Unfortunately we didn't have your additional player, aka the ref

To be fair Jez I thought the ref was good - Cowan Dickie lost it by being a fucking bellend

I'll have to take your word for it. Just arrived in East Sussex in time to watch it after the clock went red. Of course you were robbed. Aussie was 'e?

Aussie was 'e?

Sounded like it.

Alfriston or Eastbourne?

I also enjoyed Nigel Owens contribution

Even though he’s a bum bandit

Near Wadhurst.

Near Wadhurst.

Nice spot

France Italy not expecting anything

But wouldn’t it be exciting if………

 

[Old Nick]

Italy just scored and gone into lead

 

[Old Nick]

Good first half for Italy

 

[DD67]

I want them both to lose

 

[Old Nick]

What on earth is Eddie Jones on now

Selection for Sundays game against Italy drop Sam Simmonds (again) for Dombrant, and put Maro Itojie one of the best second rows around at Flanker……

And he’s dropped Kyle Sinkler…

I think it’s acid

Cowan Dickie shouldn’t be on the bench either , he should be in the stock’s

I haven't got a problem with the Dombrant change. He's been scoring well for the quins. Strange move for Maro ? Suppose this is the ideal match to experiment a bit. Perhaps Jones is saving the other guys for the stiffer competitions to come.

In fairness Italy played well in the first half against the frogs last week.

 

[Old Nick]

Not sure it’s sensible using the Italy game as a place to try out new ideas anymore - they are closing the gap all the time and will cause an upset at any time……. probably against us on Sunday

Jones’s selection is getting more eccentric by the week

 

[Old Nick]

Oh dear, just seen that the Italian under 20’s beat the England under 20’s last night……..

 

[Old Nick]

Nice to see no one taking a knee during the anti racism statement in Wales v Scotland

Statements I’m happy with, knees a no no

 

[Old Nick]

Two great games today

Let’s hope tomorrows game is far more boring

 

[Amyamyam]

Great results for the tournament. All 4 home nations now lost a match each.

 

[Old Nick]

On a hiding to nothing against Italy

Hope this impending feeling of doom I have is apocalypse related and not rugby related
