Brian Moore did allow some fairness to slip out :shock: with about 77 minutes on the clock saying that he was surprised Barnes had not warned the Welsh with a card warning much earlier in the game [ie 50-65 mins]. To hear the likes of Jiffy and Moore laud the Welsh defence and lament the lack of cut...

France have been 6 nations bitches for a while and to have a very new, young and potentially naive squad not only show a willingness to run the ball (even with numerous mistakes) and also show a little edge of borderline legality is encouraging. There are of course two views as to which side of the ...

Nothing in the touch on sexton, he's just made of glass these days. Apart from being late and no use of arms? Not only late but the player changed direction to shoulder charge him long after the ball was gone. Odd to see french posters defending this. :lol: Sir, they don't like it up 'em.... I thin...

Shameful, Schmidt needs to be held to account. it begins I've supported Schmidt 100% up to now, even with not having Jackson on the bench but there is something in this. I blamed the team for turning their nose up at a kickable penalty last week but they did it again today and that is Schmidts faul...

I like how the Irish are calling for citing sources this week yet, last week with high and tip tackles, kept quiet. I think the French are showing they can do the cheap shots too after SOB last year, It's hilarious. Being shot of Maestri would be a perfect result. If we can see Slimani, Chat, Mache...

Plus England have the better draw with Wales and Ireland at home.

Although I'll be really happy to be proven wrong.[/quote]

Trips to Rome and Paris (with France in re-build) and Ireland and Wales at HQ, the Slam is England's to lose.

Why is Bezy kicking? Because if he wasn't, it'd be Plisson. :lol: Enjoyed that one. Although many of the critiques are justified, I'm not sure why such negativity and near contempt is shown by a number of French posters to the XV de France. Korben D is almost made to look balanced, even if it would...

can you send a couple more Stade players next time please Nige to even things up a little?

Toulon basically cut out the errors and turned up the heat doing simple things powerfully, unspectacularly and well. Their bench was stronger. Leinster were under the cosh and poor options and execution from both Blue tens failed to relieve the pressure. Barnes had sweet f a to do with it but the ge...

After Charlie Hebdo I made the point that, while there was condemnation of the attacks from Muslims, it was largely qualified in that the general impression was that most Muslims felt that the magazine had brought it down on their own heads through their satirical attacks on Islam. I really felt th...

Breaking protocol, knowing that you've made an error, is surely the lesser of two wrongs. It at least results in the correct decision allowing the last couple of minutes of the match to remain a contest. I would wager that this is what Nigel would have done, and probably most of the other top guys ...

When is World Rugby going to issue a statement about Owens and the TMO and publicly apologise to Pape, PSA and the French fans? Here, here. A sneaky slap or a pushed fist doesn't bother me my Irish friends but I made a post wondering whether if McCaw were to be rolling around on the floor there wou...

Michalak has retired from international rugby.

Perhaps it's time now to give him some respect, though that seems unlikely on here.

Good career, Freddy

Miladiou is right on this. That's all.

Great performance all round, right up there with the best 15 man game performances I have had cause to fear from past thrashings

Agree with the Irish posters - that really was a g*y slap. Rather brought the game into disrepute and deserved a much longer ban Here's what you need to do if another player prevents you leaving a ruck (and here grabs a breast) and quite rightly only a yellow Man up for chrissakes, SOB you sneaky sl...

Many here have commented on the banter but not really with non Anglophone teams. He is a good ref in English but I feel he makes scant allowance to communicate outside the English language. We talk about having to adapt to a referee's interpretation but it will come that bit more slowly if most of o...

Michalak made two lovely breaks last night and his kick for the Fofana try butchering was truly something of class. The match would have been dull as ditchwater without it and he is in some ways a surprising player for PSA to pick. I would certainly think Freddie a draw for most Barbarians matches.....

Would absolutely love to watch every minute of every game, obviously not live. Sure that wont end up happening :( :thumbup: Me too. I'm in Hungary for the quarters though, so it might be hard.

The blow them away early is the only template to follow. If Ireland had gone scoreless in the 1st half how likely is it they'd have been ahead with 80 mins on the clock? Yet they could be in a winning position despite not scoring a single point in the 2nd half. There is only one blueprint - Establi...

Michoko had a good game and it was a good pass. Let's see however if it's the start of something cleverer than the trademark inside, "no look" pass of his however as that has so often, in recent times, gone straight to opposing players. Huget made it a great pass because of the great pace which he h...

don't think Toulon and Clermont have been too backward in backing English talent either, ie Armitage frères, Jonny and Abendenon, albeit more in "reclaiming" rather then "developing".

This is the new reality. It's going to be the French clubs dominating in Europe. I don't see that changing for the forseeable future. However as it has been said many times on here, France will continue to regress internationally which is a shame as we need the international game to be the lead in ...

Was he crying? TBH, we are used to the sight of Welsh players sobbing during the songs, and he is one of your genuinely Welsh players.

Basson was also the victim of the entire peloton.

Congratulations Jonny To retire at the top, adding a Brennus to an English Prem, 2 Heinekens and a RWC is fantastic.

In fact, Clermont's best spell was when they were down to 14 and a tad unlucky not to score a try
