I think that is harsh on Tindall - rather him than Briscoe

Sad as it is (as it is for when anyone dies, but more so those that go before their time) she was 96, and I'm not someone who agrees with having a Monarchy. Some people can watch the rugby tonight, others can watch queen montages (while pretending to not keep up with the rugby score).

I really hope Tindall can kick on but I'd say barring a couple of massive defensive misreads by Briscoe v catalan he's shown up more consistently than tindal who's especially looked shakey bringing the ball away.

All irrelevant now anyway with Martin suspended and they'll both play now.

That is the problem with Briscoe his reading of defense is appalling and it will cost his team mates. The only way we win is to get into their forwards and rile them to a point of them losing their cool. I tend to agree with you Martin is a key miss.

When we played Wigan, we had one agenda, shut down French and Field and they have no strike. Marshall aside.

Tonight, we need to make Tomkins turnaround alot. And absolutely smash Kasiano every time he gets the ball. And, just man mark Yaha.

Problem is neither of our wingers are good at reading the attack - can see Yaha having a field day

He did seem to fix this up a bit after his errors and to be fair handley for all his strengths is a bit of a liability in that area too. I just think Briscoe will offer better yardage carries than tindal (unless he's worked on that) and we're going to need some momentum in that regard. Anyway they're both playing so fingers crossed they can fix up those areas

I agree with that - hopefully the lads can make the sum greater than the sum of its parts.

Id like to think weve done some prep on the last game and how much space we gave Yaha. Give Briscoe a top hat and he might aswell have been opening the door for him.

God rest the Queen and can see your point however it should be said that we are cancelling sport to allow people ro mourn however the ballet and theatre goes ahead thats hard to fathom!

Let's hope Sky don't pull the plug.

Doubt it they have nothing else to show with golf cricket and football all cancelled.

Look I am not. Saying cancel everything, although many events such as the Mercury Music Awards and the last night at the Proms have so it’s not just sporting events being cancelled . The vast majority of people in the UK and many more in the Commonwealth will want to pay their respects to a truly marvellous lady which is quite normal and if this results in many events being cancelled so be it.
Most of you posting might think differently that’s ok it’s a free word and you are entitled to think what you wish but don’t complain about the rest.

In my humble opinion, i hope sporting events go ahead this weekend as it's a great opportunity to show respects to the Queen throughout the events. She was a great lover of sport too. But, i do get the magnitude of her passing and can understand if they are cancelled. No dramas either way.
