Yeah hadn’t realised that was him at first.

He looks lovely. Not typical of a Welsh centre from recent years.

That's because he's completely English (as you implied earlier) From London or thereabouts I believe

I think he should have held on a bit TBH unless he truly felt a Welsh affinity through Granny, but then the same could be said about the likes of Polledri (who I mentioned earlier), wasting his time playing for Italy

That should have been lively in my post. He had a spark about him.

Speaking of “completely English”, I see Mako Vunipola had to head ‘home for family reasons’ this weekend and will miss the game. Home... Yet he seems to have gone to Tonga?

[Cormack74]

Mako and Billy should have played for Wales

I think they spent more time there than anywhere else.

Wait until Duhan Van Der Merwe makes his debut for Scotland this summer. He’s amazing.

From the Clan 'Van'.

One of the most famous no doubt.

The Mc Van Der Merwe’s.

Strong start from England

[ChesterDave]

Poor from Ireland. Carbon copy error

[Buzzo]

Can England back up a good half with a good half?

[Buzzo]

The atmosphere in Sunday afternoon games is always garbage.

[Buzzo]

Game on? Only 5 Sexton having a mare from the tee.

England must have been close to a yellow there.

Farrell junior losing his head a bit.

[Buzzo]

Good response from England. That’s the game I reckon.

Got to be one of the worst atmospheres for a 6 nations match I can remember. You can hear people chatting FFS. England have just been to strong for Ireland.

We don’t have the physicality to match them even though they were missing the two Vunipolas. The score flattered us and we have too many players there on reputation - I’d bin Sexton, he is a ****ing nightmare to listen to and when Carbury gets fit play him.

We are playing an antiquated brand of rugby and haven’t changed it up since the end of Schmidt’s reign. I expected a defeat so not that disappointed but I thought we’d put up more of a fight - we were bullied all over the pitch
