Anyone heard from TSG
He is usually all over this thread in the 6N especially with the first game being in France
I hope he is keeping ok

Yeah I was thinking that around the French game . He hasn’t posted since 18/1 , hope all is ok

One thing that bothers me is that Ireland have three residency Kiwis in their backline (not sure about Hanson) and a residency flanker in VDF but it's Scotland that are the team of mercenaries with only two residency starters. Yeah , “residency flanker”. As in resident of Ireland since the day he w...

I think so?

Farrell will inform the team of his selection this morning before their main training session of the week, while he’ll announce it publicly tomorrow afternoon.

forgot its a sunday game

I forgot today is only Thursday ffs

I wonder are there professional U20s to be released for France? What do you mean? Are you asking whether we have pros who are U20 but not playing with the selection because of their pro commitments? If this is your question, yes this is the case. Some key players are missing. Some are with the Seni...

Does nobody else want to host the event ?

With a traditional 5/3 split will they go with Harry on the bench plus an outside back ?

Seniors

England 31 Wales 13

Yes. Italy can beat Ireland It’s not Italy vs Chad, that would make it not possible. We lost by only 3 points to a team that played a semifinal in the last World Cup. We should beat a quarter finalist, a perennial one. Any other result will be a complete failure. That’s the spirit Taf 👍 I think Ire...

Indeed . It’s an ice pack the poor crator will need , not a candle . And a large tub of Silcocks Base probably .

Ah no I meant it will take her a week to recover . His work will be done in about 3 minutes. Some 3 minutes for Mrs. Mungo though . God bless her

Ms MungoSpouse watched the highlights package and decided McCarthy should have been stripped of his MOTM on the basis of his haircut. She still would though Of course she would. She'd cut it herself beforehand, then give it a final trim afterwards, when her heart rate normalized and she'd recompose...

Nash is definitely more than average. He’s very solid, has genuine pace and power and also has the mental fortitude for this level. He’s without a doubt above the current version of Stockdale who it seems last lost that bit of pace that made him so lethal in his early 20’s. He's a good player for M...

Stockdale at his peak was the most threatening winger we've probably had in the pro era. It's been a long time since he showed that though. I don't know anybody who doesn't want Stockdale back to his best, but he's a long way from it. The problem is every decent team knows how to exploit his glarin...

Beirne, with Ryan on the bench. And Henderson as injury cover ☘️ The Lions pack at the mo would be something like: 1. Porter 2. Sheahan 3. Furlong 4. McCarthy 5. Beirne 6. O'Mahony 7.

This is the third year in a row that France Ireland U20s has been one of the more enjoyable games to watch during 6N season.

Don't fear Wales or Scotland tbf. Wainwright and the Welsh 7 are good but they're twinks compared to our alpha chads. We will f**king smash both of them in Dublin. Not a shred of doubt in my mind.

I thought Crusaders were supposed to win this by 70 points and threaten to destroy the concept of Munster playing touring sides at PUC

If you go back through the match thread (please don't, you'll want to top yourself. It's full of shite even if there's genius mixed in,) I made repeated comments about how the kicking from Ireland was an evolution of the game. Especially against the typical French game. Maybe it was coincedence and...
