Italy really screwed their own result today with the cards.
Ireland lucky to get away with this result - they've regressed over the tournament.

Perhaps, a lot of open space there though.
Be nice to score a try that isn't from a maul.

Re: 2025 6N thread
The commentary on S4c has been disgusting, constant sniping and complaining about the ref. And that's with Wales winning. Ritchie Rees and some other fella
Even if he's not had a perfect match, there are some standards in rugby to uphold. And standards in commentary as well.

Re: President Trump and US politics catchall
Too late now. A modest increase in defence spending particularly around industry in 2014 followed by a more substantial boost in 2022 may have given us the chance to run a different course. Plus of course a weaning or never being so beholden to Russian energy in the first place. From where we are n...

Glad to get a win, but still a rusty performance. Giving away 2 tries in the last 10 minutes is really poor. I've said it before and I was hoping to never to have to say it again, but Connor Murray can feck right off. Great defence by England, but not much else. Surprised to see the amount of tries ...

daft question- how many of the Leinster starting XV are usually centres? commentators making the point now -they're big feckers. Not doing much good for them as they haven't a clue what they are doing. Defensively they seem very confused, several errors already. JGP's eye/cheek looks pretty bad!

There'd be a lot of red cards in rugby if that's how we're going to ref the game.

Ireland not showing much attack till the 39th minute.
