Cannot believe how many cards we saw Argentina vs England have! What a game though. Next international window is the The Rugby Championship in August

    Loads of rugby again!

    What an opener too. A real rivalry between Ireland and NZ, can the green team get a first win in like 100 years at Eden Park tomorrow?

    I'm off to the Fiji game, tries ahoy!

    And what a closer after the football this week too. England keen to show the world they are a good team. And a good team keen to show the world that England aren't.

    Any predictions? Reactions and shitposts all appreciated!

    Yes, I had the same thought. He could wear a shirt of himself perhaps, or perhaps plastic bin armour (which probably isn't against rules, you must only surrender your sword). Or of course, de-mask during the acceptance speech and then request that his oath is taken solely with the costume, representing his mandate from the elected people of Clacton as a compromise. Or refuse his seat without the bin. Can hardly be worse than Farage in this regard

    It is here. Long talked about, semi-enthusiastically embraced, and definitely not a cash grab. The not world cup is here in non-lions, non-world-cup years for the first time with the winner getting not even a trophy! A replacement for the summer and autumn tests (as the NH call things), and formalising what teams were already doing, now with a finals weekend in London. I do fancy heading down myself, I like the idea of a weekend of north vs south in Twickenham.

    So lots of matches to kick things off, a long day of rugby if you want! And they honestly all looking a cracking fixture. Will an ascendant Italy take on Jones' Japan? Will Wales scrape a win vs underfunded Fiji? Will stuttering Ireland bash the underperforming Wallabies? NZ vs France. South Africa wanting to smash the English. And Argentina wanting to cement their smash and grab from last year against Scotland

    That's 14 hours of rugby, and all should be top quality. As always, predictions before, reactions during, and analysis after all very welcome, and shit-posts and pitch shots very much saught

    Happy international rugby eve!
