The Rugby Thread

[Irishnev]

Can’t argue that he’s not been as good as Sexton, he’s arguable a better player to watch but he’s definitely not as successful. That said, stick him in the Ireland team right now and you’ve got a hell of a team.

Probably true, 6 nations v interesting this year - we’re on the away to FR and ENG year and no Sexton. I think France for the slam and Ireland with a decent shout at a triple crown

Questions over every team really.

Are England good now?
Are we **** now?
Can Ireland prosper without Sextons anuro annd leadership and with a few injuries?
Can France be as imposing without Dupont?
Can Wales blood effectively a new team with the Welsh regions doing so badly?
Where are Italy after a disappointing 6Ns and WC.

[Buzzo]

Agree though France have inform clubs and the best depth. Fancy them to win it also.

[Irishnev]

6 Nations tonight …… away to France and a few injuries so at least we’ll get to see how some of the next generation go. We’ve gone for a 6/2 split on the bench which is interesting but I fully expect France to win by 10 especially in Marseille

Am in Bologna for a couple of days so will hopefully watch from the hotel later

[Buzzo]

Yeah that’s a tough assignment for a first game.

If you win it tho… game on!

[Buzzo]

That could be a red.

Maybe wrapped his arm…???

[Buzzo]

Good start from Ireland.

[Buzzo]

France definitely a different proposition without DuPont.

[Buzzo]

Huge first 30 from Ireland.

Crowd silenced.

[Buzzo]

Willemse has had a shocker. France down to 14.

Game is Irelands to lose.

[Irishnev]

Watching on the phone so can’t type during the game - as good as we’ve been we still been v wasteful. Another 10 points left out there. Crowley making a few bad decisions also. If we keep our head we’ve a huge chance

Willemse is a ****ing Neanderthal, his first yellow was as red as you can’t. A liability to have in your team.

[Buzzo]

It’s tighter than it should be. France have momentum and it’s 14 v 14 for ten mins.

[Buzzo]

Ireland have been good from the start here, have always had France at arms length.

France have been very poor, look rudderless without DuPont.

[Buzzo]

A rout.

17-38

[Irishnev]

****ing hell Buzzo, I’m a pessimist as you know but that was wow. I genuinely didn’t see that coming….. sets us up massively now
