    He has a right to get his name written properly..

    I just thought you were talking about what my grandad did to my grandma.

    That sounds like a story begging to be told.

    France have been excellent tonight. 35-20 up with 8 to play. Set for the Bonus Point win, but as things stand England will be 2020 6 Nations Champions.

    Very impressed by France tonight. Lots of classy players, especially the 9/10 combination of Dupont and Ntamack. They take their chances very well.

    France the best side in the tournament but what happened v Scotland? England did enough, just, v Italy but by the cringe it was painful to watch. An appalling kicking game which we rarely seemed like changing. I doubt Eddie will be pleased overall.

    I’m not.

    I watched the 2nd half of the France-Ireland game. The breakdown is still an absolute mess with Barnes refereeing.

    The highlight of the match was watching Sexton sulk when he was subbed.

    I watched Bledisloe highlights on youtube, as had drunk a bit on the night. Then it played France v Ireland. That's my first experience watching any of the pro sports with no crowds. Gee, it's a tough watch. Didn't make it through to the end.

    Yet, I've previously watched test cricket from UAE with pretty much no crowds, without being affected.

    Scotland was dire, Wales was worse.

    Attack and Forwards skills coaches are a more pressing need

    Wales team announced

    Pivac under real pressure

    Tompkins taking the fall for shoddy defence.

    Unfortunately he looks like the only back who can open up a defence. Big mistake.

    If we persist with box kicking then we'll lose by 15-21.

    Eddie has pulled a few minor surprises, plus it seems ignoring the chance to blood some depth in areas that are crying out for it. But... in Eddie we trust.

    Backs:
    Daley, Jospeh, Lawrence, Slade, May, Farrell, Youngs.

    Forwards: Genge, George, Stuart, Ewels, Launchbury, Itoje, Willis, Vunipola.

    Bench (from memory and in no order):

    Vunipola, Dunn, Sinckler, Earl, Curry, Robson, Malins, Marchant.

    I don’t like the combo of Joseph on the wing and no back three replacement. Itoje could do with a rest instead of playing him out of position. Youngs could handle a rest also plus giving Robson some meaningful game time seems sensible. Glad that Willis has got his chance albeit at 7 and Malins has been lighting up things at Bristol and deserves his bench spot. I think this game will provide more questions than answers.
