gosh i can’t believe it’s been that long! still think they’re turning a corner but they make so many mistakes…

i was sure they beat australia at home last year though! 🧐
Oh maybe I misheard! I can remember many years ago watching them when they were scoring try after try! I loved Sergio Parisse, always felt like he tried so hard, brilliant player.

Blimey, France are kicking our a!!

i googled and you’re (technically) right - the australia game was in florence so not their usual “home” ground i suppose. sergio parisse was an outstanding player, could have achieved so so much on a different team (also sad that his final game/retirement was so muddled and messed up. never quite had the send off he deserved).

knew france would batter england. england cannot compete with that level of creativity - it’s the polar opposite to their style.

i saw this every time but what a player dupont is 👌🏻

Yes, Sergio deserved so much more, he fought so hard for Italy, excellent all round player to.
Dupont is a brilliant player, you don't come across many like him often.
I've given up watching this match, gona take the dog out!
Tomorrow should be good, Scotland v Ireland.

Bet Eddie jones is somewhere laughing with his giant cheque and mojito. As an Ireland fan I just want to thank the RFU for being so stupid

It'll be an interesting World Cup especially as they're hosting!

dupont is just insane

love Ramos too
they have so much talent across the board: it’s madness. they also seem to have lost the unpredictability of a lot of past french teams. still hoping for some kind of scandal where it is revealed dupont is welsh and has to play for us instead 🤣😉

it was mad to me to see so many england fans leave before the final whistle. i’ve sat through some absolutely shocking welsh performances but i’ve always stayed because sometimes, it’s just a honour to watch a team just completely in their zone (in wales’ case it was mostly watching new zealand absolutely batter us though). if i’ve paid that much money, i’m seeing it through to the end 🤣

Am abit annoyed about your post, there are some teams I like seeing 'beat' but I don't gloat about it, I give credit where it's due, am not here to ag off other teams, am here to enjoy the matches.

i think it really hard on the English couching team, they don’t have much time left to test players in difficult games. No team can be turned around over night. I would never discount England doing well at the World Cup thou.

I'm looking forward to the match today, Irish living in Edinburgh but sadly no ticket.

it’s tough because, like they said on the commentary last night, what we watched was really england’s first team (except maybe with farrell in the starting line up). they’re pretty short on other options.

i fear smith will go the way of cipriani tbh. potentially a great player but doesn’t suit england’s play by play style. his line break last night when absolutely no support runners went with him sums that up. england will always pick steady and dependable over raw talent.

looking forward to today too! could be an ireland slip up? france will be watching with GREAT interest (especially considering they have to play us next, when we will presumably get absolutely bonus point wrecked).

England are definitely not playing of the same hymn sheet, two clubs going burst in the prem will not of helped. Glad Farrell can have a day off from the media blaming him thou.

Ireland should be able to find a way to win today but scotland are at home and in great form. Ireland have a few keys players back as well but some without game time.

100th cap for Hogg and 50th for Ringrose today as well.

Thank you for post, yeah we played crap yesterday, but that post pissed me off, I could gloat about how crap the Welsh are, but I choose not to, we all know that alot of folks don't like England, but I really don't ag off off any other teams.
Ah shame you couldn't you couldn't get tickets, hope you enjoy watching though.

Scotland threw the new ball in. Ireland got try but disallowed because of the new ball.
How can that be Ireland's fault :mad:

it’s not their fault, but the play should have been stopped instantly when the new ball was used. they can’t let it happen just because ireland scored, even if it does seem unfair.

this is very bad tempered all around isn’t it?! 🤣😬

I had booked a french restaurant for dinner on saturday night... with hindsight was probably not the best decision after the pasting England got (my husband was not thrilled with that result). France were just fantastic though, really upped their game and just look unstoppable.

Disappointed with Scotland yesterday, but not surprised. Ireland really deserved the win, just a shame that Scotland didn't put up more of a fight in the second half.

Its a rugby FEST today 🙂
Commentator...."Scotland are playing in pink today".
Looks more like lilac to me.
I'm afraid with Hogg and Russell both injured Italy may well be the winning team.
