@ Blue Bird:Theres certainly a lot of talent out there
France gets another penalty on their own 10m line.
Jeez, my Bru pick is far to light!
McLean’s had a pretty shoddy game so far
I see a fan died yesterday at Murrayfield… wonder if the pitch worms got to him…

@ Just For Kicks:
Just need the Dads to show their daughters how to pass a rugby ball, how to tackle and how to bat and bowl….. Include them when playing with the boys. The naturals will want to get involved.
Italy is like Argentina, they can match most teams in the forwards, but they can’t score tries because their backline lacks oomph.
@ grootblousmile:
Hey, that’ sad. Perhaps it was the deep fired mars bars or the haggis that did for him in the end.
Try France… intercept… and they run it all the way, passing twice more.
Bonneval
Poor French rugby gifts Italy the ball on attack, only to get it back with the intercept, to end in a great try that deceives the quality of rugby up to now
France 30 / 3 Italy
Italy have gone to pieces and France are starting to run up a cricket score.
France now need 1 more try for a bonus point
@ Blue Bird:
I think I now know the problems with womens rugby – how can they bat and bowl without a decent bat or ball!
@ Blue Bird:
Yip, society should stop brainwashing women into just fashion and beauty.
Come on Italy, make a fist of it!
No Italian support this side
Italy 5m out… they come back for a penalty
Italy go for touch, they basically have no choice but to do so, so far behind on the board
France penalty, a relieving one
Arghhhh, a knock by Italy…. they just don’t want it!
I see Cricket SA bent over and took one for the ‘Big 3’ for a pocket full of Judas change. They will come to rue that decision in the future – Instant gratification is always short lived
Hello everyone here
141 @ Just For Kicks:
One up the riempie… just as toothless as SARU
All 3 winning teams this weekend won by margins of 20 plus.
That’s quite unusual in top flight rugby
