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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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