Why does there have to be gloating? It's possible just to be happy you've won.

Just a light hearted post following on from previous weeks postings. Why do you have to act all serious so often? It's rather irritating.

Why do you have to reply to a comment with an ad hominem response so often?

Why are you answering a question with a question? #pointless

Sigh. Well done, England.

I would also include the elevation of the new captain in that thought, not only did hartley show leadership, but when Robshaw is freedup to just do what he does best, his contribution to the team is immense.

To be honest, Robshaw's contributions in his first couple of seasons as captain were like this anyway. He lost playing form over the last 12 months, and he was never the best decision maker as a captain, so it is best that he is just being allowed to concentrate on his own performance now.

Surprised how well Hartley has taken to the captaincy, as it seems to have just toned him down a notch - still a tough and abrasive player but hasn't stepped over the line in the way that he has sometimes been prone to in the past. Hell, I even saw him pass the ball on Saturday
