Extremely impressive so far from Will Porter

Highest number of Will’s in a pro rugby team?

A hard recommend for the new Lebanese truck behind the South Stand ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Where do those simultaneously clamouring for more funding from RFU for the second tier &more money from RFU to keep the very best English players in the Premiership & more funding from RFU to make the Premiership clubs solvent think all this incremental income is coming from?

Awesome to see Dave will be back at The Stoop again this season!

Chance to check this out for early entrants into the ground, will be a fab watch

Tasty lineup!

Is there any injury news on CCS or Jarrod?

This is wicked and couldn’t be more up my street

Memories of Botica…

Come on not Eddie Jones!!

🤫 Farrell has been superb

A European Championships every 4 years for national teams? Would love to see this, and #Geo v #POR shows it would be wicked

MARCHANT!!

Having left south of France a few days ago, I do have sympathy for England and japan players tonight: the humidity at night makes it very difficult to catch a rugby ball

Kicking is the best strategy tonight, frustration is England need to take chances better when they arise

England need some fresh impetus. If only there was a mercurial talent on the bench…

An absence of on field leadership here

A lot of cheap shots happening, not sure any arms were used in the tackle to injure CCS

Breakdown surprisingly poor so far. Lineout clearly causing problems for us too. Too many pre programmed moves when we play, leading to interceptions

When we can get phases going, we look dangerous, but not happened often enough

Very stop start here at the stoop, sweaty hands leading to inaccuracy?

Chandler Cunningham-South (CCS from now on) adds a different dimension to us, great option to have

WE ARE BACK!

First XV take on Streatham-Croydon at the stoop. The boys cannot wait to get back on the pitch ready for the league.

A massive thank you to Harlequins 🃏 for hosting on short notice.

Entry at the stoop is free after the pro game, feel free to head down and support

Excuse the source (the article won’t bleat on about the free market or Truss) but this is a great article on the laws of the game being impossible to referee right now

Rugby is making referees enforce ridiculous laws which turn off loyalists and casual fans
