    Why has it been filled with rubbish - can all of us that were on it in the 90's start somewhere else please?

    I see no rubbish; just some looney NZ guy.

    Let's talk about the Autumn Internationals. Can Wales finally crack the
    Curse of the Wallabies?

    Looks like they did. Couldn't get watching match but I believe it wasn't
    a classic!

    Caught Ireland v Pumas. Looks like Ireland have a bit of work to do to
    be ready for the All Blacks.

    Heart went out to Sean O'Brien. Yet another injury. Hope it's not as
    serious as it looked.

    I sometimes wonder if this is the sort of game I want to watch/follow
    where injuries appear to be occurring more & more. I appreciate there
    have always been (and always will be) injuries. Maybe it's just the game
    is so high profile now we're more aware of them.

    Anyway looking forward to the Ireland v ABs @ Lansdowne Rd on Saturday.

    David

    It was a right slog, with too many errors on both side when in attack;
    both defenses looked reasonable. Throw-ins going too far, too much
    kicking away, Halfpenny having a wobbly. Just scraped the win.

    England seemed to have the measure of the All-Blacks until nearly half-
    time when they slogged their way back into it. (No roof at Twickenham!)

    Scotland seemed to gain heart with Fiji's defense not being wide enough.

    Caught Ireland v Pumas. Looks like Ireland have a bit of work to do to
    be ready for the All Blacks.

    Maybe I'll view that this evening.

    Interesting point -- I feel very similar. I saw the injury to Rob
    Horne on tv -- less than a minute into the game Leicester v
    Northampton last April and an unremarkable tackle led to hideous
    injury and paralysis of one arm.

    "Horne had damaged his brachial plexus so badly that all five nerves
    separated from his spinal cord, leaving him without any feeling in his
    right arm and, for a period of time, even worse."

    https://tinyurl.com/y737qzhd

    (Link to Independent article. The guy is doing brilliantly in
    adversity.)

    It just added to the concerns I have regarding head injury and
    concussion related issues.

    Still watching -- but I am much less enthusiastic than I used to be.

    Regarding "Cynic"'s initial post -- I believe there is a RSRU Facebook
    page people have joined. No good for me -- I don't do Facebook -- it
    is the work of Satan.

    Thank you for your input - think I remember you from the old days

    After a great few games I am in love with the game again [first time in my life I wished england won] I have been to every RWC and japan was to be my first miss [love the country and have japanese friends]

    I know how to handle FB [Instagram and twitter good too]- I will try to find the group

    Of course our old gwl@d page is still going and without time wasters/trolls - they get carded
    Their depression and anxiety thread has saved lives and has become famous.

    Anyone know what happened to Nigel Evans?

    If you mean Enoch, that depends on your newsreader. All the better
    ones have a killfile in which you can place email addresses used by
    idiots. I have Enoch's email address in my killfile so I never see
    anything he posts.

    and find the old guys facebook page

    I can't help you there.

    I'm pleased to say I have never seen any posts from someone called
    Enoch.

    Last I heard, Nigel Evans was (possibly) living in Thailand. He popped
    on here a few years ago but left when someone started trolling using
    his name.

    According to Didds, six months or so ago:

    "RSRU has a Facebook group now. So just search for RSRU, and ask to
    join."

    Happy hunting!

    Found them thanks. I am using google groups as newsreaders hard to get here.

    Is there a way to block rubbish in them please?

    Well RWC finally looks good - no longer will it be my first miss. I wonder cynically if recent AB results is a cunning plan ;-) -
