🏉Strange red card for Tonga vs Scotland with no injury caused. If that’s the letter of the law, some discretion needed… #SCOvTON

🏏Good to see Ben Kellaway get a 50 for England Lions in Perth

Although the tourists are struggling, batting 75 and 72 overs is rather better than the seniors…..

🏉Remarkable effort by Ireland after they’d played themselves into trouble with a series of cards! But SA had plenty in hand… wouldn’t fancy the Wales front row’s afternoon next week. #IREvRSA

🏉Fine performance from Wales in attack with excellent finishes from Rogers creating history with his hat trick & LRZ

Overall a positive performance despite conceding 50

But simply didn’t have enough possession & NZ had an extra gear with Wales missing first up tackles and discipline #WALvNZL

🏉10 point deficit for Wales at HT much better than expected with two lovely tries created, but soft defence for NZ second try.

Perhaps the union could work on being able to see the first 5 mins of the game?
November 22, 2025 at 3:59 PM
🏏Well that escalated quickly 🫣

Perhaps England could work on a Plan B in their spare time?
