Are ITV cheating by using the same photo for both Currys?

Huw Jones's strong Scottish brogue makes it difficult to understand some of his words.

He should be, especially now he's scored a few with Sione not around to feed him. Whether he will be is a different matter, but he should be. Much more than Finn unless he gets his sh1t together.

I would say he doesn't single handedly unlock defences as much a he used to. Now relies on his reading off the game to be in the right place.

He used to be guilty of holding onto the ball and making poor decisions of when to pass (and not being great at it either). He's improved that a lot, still prefers an offload to a pass but it's not a weakness any more

Hard to understand why any producer would think the horrible little prick is a good choice.

Was just thinking the same thing. Same commentators were nailing him (rightly) when he was coach of Eng and now they are sucking up to him.

Listening to this, the Welsh can cling to one thing: their national anthem isn't sh*te.

F**king embarrassing performance.

Freeman's just not fast enough out wide, off the Smith break any winger worth his salt would have tested the defences pace.

I have to put it on mute. There are few songs I really hate, but that is one of them.

Previously I forced myself to sing "My country tis of thee" to the tune, but it doesn't always work.

Kick for the corner was a very poor choice.

Oh, and now we shit the lineout.

If that is an Ireland thrown surely it means hands in the ruck from Earl.

Good kick by Slade. The tactic is working so far, all Ireland have been able to do is belt it in the air under pressure.

Blood replacement is so shameless that not even the Indian cricket team would sink that low.
