fecking Eddie Jones commentating on England tomorrow - feck me better get the sledging in tonight, because that’s going to be ear-aids
Yeah and his defence is incredible too. Did you see him basically lift Mack Hansen off the try line with one arm when we played them last year?
Then there’s the kicking. Which doesn’t get talked about much but is crazy good. Off both feet.
Dupont is Diego Maradona.
That works for me as well.
that he might be, but he’s still entitled to air his opinion.
aye. messi’s clearly brilliant, but for me he’s missing the kind of mystique required to really win your heart. he’s probably just too consistent and too boring.
I still get the thought sometimes when I see someone try a 50:22, how much I'd have loved to see Ronan O'Gara have the option to do that in his day. He'd have been an absolute menace.
We are stoking every available valley girl's furnace.
We'll have more rugby players than England in 16 years.
I think that knock-on call was very harsh.
The English commentary for that was brilliant. It was an ex player saying "that's basically impossible", as he was watching it on replay.
Oh god spoiler that shit
That warning seems harsh. 13 minutes since the last one
Literally producing the next GOATs.
GOATs RAMs SHEEP all the same
Le Garrec single-handedly slowing down the French onslaught
Brutal and amazing rugby
That's gonna be red, I think
Yeah has to be, surely. Not even a hint of a wrap.
Yeah amazed if that doesn’t become a red
The bunker is good because no ref wants to give Ntamack a red in Paris in the tournament opener…..the bunker allows the ref to not feel that pressure
Yey, me and @JPRouve can have another debate on whether Ramos is a shit 10 or not
There is no debate. You were drunk and concussed when you made that claim.
I’m a former open-side flanker….Im at my most sensible when I’m drunk and concussedThere is no debate. You were drunk and concussed when you made that claim.
Le Garrec misses another fecking sitter to destroy my France +20 in each half bet. cnuts going right on the list
I think it's been a good addition. Oddly Quinlan was questioning whether the ref could have given a straight red but there isn't really anything to be gained from that.
Luke Pearce would have
Probably the only ref that would.No I think you only see straight reds for really egregious stuff like punches or players getting mullered in the air and landing on their heads
I didn’t really get that either. He shouldn’t give an onfield red without carefully reviewing all the footage and the whole point of the bunker is to save the fans sitting through all that faff. It’s a really clever/obvious initiative.
Especially when giving a red directly doesn't actually do anything. The player is immediately out with the yellow.
Yeah, exactly. Plus it can’t be reversed, right? Only upgraded. So why risk getting the call wrong?
Didn’t watch the game last night as I went to a Premiership cup game. What’s the deal with that red card? Is the ban the same for the 20 minute red and full red card?
It looked like the most obvious straight red I’ve seen for a while. If it was Owen Farrell we’d have an extra three pages in here

You must have missed most of Stade Francais’ European matches this season. They’ll clocked up at least 3 nastier reds all by themselvesDidn’t watch the game last night as I went to a Premiership cup game. What’s the deal with that red card?

Absolutely preach with the Faz comment btw
As much as he annoyed the shit out of me, Richie McCaw is the greatest player I've seen. For all the wonderful players he had around him, he was the driving force behind New Zealand's success in all parts of the world against all comers.
I can't speak for everybody in the Southern Hemisphere but many of us would say he needs to play a starring role in a French series win in New Zealand and or South Africa or win a World Cup for there to be no caveats alongside his claim as the best in the world or his generation.
Dupont is a phenomenal player in the Northern Hemisphere only. Sadly, he may never show it in the backyard of the game's two historical superpowers. Unless he wins a World Cup, all he'll be is a great player in his own Hemisphere and against South African provincial teams.
I think a Northern Hemisphere ref is more likely to give an on field red for that their Southern counterparts who'll only give an on field red if they absolutely have to.
I have France as my favourites for the tournament and bar the missed conversions, it was a perfect night for the hosts. It was the mauling we all expected.
Yeah it’s WC or bust for me. If he wins a WC for France I think he has to be up there, purely down to his outrageous personal ability
