Good for Itoje with his debut promising young player

Blomme need 10 to win off 42 balls.

AB de Villies has just scored his ton.

Itoje seems a bit of a hybrid player quite big for a flanker but a bit short by modern standards for a lock

grootblousmile on 14 February 2016 at 5:23 pm

My Bru pick for the game was England by 15… it is 16 now.

IMHO The standard of Rugby in the 6N has been utterly k@k thus far.

Ireland snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, with Jaco Pyper showing that he needs to grow a pair.

He should have carded at least 2 Frogs but was probably intimidated by the home crowd.

The Frogs played an utterly dirty game.

Scotland also managed to turn a decent game into a disappointing defeat and allow the Taffy Bastids in to get their first win.

When oh when are the 6N going to adopt the 4 point for a win with bonus points for tries and losing within 7?

FFS, get your arses into the 21st Century!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, and well done to the Bulls on their win in Polokwane.
