He’s possibly the biggest prick on the field today, and James Lowe is playing.

Leinster are still winning this, but fair play to Saints they’ve been brilliant so far. Their players’ ability to pick a line through traffic is absolutely outstanding, they must spend so much time on it in training.

Its those photos of the BBC Director General that he’s got in his desk back on the farm, it’s the only plausible explanation

I’ll be honest, both have their strengths but I don’t look at either and think Lions 10.
But then I don’t think there’s a particularly strong crop of 10s in the home nations right now, compared to the prior couple of Lions tours when you had Sexton, Farrell, Russell, Biggar and maybe Ford too. 🤷♂️

That aside though, delighted to see France cut loose and put Ireland away.

Personally I’d see it as reckless, as would have to know there’s a risk of injury, but wouldn’t go as far as saying he intended to injure. But maybe I’m just giving a bit of benefit of the doubt.

I’m amazed this hasn’t got more scrutiny, I just don’t believe elite players (especially ones as skilful as Beirne) are that clumsy. Not saying any intent to injure, but definitely targeting legs at breakdown so surely at least a yellow?

Hold up, didn’t Palpatine’s whole master plan start with a trade war… 🤔😬

It’s maddening. Yesterday was a great game, with both teams really trying to play in poor conditions and under intense defensive, physical pressure. The vast majority of the execution, given the ambition on show, was actually pretty good in that context. But hey why not ignore that and just moan 🤷♂️

Feeling very mixed on Eng coaches. On one hand, decent squad with talent, but feels 5-10% off realising their full potential; how much longer does Borthwick get to unlock the rest?
On the other hand, everything about English clubs recently suggests we may actually just be seeing our current level…

Wales will lose to France by less than 10 points tonight 😬

But also… why is Elliot Daly standing around in the red football kit behind Dallaglio?

On the upside though, what a fucking magnificent game. Particularly enjoying smacking fascists in the bollocks. 😊

Incidentally, FWIW you’re fucking brilliant at what you do, and Banjo is the best. Fin.

I will never understand the amount of effort people are willing to put into artificially constructing their own rage. 🤷♂️
But I appreciate the at least mildly creative vocabulary, I guess… 😂

Unless you’re talking about Mike Catt for backs coach - MAYBE - fuck off Matt. Have you not seen what Clive Woodward, Andy Robinson and Martin Johnson have contributed post-2003. 🤷♂️

Seems clear statement that they’ve not found (any of) their 2027 tightheads yet. Cole prob understandable but I’d be worried if I were Will Stuart…
