Unlucky Wales. I definetly thought that third Hook penalty went over.

Great game though!

I threw my shoulder out when Youngs went over. csb

Dan Cole had a good game. Other than that England were fucking terrible. Without stating the obvious i've never seen Wilkinson play like that before.

Matt Stevens (a BJJ brother!) was also good for the 15 minutes he was on

Gawk, a friend has been training for a while now. He trains at Lions Gym (Gracie Barra) and Red Corner (Matty Evans) in Coventry. He was telling my the other day he was looking to enter some open comps but he couldn't find anything going on over the next few months. You know of any?

BJJ is for pussies. Everyone knows this. Muay Thai ftw.

Springboks will win the WC, their forwards are so good in a test of attrition. Quality goes out of the window after 5/6 games hard games back to back. New Zealand will fold as usual (pussies), maybe Aus will improve their physicality. Doubt it tho, mostly pussies in Australia.

Felt sorry for Wales, good perfomance.

Bad performance from England. Just didn't get in to any kind of flow or play any rugby at all.

Jocks put in an average perfomance against romania, but have something to build on.

NZ looking alright, but seeign as they didn't win the tri-nations, they aren't on complete peak form. Dagg playing well, surprised anyone is starting over the legend mulaiana (sp).

If England can get some momentum i can see us in semi's. Maybe a final if we get lucky.

NZ or Aus to win i reckon

LG is an affiliate gym of GB Brum. It's one of our brown belts, Nathan Roberts, who teaches at Lions Gym.

Does he want to fight in a no-gi or gi comp. Theres a few of both in trhe last three months of the year

Not 100% sure if i fully understand the terms gi and non gi but if what i am guessing is correct then i dont i think he has any 'suits' so it would be non gi. Sure he could find out himself but i thought i would ask as i remembered you have taken part in a few open events

British No-gi Open in October.

Biggest no-gi comp in the UK. Highly recommended (though as it is run by us so I am biased!)

Judging by his performance last weekend maybe he should've been out chucking dwarves.

Solid performance from the irish. Aussies never really got going in all honesty, but i think you can put that down to the irish forwards dictating.

That was the most obscenely unjust ref decision! Disgusting!

Welshies, you have my sympathy
