Off Topic Rugby 2020

More sensational French defence.

It will be a bit before the new Welsh coaching team get things the way they want. There are a few older generation players they need to gently move out as well.

 

Oh well, grandstand finish in store, 23-27...

 

Kitchen sink time....

 

What a disappointing end to a great game, French deserved their win, Ntamack was immense...

 

Belting game.....

 

Top stuff. Well deserved win.

Thought Mike Chieka was a great addition to the pundit panel, Martin Johnson the usual waste of space. Only good thing about Gabby Logan is that she isn’t John Inverdale, a 100%, card carrying, fully minted twat.

Beginning to make Ireland favourites for tomorrow, I’d quite like to see a France v Ireland last day play off.

 

I'm Welsh.
What a fantastic game. Great rugby
Well done France
There are going to be a few interesting years ahead of us.

Loving it.

 

SB......you wind-up merchant

 

England by 10

 

Decent start by England but I’m still bewildered by Tom Curry, one of the worlds in form flankers, playing at number 8.

 

Great start from England but they’ve created little. 2 bad individual mistakes cost us 2 tries. Ireland can’t defend like this for 80 minutes. Farrell needs to make changes at HT.

footnote; England offside every single time. Awful ref

 

While I don’t think the English are offside every time the ref is very weak. Some very poor decision making by the Irish, nothing working for them. Long way to go.

 

All credit to England. Very very strong.
Just making the point that the English midfield is suffocating the game. Lots of it should not be allowed. No doubt at all who the better team are

 

England were the better team at half time against the Scots at Twickenham last year.......your lot can’t be as bad second half.

Every single player in a white jersey is making a metre, or two, or 20. It completely contrasts the way Ireland are playing, where pretty much every carry they're making negative metres.

 

A tad downcast in the golf club apart from us 3 English....

England been totally dominant....the only positive for Ireland is that England haven't scored more....

17 - @EnglandRugby's 17-point lead at halftime in #ENGvIRE is their biggest in a Six Nations match against Ireland since 2002 (led 31-6 at HT, won 45-11). Commanding.

 

How many more punches are Ireland allowed to throw before the ref does his job

 

England still dominant and may just have scored the winning try. They are also being sensationally niggly, lots of holding, blocking, obstructing etc, winding the Irish up to the point that at least two of them have launched punches, which must have been seen by the officials but have gone unpunished. Ice hockey rules, great!

 

Glad you're all watching it, I've just got in and am f*cked...
