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?

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!!!

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

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.

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