I see that WR is now including the "other TMO" in their match official appointments. They are known as the Foul Play Review Official (FPRO). They are only listed closer to the date of the test.

Good idea, but poorly trialled.

Frustrated England fans demand Twickenham refund after surprise alcohol-free trial

There were reports of one man downing four pints in a row after discovering his seat was in a newly-created 'alcohol-free' zone

@Victor-Meldrew I'd be furious., What imbecile thought not telling prospective purchasers beforehand would be a good idea?

Louis Lynagh, son of Michael, has passed on the opportunity to play for England or Auatralia at least for now, and has joined up with the Italian squad ahead of their game against France.

[Tim]

@sparky Wasn't he dumped by England? He's not playing for Italy as a first choice ...

[sparky]

@Tim He played for England at Under 16 and Under 18 and was called up by Eddie Jones for a training squad before the 2022 6 Nations. Then he injured his knee and was out for 9 months. He's leaving Harlequins at the end of the season for Benetton in Italy.

[cgrant]

He was born in Treviso so it's not a big surprise.

[MajorRage]

He’s good, but not amazing.

I thought he’d get a couple of games for England then fade out. Career for Italy probably more lucrative.

Must hurt his old man a bit tho!!

stat attack.

England 7 drop goals from 23 RWC onwards. Probably more than the ABs since the first RWC!

Bugger. Feyi-Waboso out for the next game with concussion.

Double bugger.

The big boys will have to go some to better this match of the Spring

[Bones]

@MiketheSnow fuck how quick is France 12!

[Dodge]

Watched this last night, was a brilliant game.

They've taken huge strides forward since the Rugby World Cup five months ago.

Bugger.

Bottom half of the table again.

Nice to get the standard win over England……more frustrating getting the loss vs Italy and not quite getting up vs Ireland or France when it counted.

EVERY SINGLE Scottish fan on their facebook pages goes on about how proud they are of the team win or lose.

No one ever seems to get nasty or put the boot in. It comes across pretty pathetic, certainly not in the spirit of William Wallace thats for damn sure.
