RBS 6 Nations - France vs Ireland - 04/02/2012, 15:00

You guys almost convinced me I was wrong but, after double-checking, the guy Lewsey owned in 2007 was Damien Traille. It was Poitrenaud against Wasps though (2004, Rob Howley scoring).


(If I'm misundestanding the discussion this might get embarrassing)


I've said it before: I like Poitrenaud as a centre, or as a fullback in a longer championship (as the top 14) where he has enough time to compensate his "Poitrenades" with his usual brilliance. He makes me nervous when playing 15 for France or in a knockout game for Toulouse.

I agree with all of this, and you are right about Traille also

he was also the form player in the Top 14 along with Nyanga and Vosloo during the World Cup period

Very little excitement surrounding this match. The postponement really took the bite out of it.

Ha, mine too but apparently I know Superugby a lot better than I know 6nations rugby and my 6n team is doing rather shite.

 

[Big Ewis]

It is going to be....TOUGH.
I honestly think nobody really is certain about the outcome of this at all....what a huge mystery this game represents...

 

[Seaton]

Viva les Bleus!

 

[big ginger 8]

Great hit by Healy if Clerc is injured thank God with his record.

Ireland's maul turnovers are something to admire, unless it's your team playing them, then it's just annoying!

One of the few think we've been innovative about in years

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Sexton's going to get ruined at some point today after giving it "all that" to Rougerie

 

[big ginger 8]

Line speed and flooding the breakdown has been good so far hopefully we can keep it up.

EDIT: Shocker of a kick there.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Oof, terrible kick from Sexton.

 

[Seaton]

Even Gavin Hastings could have kicked that...

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Even Olyy could have kicked that...

Fixed that for you :lol:



Irish scrum gone well so far.

 

[big ginger 8]

French TV are using some shite angles.

:lol:

A little off topic, but what position do/ did you play?

To put this on topic, I am going to say that Pearson is a brilliant ref who rarely gets decisions wrong.


Edit where necessary...

 

[Seaton]

What a gift
