That French team looks really promising. Danty and Fickou could do some serious damage if they gel but even as individual players they're both capable of creating something. Starting Vakatawa is a potential disaster though, he's been exclusively playing sevens for two years now

Ireland team is very disappointing, this is a great chance to introduce some new players into the 23 and try out some new combinations. Instead we're going to learn absolutely nothing outside of the back row

I don't think D'Arcy's done much tv work, if any. He's a great writer so hopefully that translates well to tv. If he's any good my dreams of Shane Horgan being replaced on sky and rte may finally come true

Sexton is going to be rugby's own Chris Benoit and it's an absolute loving joke that he's still being allowed play Ireland still don't score enough in the second half There's the makings of a far better team in Jackson and McCloskey sitting on the bench in Ravenhill and they'll probably stay there for the entire competition since the totally valid return to play protocols will have Sexton back playing before he can even remember who he plays for Jamie Roberts is so loving good

Connacht outhalf Jack Carty will possibly miss the rest of the season after rupturing his spleen in an accident on a slide in a water park in Dubai. That has to be up there with Euan Murray nearly cutting his thumb off with an axe.

Vagabundo posted:Oh piss off. McCaw was amazing at pushing the boundaries and didn't do any more than any good openside should. In more recent years, half the bitching seems to be him being "offside," when more often than not, he was the cunting tackler to begin with - case in point the Ireland test in 2010 where Jamie Heaslip became a dumbshit and got himself sent off like an idiot. to quote our dear football subforum, nice meltdown

Warburton was unlucky in that the irb had told referees to be particularly strict on tip tackles before the world cup. As with any other time the irb decide to strictly enforce one rule, the refs get more lenient after a while, like what we've seen with clearouts around the neck since the last world cup. You can also see that phenomenon in the treatment of contact in the air after Jared Payne's red card in the 2014 Heineken Cup I don't know what the deal is with citing commissions. The same act could get you nothing at international level, a yellow in the Pro 12 and a ban in the Champions Cup. tag youre fat fucked around with this message at 01:14 on Mar 15, 2016 |

A lot of errors now, some of the players look very tired which is fair enough in this heat. I think one of the players just had to tell the ref he stands under the posts when giving a penalty try

Despite Rodney Ah You's best efforts to show how well he'll fit into Ulster next year by bottling a playoff Connacht have beaten Glasgow and face Leinster in the final of the Pro 12 next week. Once again Bundee Aki was man of the match, he's been the star of the team the whole year and it's going to be such a disappointment when a French team signs him away. I'd love for Connacht to win next week but if there's one thing Leinster have shown over the last few years it's that they know how to beat teams that play better rugby than them.

I'm getting it again next month, so want to know if I should let myself get excited. A lot of people complain about the commentary on BT but as long as it's not a Saracens match it's no worse than what you'd get on Sky.

The only team playing any NH rugby here are Australia on defence. Every time England get to their 22 they flood the breakdown and spoil any ball England could have, and Poite is lenient enough to let them away with a lot of it.
