    Oz v Wales is the match that interests me the most. What can Schmidt do with Oz?

    dont expect high quality rugby, two very workmanlike teams without high quality x factor players.

    More matches than those, although not of interest to many:

    USA vs Romania already at 01:00 this morning. Ended 31-17 to USA.

    Chile vs Hong Kong at 20:00 tonight too.

    Mad weekend for sport, F1, MotoGP, Rugby (summer tours and Currie Cup here in SA), Wimbledon, not even sure what else that I dont follow.

    Edit, the Euros football last night and tonight. Knew I was forgetting something.

    England in their own half just looking to kick the ball away but they are neither clearances or contestable most of the time so far from Mitchell

    Maybe trying to play a bit too much in the last phases by NZ but very good defence from England.

    I wonder will we see Perenara for the 2nd half that twist of his knee looked very severe

    indeed, I did limit my list to games that were easily watched on UK/Irish linear TV.

    For those wondering about Sky coverage of NZ v England a mixture of old and new: Anna Woolhouse, Kyle Sinckler, Nick Evans, Will Greenwood in the studio, Miles Harrison and David Flatman on the call (apparently from Iselworth rather than Dunedin).

    On one hand, you think that Christie is an eejit for not using the ball when the ref told him to, but it's also a shame that you can't keep the ball in the scrum and try to drive forward when you feel that you've got the upper hand.

    Not really seeing the point of these aimless high balls in midfield from NZ. Much better to play for the corner, and maybe get a 50/22.

    60 seconds always for a penalty. Ref counted 20 and 10 seconds left. DM has no excuse

    For all the clamouring to get Razor into the top job, that was a pretty mediocre start. Aside from a couple of moments, NZ looked pretty ordinary, and England's defense dealt with them fairly handy. I know it's early days, but I've always thought the expectation of what he'll be able to do as head coach could be unrealistic.

    Was mental hearing the commentary saying how great it was that the ref didn't count it down cause it wasn't his job... throughout the game he'd been giving 10 or 20 second warnings, and he did so again there. McKenzie either didn't hear him or thought he'd be let off with it. Either way, inexcusable from him, needs to be more aware of the clock.

    Im not liking the articles the last day or 2 in SA news. You would wonder whose side they are on, getting into the SA team's heads more than anything I would imagine.

    "World champs out to beat the one team in whose head they've never been"

    "Loftus Test flyhalf duel: Be wary, the stats tease and deceive"

    "Bok skipper Kolisi back in Test cauldron with Irish showdown: 'The only team we havent beaten'"

    "An Irish monkey on his back: Double World Cup winner Erasmus seeks first triumph over Ireland"

    "Boks vs Ireland: Battle between number one and two feels like an ambush waiting to happen"

    Win or lose, brandy and coke will flow and im lighting the braai at half time and throwing some rump steaks on when the game is done.

    Is the Ireland game on any free to air channel?

    Next Man City manager: You lot may all be internationals and have won all the domestic honours there are to win under Pep. But as far as I'm concerned, the first thing you can do for me is to chuck all your medals and all your caps and all your pots and all your pans into the biggest **** dustbin you can find, because you've never won any of them fairly. You've done it all by bloody cheating.
