Looking forward to this game.

That Irish back 5 of the scrum is pretty damn frightening. I think they may shade this.

Misprint or has he done a Steve Walsh Junior and defected?

Misprint. He's actually the ref assigned to the Blues this year (can't ref them in a game but helps them during the week).

As a TMO in this game he'll be fine

back 5

You English always trying to come up with new names for things and change the order of players.

You mean the locks and loosies?

Catogrande

@Bones

See? You know what I meant. This time in the UK is doing you a power of good.

Interesting tactical battle later. Ireland will look to speed up the game, France will look to stop them. Refs cracking down on players not holding their weight in rucks now which means France will have to be careful as they like to blitz through rucks.

Andy Farrell is really likeable.

Fucking horrible.

Jailbreak7

@Bones He has that gritty northern dry self-derecating sense of
humor, most kiwis can relate to I think.

Victor Meldrew

'king hell.

We have Miles Harrison commentating.

How did NZR let James Lowe slip through their hands?

Hugo Kennan in.

KiwiMurph

Opened up France badly there.

Jailbreak7

@sparky cant tell ya how often he slid through the centre kick for the Chiefs. Ireland suits his style of play.

Tim

What a ball.
