Hey, the Kiwi numbers in 6 Nations have dropped with the injuries to Anscombe and Carberry. Just 2 Welsh, 2 English, 3 Irish, 3 Scots, 3 Italian and 1 French kiwi now. So, it has dropped below a full XV now............. lol

Ireland are a bunch of fluffybunnies with it. Representing your country, yeah right

'I heard someone call them the United Nations': England's verdict on 1/3 of Ireland XV qualifying under residency

England boss Eddie Jones couldn't resist a tongue-in-cheek comment on the Ireland XV containing three New Zealanders and two South Africans.

@Machpants Pot calling the kettle black there. But, I guess that Heinz, Te'o, Umaga, Vunipola, Hughes and Shields don't count as they are all committed Poms?

[Machpants]

@ARHS yeah another quality wind up brought to you by Jones.

In good Fern fashion - you didn't actually read that did you?

“I heard someone call them the United Nations, mate. I had a quick chuckle,” he said before going to defend what Ireland have been up to."
“Andy Farrell and Nick Easter (sic: Simon Easterby) and Mike Catt are just selecting the team they are allowed to select under the regulations. "

So defending himself really, as per the players that you mention.

After the cancellation of their games against France and Italy, now also Fiji's last game against Scotland has been cancelled. Really a disastrous tournament for the Flying Fijians, but with 29 players testing positive, not much anyone can do about it. Still a small chance that they'll play the last game against the no. 4 ranked team from the other pool.

Ireland love a bearded kiwi halfback eh. Good old southern hemisbeard.

[Bones]

Lowe looked like a prop, cruising in the background for May's second try.

[MiketheSnow]

England will be disappointed only being 12 pts clear

Should be home & hosed

Colour without over-excitement. Think he's worth 9/10.
