Looks like most of the egg chasers decided against taking the knee at Twickenham today. Be good if some footballers follow their lead.

Kneeling at sports events is so yesterday.

Billy has previously said he only kneels to God. He and his brother also had the most expensive education out of all the England players. They've lead pretty charmed lives. I can't think of a single race incident in Rugby, and the Vunapola's wouldn't be the first two people I'd like to piss off. I remember Abendanon once claiming that the Tuilangi brothers weren't very good before a game. Here's what happened [Link] Imagine if they were reacting to racism (I'd love to see it). Whilst footballers are getting racist abuse on twitter week in, week out, I can see why they want to continue to kneel. It's just a shame that a simple jesture in an NFL game hijacked by BLM.

Love it. Nowhere to hide on a rugby field if you’ve upset someone. After someone took a cheap shot at Wade Dooley (big mistake btw), Dooley turned round to the ref and said, “whatever you do, do not send that f@@ker off”.

Like watching Connor Wickham the way he kept on getting up. Also Butch James was playing - he was a vicious tackler, particularly for a no. 10.

As a defending player, there's nothing more intimidating that hitting someone as hard as you can, then watching them get up and seem like nothings happened. Brings back memories of Muhammad Ali asking George Forman why he wasn't hitting him harder. It's a shame footballers don't adopt the same mentality. If Wilf acted like that he'd go from scarring defenders to terrifying them. Also, how is Conner Wickham injured all the time? The guys f***ing massive. Our fitness, strength, and conditioning training is concerning, despite the age of the players. Are we too cautious with injures? I dont really understand how one set of professional can go through the forces of multiple car crashes every game and another get dragged off every time they feel a twinges. Genuine question if anyone can answer it.

Genuine question if anyone can answer it. Footballers and rugby players are total opposites. One lot want people to think they’re more hurt than they are and the other will do anything to prove they aren’t.

If the photos in the article are anything to go by, which they probably are, 7 England player remained standing and just 4 Swetty’s took the knee which means the majority are against it. I appreciate it’s The Daily Mail which is total dross, but this is verified on BBC.

I appreciate it’s The Daily Mail which is total dross, but this is verified on BBC. Some took quite a while to get down on one knee. A few looked at each other as if to saw, what are we meant to be doing now? Then got down in a disorganised fashion. Would be easy to manipulate the numbers in a photo.

Taking a knee is just ludicrous, posturing nonsense that does not bring equality one millimetre nearer.
