I don't think anyone is pretending it was a good game, it certainly wasn't. But, and this is a big but, games as poor as this with bad handling errors and low try counts are par for the course in the 6 nations and here they get reported as "compelling", "gripping", tense" and any other dishonest superlatives the likes of Calvin and his fellow graduates of the Josef Goebbels school of journalism care to spout.

Looked way more than 12k empty seats so I presume they count the club Wembley non attendees?

Lowest turn out of neutral fans I've ever seen at Wembley and the 2 clubs certainly took plenty between them

I think you really saw the recession kicking in with neutral fans this year given the choice of an expensive weekend in London supporting another team or saving some money. As for the article it is pretty pointless given that if we had had a decent game (which we normally do) and the weather was OK actually there was nothing to write given I cant find any sort of real match report in that article or on the Indi website. The same could have been said about the over hyped and over sponsored Lions tour which I certainly found dour at best and only really enjoyed by its core audience but needless to say that article hasnt appeared yet. As for only people attending from the M62 corridor he clearly mixed in different circles to myself and the people from Scotland, Wales and London who I spoke to before and after the game.

Tbh, after i read it i just laughed.. Any chance he's a football fan??

No he isn't. He supports Millwall!!!
