ALREADY AWARDED THE TRY. You can't change your decision at a later date. Talk about making the rules up as you go along. |

All presenters whose team is playing are bias They try not to be but on some occasions you are going to talk about your team more than others I bet it is the same with the Scottish Welsh Irish and French presenters

Well done England however don't get too excited that this is the start of a new era of English domination. Ireland are now rebuilding, France are at an all time low and Scotland are moving in the right direction. However Wales have so much breadth and depth of talent at the moment and coupled with the youngsters winning the U20 Grand Slam 'normal service' will resume from next season!

I'll only get really excited in we can pick it up immediately before (as in 2003}. Then you know you're dominant when everyone else is at their peak. For now however I'm more than happy with five games in a row that I've enjoyed watching |

All three final matches were excellent!
A grand slam by the team which is called england was very impressive, given their disappointing recent history. What's the next Rugby Union championship?? |

Whoop whoop back from France having survived the torture of that second half.
Great atmosphere from the French fans, except for the stupid attempts to start a Mexican Wave while Hartley was unconscious (also some booing during the kicks). Well done to England, a nice base to start from for Eddie Jones. |

Georgia beat Romania in front of 53000 supporters.
Germany drew with Spain and will stay in Div 1A. Portugal relegated, Belgium promoted. Italy sigh of relief that 6 nations has no relegation. |

Yeah, I watch nearly every 'major' sport - probably barring baseball - as I tend to gamble on anything and everything. I enjoy most of them but rugby union is just awful.

![]() This year has been fantastic for the England rugby team, to see a talented bunch of individuals finally win something is superb to see. Anyone who thinks that "normal service will resume" is clearly not looking at what is infront of them. England are such a young side still and will only improve. Without doubt the best 2nd row combination in the NH now with Launchbury and Lawes amazing deputies to bring in. Jamie George will be an upgrade over Hartley who I'd expect to see start next year, we've got Brookes who is an upgrade as well as Mr Tuilagi fit and Slade made his come back this weekend. And that's without Nathan Hughes, Same Underhill and Jack Clifford... so England are looking good for the next couple of years. |

Maybe just read up on the laws of the game (not rules), until the conversion is kicked the referee can review a try. It was the assistant in his ear that said to him he had another angle to look at and rightly so Owens said the player (Mako) was behind the ball carrier so not interfering. Owens is a great ref and one of the Northern Hemisphere's only shining lights in the RWC so he knows what he's up to.
Basically take the kick quicker guys
