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.

You're entitled to your opinion of course, nobody is denying that.

But can I ask what form your paying of respects to the Queen will take between 8 and 10 this evening?

Surely the best way to pay respects is to carry on regardless? Wasn't that her way? To continue to do her duty come what may?

There is literally no one on here complaining. If anything, youre the one with the bee in your bonnet at the thought of the rugby being on.

It is a free world and there for cancelling sport and taking away peoples choice is not free is it, its forcing a narrative on people “you will mourn you will bow to your betters”
Half this country don’t want a monarchy I gave no respect for the royals the Queen has protected her own son a sexual predator from rightful justice, they all new about jimmy saville and let him get in with it.

No mourning no respect from me

Anyway as there is a rugby match happening, looks like Newman hasn't travelled with the squad. We look outgunned in all the important areas across the park. Would be a huge turn up if we progress.

Well that's a load of tripe for a start...! What do you say to those that have booked time off work to go to various events that won't necessarily get their money back??
What's wrong with a minutes silence before each game of every sport?? What happened is sad fair enough, but to curtail every sporting event isn't the answer.

I can't believe Steves is spending time on this board on a national day of mourning. We need more grief!
