Why take Woki off FFS. Get Cros off and move Woki back into flank.

He really is. Pulls things out in situations he has no right to draw anything positive from.

Are Ireland actually trying to claim the ref got in their way there?
And are there two g’s in Bugger Off?

Counter ruck and hooked it back?

Waddled like a duck up to that tackle. A massive duck but not much faster.

The amazing thing is he really is the thickest player in the Fre team. We are talking 3 short planks' worth. It's all natural ability and he's the only Clermont player who hasn't turned to sh*t in the last 18 month possibly because he can't follow the coaches!!!

Not happy that POM is still out there. He was sparked, no question.

He just does it all the time. Absolute diamond of a player and invaluable in defence which is why Thomas is gone.

Aki knew exactly what his elbow was doing, but it could be called legit in the circumstances.

I guess that's the benefit of a 7s background where you need those extras a 15s player in the same position might not have had to develop.

I think it’s a tribute to how much he has worked at his game. Saw this last week.

No release from the French. Clear Irish penalty rather than legitimate turnover.

Furlong gets absolutely battered in contact. "Admirable" says Harrison. What?

Never heard a ref advise a player to keep his shoulder in the ruck before.

Eddie Jones won't take Ben Youngs off. France willing to sub Dupont in a game this tight. Yeesh

What is with refs no longer penalising players for catching the ball from their own side's knock on? Has there been a directive?

Yes. THIS. Same at the start of the Welsh game.

And takes Woki off FFS. Retarded coaching.

Should be a yellow for Doris. Blatant interference on the floor to kill an attack.

I just can't understand the tactic, invariably concede possession for little territory.
