Because with other refs discipline is not important...?

@simonadd_2 we're playing a loosehead who pretty much only took up rugby a year ago.

Bones

@billy-tell correct, they're in our pocket.

Wow, he must be really good to establish himself as the second-best loosehead in New Zealand in such a short time. Will look out for him.

My tickets fell through so me and a mate are heading out to Twickenham now to 'negotiate'. Added bit of a excitement before the game ...

Any sure things from Ferners heading to game, gratefully received.

Luckily for those relying on trains to get to the ground.

"RMT industrial action planned for this date has been cancelled. We plan to run a full service on this day subject to engineering works."

Trains from Clapham OK.

It was a beautiful morning now heavy rain. I hope somehow it avoids Twickenham... .

Tell them to look out for the bloke with the whistle he will be very eager to offer them a “deal”.

Doesn't look like it will on the rain radar. Coming directly from the west but at the speed it is going it may just pass over by kickoff or soon after

BBC is now saying there is a 98% chance of heavy rain from 3pm. This morning they were saying 10%. Just how fickle are these guys.

@crucial

Looks like it will be a mixture of heavy showers and dry weather during the game. So be it.

Pumped for the return of Brodie Retallick to the Test Rugby.

Rain in London in November isn't much of surprise though.

Rieko needs to calm himself down a bit maybe.

Damo

Enjoyed that haka. Justin Marshall talking rubbish as usual.

JC

@damoyeah, heard that. Nothing like feeding all the anti Haka trolls, eh?

Stargazer

@damo He's entitled to his opinion, just like anyone else. (Not saying I agree with him).
