@Crucial Mate, when 30% of your club sides used letters and some others didn't use the number 13 because it was unlucky, you have to admit we're probably doing the best we can.
Bit like having 1140ml bottles of milk because it's too hard to get your heads around metrics or measuring fuel consumption in MPG but selling petrol by the litre.
Change doesn't come easy in the inbred isles does it?@Crucial That reminds me of the last time I went to the Isle of Wight. As the ferry pulled into Fishbourne the tannoy announced that the local time was 1958.

@Disgusted-of-TW You're right about Greenwood, it was an intercept of sorts - more that the Irish guy passed it to him than an actual intentional intercept and he sauntered over line going further and further away from the sticks before dotting down in the corner. Despite us being about 30 points to the good I was screaming at the TV for him to go under the posts. From memory it didn't matter as I'm pretty sure Wilkinson nailed the conversion anyway.
Happy days for an Englishman.

Maybe he had been watching a bit of Carlos Spencer?

@Crucial King Carlos landed the conversion also, did he not? Great fun to watch when he had the force with him, I was so pleased when he came to play in the UK, even though he never consistently hit the heights that he was capable of. Plus ca change, though, I guess.

Well Barnes has set his shocker decision out early. Deciding to review and yellow card Vakatawa for a very innocuous "deliberate" knock on, while not even bothering to review Williams' blatantly deliberate knock on and Halfpenny's very similar knock on didn't even get penalised. What the fuck goes through your head Wayne.

Fun to watch, it's a free for all at ruck time
Ireland heaps of ball and plenty of vigour, but England defending well.
-
England will win this, for all Ireland's ball, 10 points isn't enough
-
That loop is so easy to read and Ireland are getting caught miles behind the advantage line
-
Seems weird seeing Ben teo out there

France beat Wales in just under 100 minutes in a Barnes farce, he did his best to let Wales win but couldn't pull it off.

Are you kidding?
He didn't have a clue all match about the scrum. In regulation, Wales got pinged incorrectly.
In the extra 20 mins, France should have had a penalty try about 5 mins in.
Shambles

Really can't stand watching any games referee'd by a Frenchman
-
Ireland are good at controlling possession , that's what they have to do for 5 minutes
-
Sweet. Irish for a day!
-
Well done Ireland , a very gritty team
-
Yes! !
Hard luck England.
-
They don't like it up 'em Mr Mainwaring
-
Or not. England were coming in the back of their scrum and their maul. Then that catch against the throw and that was the game.
England just couldn't get any ball.
O'Mahoney the difference at the death.

Can't see much call for the November test now
