I was so wary of Teo as just another league journeyman, but every time I've seen him he's been genuinely good. Try well taken.

Great bosh by the Hask. Ireland could have done with Teo today.

Presume there'll be a yellow for the tackle on Hask there?

Joking aside though, he's a wit kant. Got fed up with his strapped up arm being used against the head of tacklers.

The Irish have a couple of poaches, the Welsh have a few (mostly English
). It's the modern game. Understand people don't like it but there aren't many teams who are immune.

hooked? over the arm and on the top of the torso. He was on the arm in other scrums but not that one.

No joking matter, I'm all for countries being more like franchises with a loose affiliation to nationality like now

Yep. Just can't have Farrell at 12 if teams are challenging you on the gainline.

The disadvantage of playing two flyhalves is you lose a carrier. Eddie has done well with his subs.
Care with an awful box kick.
