Behave.

Hadn’t won at Twickers since 2005!

France and Ireland are a class apart .

[Livid]

Tigers rang me up in the week and offered me a ticket for today…..I thought about it but glad I didn’t take it.

I thought it was obvious I was being tongue in cheek, I expected better from you than to nibble that easily.

England have been shite but France look a great side

Dont care if we're the number 1 ranked team, France are favourites for the world cup.

 

Now 53-10.

I shouldnt laugh too much, you'll still get further than us in the world cup.

I genuinely don't think we'll get out of the group.

they clearly didn’t turn up out of solidarity with Lineker….

[David Hankey]

Good to see a fellow Leicester hero, Martin Johnson, doing his job professionally and without controversy - as it should be.

[Nalis]

This is very even so far. Annoyingly even.

[Finnegan]

Not a single winger on the pitch even born in this hemisphere

 

 

Really need to address the residency rules in this sport.

Agreed.

 

To be fair to Mack Hansen his mother was born in Cork but he grew up in Oz so thats only marginally not as crap as the residency rules.

Fair enough I've got no problem with that. 

 

Scotland had three Saffers and two Aussies in their starting line up with no connection to Scotland and they're five of their best players, too. 

 

Both the Aussies have worn the Wallaby gold too. Just stupid. 

 

I know we've had a couple over the years as well but never like this. When you look at the impact of VDM and Tuipolotu on Scotland, these guys literally make the difference between them being an average side and an excellent one. 

 

Ireland not much better with their project players. Half of New Zealand out there atm. 

[Super_horns]

Congratulations to Ireland on their Grand Slam .

TMO is every bit as shit as VAR. Slow motion makes that look awful but he’s literally bracing for contact.

[Staff]

Red card for that? Officiating as bad in rugby as it is football

Ridiculous decision. Anti-English bias going way too far in the 6N in recent years.

[Vacamion]

 

I get protecting heads, but he was penalised for being in the way and bracing for impact.

 

Ruined the game, too.

I agree the slowmo is not how the players are living it so rather artificial in how it makes things look worse. I think Rugby has a real problem to balance player safety and ruining the game. It did look like a natural bracing reaction and the Irish lad was not in control of the ball and was low. Perhaps a yellow at most. I bow to anyone with more knowledge of Rugby

Exactly . The subtext of the question from the on field ref to the video ref “ I’m trying to f**k England over like we agreed . Will it look obvious and ridiculous if I send the player off”
