reds halfback is shithouse!! athletic but a poor 9. I like the locks and the 8 for the reds!
Morgan is so so - missed a few tackles tonight. Conan no impact. Would ike to see Huw Jones get more ball i think hes the best 13 on tour

He's the kiwi cabbage, best not to engage Great comeback mate. But POM dove and you know it. Great decision. Hopefully it stops more players thinking they can milk cheap pens. It wasn't a 'comeback' it was statement of fact, something cabbage would struggle with too. Haha you mug that os not a fact...

He collapsed like a French striker in the box. Irish fans refusing to take accountability for POM diving. Just own it fella...

Mate he was barely touched. HE TOOK A DIVE!! Very clear. At least be honest. Unless you think POM is a poof and gets put down by a touch which goes against all the tal anout how tough he is. If you call that a tackle you need another sport. Just stop it mate Perhaps you could explain to me then, wh...

Why does it matter if PoM is back pedaling? He is still tackled without the ball and it opens up a hole for the French to go through...if he wasn't beck pedaling then he would have been part of the ruck...and it would have been fine. Mate he was barely touched. HE TOOK A DIVE!! Very clear. At least...

Well done France - killed us in that 20 minute period in the second half. Not as down on the Irish performance as some. Not much went right, it happens. Score flattered France to a certain extent but they defended really well until the last 5. Still not sure wtf Gardner is thinking re the clear out...

IKUR01

Well, we gifted them a 14 point swing. But is was the 27 unanswered points before that where the game was decided. When we can't make yards up front, our attack just stalls out. Yep youre right it doeas stall. That is the downside of being coached into system only. When do they ever score long rang...

Gardner with the most atrocious ref performance in 6n history. Go back to super rugby and never again desecrate our tournament. No top job for you Easterby, persisting with Prendergast when everyone but deluded Leinster fans said he wasn't up to it. Andrew Goodman is a poor man's Mike Catt. Maybre ...

France are good for this but anyone who doesn't admit that the non pen at the end of the first half and that shocking try standing are outrageous decisions is just a cvnt. I've never been so devastated at winning a bet POM should have been stronger IMO. As someone who wants both sides to lose I thi...

Why is Henshaw cutting inside there? Got to put your head down in that position against a heavy forward. It was like watching Slade for England. Which is weird because Henshaw is a physical specimen. Hes a robot. Like most Irish backs that arent from Southern Hemisphere. Zero Flair, everything is c...

His touch finders from the base have killed the Irish They look much better with Lucu They do tbf I think maybe they need to start bringing him on in the last 20. His speed gives thier backs so much time on the ball. And their big forwards get to carry against retreating defenders more. The speed h...

I like Ireland and have watched them alot. Im not convinced Doris is as good as you think over there. He is good no doubt, but im yet to see him dominate a game. Ireland definitely cant afford to lose Gibson park hes the heart beat of that team

IKUR01

Imagine losing to France without Du Pont. He runs their whole game. To be fair, Lucu has been good. Not the attacking threat but speed of delivery much faster than Du Pont

IKUR01

Ref has absolutely killed ireland it's an absolute joke Haha asa if he has. Ireland have no ideas outside of their system mate. They are the best cheaters in the game the last couple of years and have almost always had the rub of the green. There are no bad decisions against them today, they are ju...

IKUR01

Ireland. Honestly, if their system rugby doesnt work they really have nothing else to offer. They dont score tries outside of their system. If you can contain their pressure for a bit they are lost. Who is their x factor player/s?? Aki dont play well and no James lowe and they are completely differe...

IKUR01

That’s a f**king outrageous call. About time a ref has called up these acting irish rugby players. He was barely touched mate!! he took a dive. You all go on about how touggh he is and here he goes taking a dive and you want a penalty for it. Get real bud. Hopefully all refs take note and keep pena...

Havnt seen much of Finn Smith but he looks the goods. Very clamplayer. Nice skillset. Low error rate. He might be the guy for them. Again, the flankers were great! So many turnovers. A few lessd grubbers though they gave away alot of possesion with crappy kicks Yeah he looks really good. England ar...

Sleightholme shouldve put his body on the line there! he tried to take the ball and kip through. Not the time for that

The English flanlers have been great in this game. All of them

Marcus Smith is doing too much in ths game. He's making bad decsions and playing selfishly! Him ruuning that short ball that he knocked on was just a ridiculous play From the brain behind "Alun Wyn Jones is sh1t". :lol: Alun wyn was a journeyman mate. Not hard to play that many caps for Wales. Like...

And?

and its hillarious that all their xfactor comes from foreigners. Still just plain old rugby players

I think there will be some disappointed Canes and Blues fans when Robertson announces his first squad this year. Whilst they've arrogantly assumed that the squad will be dominated by players from their teams, the reality is that sensible selection takes much, much more into account than a few month...

I realise that you'd love to believe your own horsesh1te; however, unfortunately for you, there is this thing called the internet, which provides the facts. For starters, Christchurch (who "haven't been good since 2010") played in the Crusaders region final in 2019 and made your country's top four ...

And the fact is that Hamilton had their 2022 1st XV at this tournament and were still tested by a team a year below them with almost no experience at 1st XV level. You claim this is just an excuse (it is but it’s obviously a valid one) and then explain away the significance of previous results. I’m...

Err...the last time SA schools played NZ schools when all the teams were the same age and it was during the rugby season was in 2019. The results were as follows: Glenwood (SA) 32 v John McGlashan (NZ) 17 Boland Landbou (SA) 30 Napier Boys (NZ) 25 Grey College (SA) 73 Christchurch BHS (NZ) 26 Paul ...

Much bigger? It’s men vs boys the other way around. Not surprising given its apparently an u18 vs an u17 team. Also the NZ u19 team played a bunch of scratch provincial sides :?

Yes you have no idea. He did well against France but was lucky to keep his spot. Definitely wasn't peak Savea. Nominated for World Player of the Year in 2014. But not at his peak? So when was peak Savea? And who should have replaced him? I'm talking about 2015. My comment was Piutau last played for...

Steven Luatua is another. Looked like taking the reigns from Kaino and ended up leaving shortly after Kaino did. He was coming into some great form before he left as well. Pity

Julia was shit in 2015 onwards. Huge drop in form. Still made the ABs though abd won it. Are you seriously doubling down on this comment?
