Lucky?

Barrett is so so good. Read was the player of the series for me though.

I was being sarcastic hence the "for the millionth time" comment.

Barrett is such a good player, its a little terrifying looking at the New Zeland team to see the quality they have.

Phew, the all important losing bonus point secured by Wales there. May have taken nearly 100 mins but the boys did it, more proof, if needed, that Howley is the man for Wales and the Lions.

I can see that he didn't want to end the match with a penalty try but had France lost that would have been very unfair

Eh, to be honest they hosed up so many chances they'd only have themselves to blame if they lost.

Pity it wasn't a try though, would have been a good one and set up a great finish.

It's not been bad so far!

It was a decent enough match in the end no doubt because of Twelvetrees was back on the pitch. Cuthbert might be a complete idiot when it comes to international level but he's a good finisher for club level. Warburton and Moriarty were pretty good. Dunno what the hell Gloucester were wearing though, looked like the Chiefs shirt.

Was going to say it could be worse you could support the Dragons. But you probably went into this game thinking the Ospreys had a good chance of winning where as us Dragons fans know we're going to lose. Hope can be a terrible thing.

Are the Bulls the worst team in rugby? Discuss.

Depends if you count NH rugby as rugby. Which if you do then no, there is going to be a wonderful spacker fight today as my team the Dragons take on Italy's finest Zebra. Which is probably going to be about as good if a team of actual zebras took to the field v a team of mythical beasts that just weren't there.

The Ospreys could do with Biggar on the pitch HIA or no HIA. They've been terrible.

Time to watch the Dragons lose because they're functionally incapable if they're not playing in a sandpit.

I have to get that in now as the Scarlets will soon turn the Dragons to a smooth paste and win easily.

Evidently that massive, massive kicking by England really hurt the Scots chances in the eyes of Gatland. Surprised they only got two in the squad.

Wales always blow hot or cold there's very little consistency with them. Scotland are on the up at the moment and they're players are doing good things so I can imagine that the Scottish supporters feel very short changed.

Watching the Edinburgh v Dragons scrum and Edinburgh have been terrible, their scrum has been really poo poo house all night.

Having said that Edinburgh right back in it at 20-10 and the Dragons down to 14 for the rest of the game.
