Just watched the French game, France had a mare.

Horrible discipline, sluggish forwards, no structure (it looked like Sevens at times!) in attack and the score is fair.

Must be a record number of cards too.

Watched the highlights of the baby Boks. I think they will be too powerful up front for our babies.

Did someone inform the Georgians it's u20s? Half of them look mid twenties!

The other half look 30+...

So the Georgian player takes a blow to the head in a tackle that is not looked into, then the ref restarts with a scrum and penalies the Georgians who end up leaking 3pts...

I think it will happen and this format will also get the Georgians involved. You can consider yourself honory NHs when you can start to eat with cutlery. :thumbup:

That format is actually pretty good. Would that involve relegation/promotion?

Doubt it. Even this will get some people spluttering into their g&ts about new fangled rubbish and it was fine for my father, my father’s father and my father’s father’s farter. .
Edit: was going to change last typo then thought it was best left.

Steady on. If that's the measure, we would have to get rid of the Welsh and Irish.

Problem with this format is that not everyone plays everyone, so you could end up with a 6 nations (8 nations) with no calcutta cup

You could offer better chances by top 4 qualifying with semis and the rest playing for bragging rights like in a sevens tournament. That often happens most years anyway after a few rounds and doesn’t alter the intensity.

Gailleton is a future star. I expect Tixeront to shine in the future as well. Bielle-Biarrey impressed me in his first European cup game. There are some talented lads in this squad.

Stephens or Bracken should have dinked that ahead for a footrace into the right hand corner rather than going left.
