2018 NatWest Six Nations: Round 1 - France v Ireland

[Reiser99]

Oh god it's Eddie Butler, did he and Andrew Cotter draw straws for the Wales/Scotland game?

 

[ratsapprentice]

BBC are trying to make the Irish say it but they're just like

Pauline literally said "he has all the same attributes as Itoje"

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Pauline literally said "he has all the same attributes as Itoje"

Ah, my mistake - I thought it was someone asking him if he thought that

Either way: dumb as hell

 

[ratsapprentice]

Promising player, though not watched him since u20's.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

James Ryan is the ****! Bossed Montpellier's pack twice this season .

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

James Ryan is the ****! Bossed Montpellier's pack twice this season .

But can he do it on a wet and windy night up in Newcastle?

 

[Reiser99]

But can he do it on a wet and windy night up in Newcastle?

Why would anyone want to do anything in Newcastle let alone when it's wet and windy?

 

[ratsapprentice]

All the best things to do in Newcastle are wet, windy and orange.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

All the best things to do in Newcastle are wet, windy and orange.

I see someone has watched the Geordie Shore

 

[Which Tyler]

Is there anything to do in Newcastle that isn't wet and windy?

 

[Reiser99]

France not making any dents really, but apart from the start Ireland haven't had much time on the ball. Wonder if they are letting France play their game and then hit them when they make a mistake.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

I think we're ******** the bed in Paris, very Irish of us!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Sounds like you've had experience?
Too much cheese and red wine?

It's the electrickery that gets them.

I didn't make it as far as Paris but...

 

[TommiG88]

A HIA for a bang of knees?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That was outstanding defence
France were only having to put in one man for every three Irish players and just wait for the chance to strike for a turnover



This is a very dodgy hia

 

[Which Tyler]

Well done Sonja, only 5 minutes after the rest of us.


Could be the video showed something after our replay finished, could be how stationary he was laying, could be a cynical use of the 10 minute allowance, for far from the first time.
If the latter, I hope they remember to actually donthe HIA last they be caught out like Saints in December 2016

 

[Reiser99]

Are France abusing the HIA laws again? World Rugby needs to take a serious look at this because last year was a joke and we don't want it happening again.

 

[munstermuffin]

France look like the traditional French style. Won't win today but definitely on right track
