Re: What's going on in Ukraine?

I was assuming, particularly with the context of the other names on the list, that it's because France haven't actually given all that much to assist Ukraine thus far and Macron's recent tough guy language ...

Re: 6 Nations round 5 - France v England
Yep - France pose a very different set of problems than Ireland. However, their win in Wales eventually came down to overpowering them in the last 15 - with the Welsh subs unable to cope. England should be able to manage that period better - they are stronger and fitter than the Welsh side with big...
