Sorry, but I disagree. It was so obvious England thought they had the match won before kick-off. But even more shameful was the petulance and lack of grace they showed in receiving their silver medals, Itoje hadn't the basic grace to let Bill Beaumont put the medal around his neck. Swami

Yes, hopefully that will shut Eddie Jones and England up, I think they just thought all they had to do was to turn up and they would win. Swami

I also remember Kyushu when Onokuni landed on Chiyonofuji's head, looked awful but Chiyonofuji came back to win the yusho. Swami

Not long now to Japan v South Africa, although after yesterday's demoltition of Ireland by New Zealand, it is hard to see anyone other than the All Blacks lifting the trophy. Swami

Ex-Masurao was another one who suffered injuries which in effect changed his career for the poorer, he injured his knee against both Konishiki and Onokuni (the two heaviest men at the time) and he never recaptured his '87 form as a result. An Enho-Ichinojo bout; it depends what Ichinojo turns up, if he turns up with a bit of fighting spirit, he should take care of Enho easily enough. But if, as is the case more often than not, he lumbers about with no fighting spirit at all, Enho will fancy his chances. Swami

Absolutely, and to be fair a lot of them do lose a lot of weight immediately after retirement. Swami

It just seems like rikishi are dying younger nowadays when, even taking into consideration the risks their lifestyles bring about, greater life expectancy rates should be increasing their lifespans. Swami
