I thought they said that it’s the ads that would be muted & viewers wouldn’t miss any of the action and commentary of the game.

They really have balls’d this up in a time when they want more people to start watching the game & 1 of the most confusing things for new fans to understand is the scrum and they would rather those fans listen to a err I can’t even remember what that ad was, was it a travel 1? Instead of Flats explaining what is going on 🤷‍♂️

This will be the new norm with most televised sports I fear

[Nalis]

Pollock is a proper Vardy type character, hate him as an opposition player but you'd love to have him in your team

Yeah sadly I think you’re going to be right, all very American 

[leicsmac]

Not entirely sure that's a penalty try tbh. Little bit harsh.

[RowlattsFox]

Not a avid rugby watcher but a high tackle there seems ridiculous 

[leicsmac]

Not entirely sure about that one being ruled out, either, so I guess it's even. 

[leicsmac]

And consider the cake iced. 

[Zear0]

Better than last year for them at least.

GET IN!

England go 2 tries up next week and Murrayfield will start to vocally turn against Townsend. 

 

Can't see him surviving past this 6N

Sunday Times seems to agree

 

[Finnegan]

I'll be extremely surprised if he isn't sacked after the tournament. 

 

If they don't beat us in Cardiff, where they've won once in like a billion years (albeit last time) then they're looking at a likely whitewash and first wooden spoon since 2015.

 

Given he's already a divisive figure I can't see him surviving that. Not unless the SRFU truly don't think they can attract anyone better. 

 

If they get even a sniff that they can get Franco out of his contract early they'll probably jump. 

 

[BKLFox]

Despite denying it I’m sure Townsend will end up at Newcastle shortly after the 6N finishes regardless of being sacked or not.

That'd have to be a very, very big offer. I appreciate Red Bull money and all but he's a year out from a world cup.

How much better is it having rugby on a Thursday night so you don't clutter up your winter Sundays?

Looks like a France v England decider on the final day but obviously Ireland will have a say v England and there is Scotland who play both at home I think

Scotland is the big banana skin for England. Obviously if England play like they did yesterday then they should beat Scotland easily but they have a wicked habit of collapsing when they get to Murrayfield and the Scots will up their game significantly for that match. 

 

I think the France England game is likely to be a grand slam decider which I think France will edge but who knows.

[CWC1983]

England by +15,    Townsend's selections are baffling, especially on the bench. 

 

Anyway, off into town to watch it. No heckling the Scotland fan in the hoodie......

FORZA ITALIA!

Cant work out if Prendergast is devoid of confidence or just not very good

We were spoilt with O'Gara then Sexton. Crowley is solid but not spectacular
