Parisse is one helluva rugby player. You'd have to be as rugby dumb as mn5 to not appreciate it.
I prefer the term rugby evasive. Sleep is often more appealing than watching a bloke rack up his 102nd loss.
That doesn’t make him a poor rugby player, it might make make a poor selector of who he wants to play for though.
I never said he was poor but if he's a good as people on here say he is then he must have had some fucken diabolical teammates over the years.
Well, he had the choice of Argentina or Italy. I feel he chose... poorly.
Argentina are pretty shite though too. They're no Scotland....

They’ve made a World Cup semi final though, whereas Italy (and Scotland)...
EDIT: Oops my bad I forgot about 1991 and Hastings miss from in front of the posts. Funny, I’ve always thought of that as being the quarter final. It was a shit game from memory.

Can't remember any 6N with so many tries from unbelievably dumb mistakes - some of them look bloody hilarious.
Good win by Ireland IMHO. Kept their heads in the second half. Sexton had another average game, though. Schmidt might have some worries there.
Sexton took a lot late hits, missed one conversion and made the pass for Stockdale’s try before being taken off in 23rd minute for a HIA from a head stamp.
Don’t think he was that bad for his ‘cameo’ appearance.

He was average - way better than he was against England - but, to be fair, that wouldn't be hard. Finn Russell was streets ahead of him as was Farrell last week.
made the pass for Stockdale’s try
According to the commentators, it was a planned move, so quite probably nothing special.
And therein lies the sneaking, but growing suspicion that Sexton is only really effective behind a strong pack and when a game is going to plan.

@Victor-Meldrew yeah pretty laughable to pick the pass to Stockdale as a highlight when it was a nothing pass, you'd be astonished if Masaga couldn't make that pass. But didn't your last sentence just describe...a first five?
Why does itv have Jeremy Kyle's brother presenting this?
-
What does Dan Robson have to do to get on the pitch?

Man I can't wait for Fridays KO in SR. Without the fun of promotion/relegation the 6N is pretty much dead as a comp and boring as shit. Most of these results could have been predicted by Aunt Rose who knows nothing about rugby..

@Bones The quality of rugby so far in 6N is soooooooooo predictable. Bloody Italy and France don't bother turning up any more (that is when they aew not busy populating their national teams with foreign players) Scotland simply don't have the cattle, Wales are so-so and England although very good play their crash-bash syle down to a tee with little or no invention, while Ireland has flattered to deceive. Bloody hell the coaches rants are more interesting.

Plus England will now think they have won the world cup already....

@ShadowTrooper Not sure I'd agree that England are playing "crash-bash" rugby. And certainly haven't heard anyone of note suggest that the RWC is in the bag. But keep going, please. I've nearly got a winning line on my "lazy stereotypes" bingo card...

Top class first-fives don't go to pieces when things don't go to plan ....or when they're playing behind a non-dominant pack

I'd be delighted if NZ had played like that in November. Need I remind you of our 9 points - yes 9 points - at Dublin.
England have been very good so far, the rest very average.
