I believe the French may have bought a smoke machine or 2.

Paul O'Connell's talking about the big sacrifice Payne and Aki made going to Ireland. Say what? Gee how tough they have it eh.

Well they could have gone to London or Cardiff instead is what he means....

..and one of the fuckwits in the commentary team referred to the EOYT tests as friendlies!

Don't start that soccer bullshit please.

Not the first time. Bit like the exhibition match tag on Chicago test.

Halfpenny in again. 27-0

Yeah - but the Chicago match really was an exhibition match, and doesn't count.
Right?

Of course - same as the exhibition matches every June down south.

60-0 does sound like an exhibition-type match.
How about a deal - we expunge that match from records, along with Chicago?

Just remove all the friendly matches and start from there.

How many’s that?

[Derm McCrum]

And we’re off.

Well of course now it makes complete sense! He never mentioned either of those paradise cities..

Choosing the criteria of being played on neutral ground (non-WC)... as I figure that is a pretty good pointer that the match is of an "exhibition style friendly", I figure we start with forgetting all about:
Ire-NZ Chicago,
Aus-NZ Hong Kong

[Derm McCrum]

Sexton with the first points.

[Derm McCrum]

French making it hot n heavy - unsurprisingly.

[Kruse]

Love the comms taking great pains to distance themselves from "the arty slow-motion nonsense"

[ShadowTrooper]

I'm cheering for the local lad ...C'mon Bundee O'Aki

[Derm McCrum]

@shadowtrooper

Original.

[ShadowTrooper]

@pot-hale Getting harder and harder to spot Johnny Foreigner eh?

[Derm McCrum]

Fuck. VdF off with twisted knee. Leavy on.

Backrow stocks being eaten into. SOB and Ruddock out as well.

No. It was more the 19th time the joke was made. PS for future reference, if the name begins with a vowel, it’s better to go with Mac or Mc.

[ShadowTrooper]

@pot-hale Mc doesn't get the same kinda reaction

And there's enouch Micks around here as it is.
(wink emoticon, or whatever is required to excuse the casual racism)

[Derm McCrum]

Sexton playing like demon in tackle.

Another kickable penalty to France and they go for corner. Squeaky time.

[Derm McCrum]

Don’t know enough about scrums but Ireland seem to be getting the edge.

[Derm McCrum]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuck

Thomas in. Shit tackling.

[Kruse]

FFS... limping off, claiming it's a HIA. This shit is getting ridiculous.
