Yes he is shutup

Bloke's a dude!

Couldn't agree more, no nonsense terrific servant, hope he gets to lift the cup soon.

Cleg Smegson Arsenal season ticket holders can type?

@@Zkkr429 I am the CEO of a multinational - let's just say money is not an issue for me. My club level season ticket is £5000 annually, my Brabus is the best part of £250k. My house? Well, the one in Geneva is not as expensive as my one in London. I am not bragging, just feel it is important to add context to my previous comment. Best regards, Cleg Smegson

I don’t think you understand what context means.

@@clegsmegson2627 rugby is advertised like a bullish game with big hits but it is actually a very complex game! much complex than football.i watched some masterclass videos where players from diferent positions explained how they analised on the spot and what kind of decisions they take during certain phases of the game. impressive . totally underrated the complexity of rugby.

I remember my mum commenting when Tony Neary (a solicitor and then the most capped England player) was being interviewed in Rugby Special "Oh, he's better spoken than footballers". Neary was later jailed for embezzling clients' money.

That's what happens when you go high on a prop.

Can't stand the resets tho. Should call time off. Instead they waste 5 minutes of game time

Connor I can understand the frustration you feel about the resets, but think about this. If the clock was stopped for every reset, that would extend the game. Remember, American Football comes directly from rugby, and they stop the clock many times throughout a game. A 15-minute quarter can easily turn into 45 minutes real time, a 60 minute game can easily lapse pass 3 hours... yikes! I’m an American who grew up with the NFL, but once I found Rugby 4 years ago, I dropped the NFL and have been a fan of all the codes of rugby. Plus you can think of the resets adding to the drama of the overall game and the time crunch putting pressure on all involved. Adds a dynamism unlike other sports

@@MichaeldeSousaCruz It doesn't add drama to the game. It sometimes kills over 10 minutes of ball in play time. Either turn the clock off for the reset or add the time on at the end of the game.

Connor you might as well watch league (which I’m a fan of too) if you want to have more ball in play time. League is decades ahead of union in catering to spectators, because they went professional long before union and they had to create a game that people would want to pay to see

@@MichaeldeSousaCruz I do watch and I play league. But I find union more entertaining than league when it's an open game

Shame he was so badly shown up by the Beast in the RWC final.

Norma Stits me too!

Hardest position to play

its the classic minge bind!

Jim Crow well done England. You wanted to win more...Congrats

Smaller? Cole is 122kg.

Holy shit... I didn't believe you I'm afraid to say, so I googled it 😬😬😬

hooker if you are chunky, scrum half if you are gobby

Hooker - where all the best, most intelligent, athletic, skilful, handsome people play.

@@richwalker8898 I spent a lot of years playing tight head and came to the conclusion that all hookers are nutters.

@@agnostic47 now I'll take that from a prop - but I'm fighting anyone else!😂

Never mind lads fight to the end we are proud english

Binding a a second row in the scrum must have been interesting that game...

mikes246 the facial expressions

Imagine lifting him!

Like, if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle!

He gets the penalties back though when the other team collapses under his weight in the scrum😂

C 0 Sinklers a hot head who in high pressure games will let the side down with discipline. Cole is much more controlled, experience and just coz he doesn’t do fancy offloads or big runs like sinkler doesn’t mean he doesn’t offer anything.

There speaks someone who doesn't and/or hasn't played in the front row at any decent level, and probably never.. Old King Cole and Jacob leafblower Marler are still Englands two best scrummagers, which as he said is needed to tire out the opposition pack, which in turn allows players such as Rhino Genge, Mako The fly half and Stinckler to rampage around the park later in the game. England are the only team in world rugby to have the benefit of players such as Cole/Marler to add depth and huge experience to their front row.. I played in some very good front rows as a hooker, albeit many years ago [almost stone age], and there isn't a better set of props on the planet right now, with the addition of Exeters Harry Williams to the 5 at the RWC.. They all offer what is required in any given circumstance..

You make a fair few inaccurate assumptions, then start just spouting opinion as if it’s fact.

Alex Ryder Sinclair is better, cole still has something in scrum that’s it

Cole is solid in the scrum but he’s not destructive or feared. The way he plods about the field in between scrums isn’t world class. Let’s say he’s 7.5/10 in scrums and 3/10 in open play. Surely that can’t rank him as one of the world’s best tight heads.
