2023 Six Nations

[sturginho]

Odiase is an animal. Any frenchies can tell me how is he getting on at oyonnax?

[fishfoodie]

Glad to see Aki starting, think he is well past his best

If I was a Scot I'd be taking you out the back and beating the shit out of you for that mockers baiting!

But seriously, what evidence are you using between his performances last summer in the NZ series win and his excellent form in attack this 6N to base your opinion on?

Mainly that I don’t think he has been very good this 6N

He's been in the dog house at Connacht since he gave away the stupidest RC I think I've ever seen, & as a result he's played more minutes for Ireland, than he has for his Province.

[sturginho]

Match ends 29-25. An omen for tomorrow?

[JM2K6]

This Irish U20s side looks even better than those back-to-back JWC winning England sides of Billy Burns, Harry Sloan, Charlie Ewels, Gus Jones, Dom Barrow, Alex Day, Sam Hill et al. The future's green

[fishfoodie]

7 - 82 FT in Glasgow.

A rough night for the Scottish players, but the Irish look a scary team, & there's zero drop in performance when the bench comes on.

[Torquemada 1420]

This Eng team is dire. Making Fra look like world beaters.

[JM2K6]

Meanwhile, this England U20s side looks like they've never seen a rugby ball in their lives. Amazingly incompetent at times.

[Torquemada 1420]

FM. Softest pen/yellow this year.

Fuck me France #5 is about the size of 3 people

[Lobby]

Fuck me France #5 is about the size of 3 people

He’s a Tuilagi

Posolo Tuilagi? He's actually a backrow for USAP. I've never seen him last more than 20 mins without blowing out of his arse which shows how poor Eng has been. Spiritual heir to Atonio,

Just the one?

[Torquemada 1420]

For a reasonably regular T14 starter, Bielle-Biarrey has been sh*te in this comp.

[Ymx]

Fuck me France #5 is about the size of 3 people

Posolo TUILAGI is a 18-year-old Samoan rugby player standing at 1.92 m tall (6 ft 4 in) and weighing in at 149 kg (23 st 6.49 lb; 328.49 lb)

149kg !!!!

Henry is his dad. The Tuilagi that looks like he ate the other Tuilagi's, despite not being the tallest.

Is it possible he's actually conjoined twins sharing a thumb or something ?

[JM2K6]

Deserved score. England are slow, stupid, and look entirely uncoahced. I miss the days before our U20s setup was sabotaged.

[ASMO]

England are just a poor side, this is not even a competition. God only knows how many Ireland will put on them next week

[Torquemada 1420]

Interesting. I rate Carbonneau and wasn't that happy seeing Jauneau selected because he's looked weak playing for ASM (even if he has the right name). But he's been excellent tonight. Bit of a golden era for SHs in Fra at the moment.

[ASMO]

1 in every 3 tackles missed is a fucking disgrace at this level, indeed at any level

[Torquemada 1420]

Nouchi has been an absolute monster tonight. Superb performance.

[fishfoodie]

Haven't seen much of the Eng v Fra game, but has it been an forwards smashing forwards affair, or have the backs had a look jn ?

[Torquemada 1420]

BTW, Gailleton, the 12 who has caused Eng all sorts of trouble, was born in Croydon.

[Torquemada 1420]

This is a hammering.

[Torquemada 1420]

These Eng lads should spend less time chopsing and playing the hardman and maybe practice some handling and tackling.

[ASMO]

Utterly abject display

[Torquemada 1420]

Reus showing why you should carry in both hands

[fishfoodie]

Three games that neatly validate the adage that forwards win games, & backs decide by how much !

[Torquemada 1420]

Utterly abject display

Somehow fitting it's at Bath.

[JM2K6]

Fair play, England. Most sides would've lost their way, but this English side didn't stop embarrassing themselves until the final whistle. Great commitment to playing like useless twats.

In all seriousness, I hope this lot aren't a true reflection of what's coming through for Eng. To repeat, this is not a vintage Fre team. In fact, the side that started Rd1 looked a mess.

You're OK. Your captain says you'll come out firing against Ire....

Mainly that I don’t think he has been very good this 6N

He was excellent in attack against Italy. Fine off the bench against the other two. He was very average defensively against Italy but was playing out of position. Honestly not sure where you're coming from, looks like mockers baiting at best.

It’s OK mate, I just said I didn’t think an Irish player had been playing that well, haven’t firebombed Dublin. Jesus

[laurent]

Wow never seen the English U20 take such a pasting.

Looks like the Irish are all set to slam the U20 and unless there is a miracle the senior side too.

Looks like the heavy rotation cost France as this front row is the best they fielded till now.

This year is the better year, with France & England at home; it makes for very lob sided tournaments, when we have the two strongest sides both at home, or away.

Agree. The rotation only seems to have found a good balance across the park now.

It's more entertaining than a forward slug fest, except if you are English.
