    Sounding like teenagers who've found their dad's porn stash

      Marius Jonker is single handedly determined to ruin Rugby

              Can someone do something technical with the female commentators voice? As grating as chalk on a blackboard

                You have got to wonder after 18 years in the 6 Nations why the Italians have not improved, I reckon if you stuck Tonga ,Samoa and Fiji in that same comp they would be much more of a threat

                    I read somewhere that Italy decided not to even review the game against the all blacks.

                    In hindsight that may have been a bad idea. A review might have helped them avoid playing exactly the same clueless rugby two weeks running.

                                  Jelonch on the Italian 23. Shoulder went up on his jaw from what I saw.

                                      I cannot get over the amount of illegal crap the French get away with. More offside than SA, taking tacklers out off the ball and beyond the ruck like Ireland and NZ, more flopping over rucks than anyone out there.

                                      And my pet peeve is when they put hands on the ball for a split second to slow the ball down at the breakdown, then raise their hands to say “not guilty”. I just don’t get how they don’t get penalised more.

                                      In saying that, they have some fantastic, powerful rugby players and Jalibert is a gem of a fly half.

                                        Bs referee again these English refs are ruining the game along with Jonkers who a is blight on the game.

                                        The France have some impressive players
                                        Jalibert was very good at first five, and the no.8 is a beast Alldrit the 6 Jelonch was also impressive.

                                          Dickson and Carley have no feel for the game.

                                          Especially damning as Dickson is an ex-pro player
