EOYT Pt 4: 1pm Sco v Jap, Ita v Uru | 3.15pm Eng v SA | 5.30p Wal v Aus | 8p Fra v NZ | Sun 2.15p Ire v Arg

[sockwithaticket]

A disinterested France (we saw last night what they look like when they concentrate) with many changes put 40 points on Georgia. How are we considering them a serious and not Italy?

Georgia are complete shit, yeah. It's been a long time since they were realistically good enough to consider adding to the 6N.

[sockwithaticket]

Cracking score from Argentina. I hope they tear Ireland apart if only to stick it to Ferris. The smug prick. Why anyone pays him for punditry is beyond me.

[Slick]

This genuinely feels like WR have changed the laws overnight and you are now allowed to dive off your feet at the breakdown, Ireland at it at every one and the ref doing nothing.

Fair play to them for taking advantage but it’s bizarre

Watch Squidges take on the Ire v NZ game; we definitely go to school on the refs

[fishfoodie]

Is there such a thing as an double-red card ?

Because that dirty bastard just earned one

[Oxbow]

Least surprising red card ever.

[sockwithaticket]

Given his previous you'd have to imagine that'll be a long old ban.

[Tattie]

Needs to be a loooong ban for him, loads of previous. Very lucky there wasn’t a serious injury there.

[Big D]

Nice to see Mutchy(lead physio) still involved in rugby even with Ireland :-)

The physio practice(?) he was involved in/ran in Edinburgh was a great practice.

I will. It’s certainly not a criticism of Ireland, we could learn an awful lot!

[Marylandolorian]

Only just seen the game.

Quickly
- Dupont is god.
- Villiere is a freak for such a small guy and by f**k did Fra miss him
- I may have been wrong about Jaminet. Was superb.
- Ntamack had a blinder on attack and the only thing wrong was the insane decision to sub him and put Jalibert in an impossible position. Oh, and the f**king cynical yellow by NZ to prevent a wonder try.
- Like I said, Woki is essential for his lineout work and see what he can do in the loose.
- Danty is no Vakatawa but look what happened when that stupid experiment of 10 + 2nd 5/8th was dropped.

I'd add that Gael Fickou is one of the best players in the game at the moment

Mauvaka had a great game, like I said before, he’s ahead of Bourgarit and co.
Wasn’t sure about Woki playing 4, showed that he can be a good one.
Danty had his best game in blue.
It was good to put Jalibert in the last 10mn, at least to make him feel part of the team, same for Lucu.
I had a good feeling that they could win ( by 4 )

I bet this jersey will be in display in the family’s hotel

They are a bit, but they do seem to have the rugby infrastructure to improve rapidly if given a bit of an investment in time and money

Yup. Usual dick headshot

So I take it we’ve stopped keeping score of how many times the 6Ns teams have beaten the RC teams?

Is it just because the northern hemisphere is winning so much?

It was 5-4 RC v 6N last week. So adding in this week

RC 5-7 6N

The bad guys snatched victory in the dying minutes.

[OomStruisbaai]

We should do this in the June/July internationals aswell.

They won't win one. Send their 4th teams and get hammered year after year.

Off topic, saw the Springboks play two tests against the All Blacks in consecutive weekends. Meaning it will be either NZ or SA. Wish they can work a few mid week matches.

That’s what the Aussies said before England’s last tour there. That went well for them.

Ja they are the weakest point. They have Rennie, he'll fix them.

Not sure who is the dimmer: the player or the people who keep selecting him.

[assfly]

Congratulations England. Can't argue with 3 (very good) tries to 1.

Smith and Steward look like very bright stars for the future.

Was Smith really that good? I think he is very talented and that was a hell of a game for his first start (?) but I've read a lot this weekend about how amazing he was and I didn't really see that. To be clear, I'm not saying he is anything but a very talented young player, but there does seem to be an element of hype.

Steward was awesome and I think will be the difference in a good few games in the 6N. He was on Saturday.

Smith was OK, although I'll say he struggled a bit in the 2nd half when he was put under pressure.

But my opinion on him is also based on his Quins form. I hope he gets the 10 jersey for the 6N so he can really settle in.

Fair enough, I've never really seen him play for Quins. From an England point of view they definitely need to back him for the 6N.

[JM2K6]

Slick is always on the lookout for any sign of English hype - eyes like a hawk, that guy. Seems to have forgotten he thought Smith was the best 10 on the Lions tour mind.

Oh, and he has form with Smith

What are the Quins supporters views on young Marcus Smith?

I read he had quite a good game but the games I've seen him live (only 3 or 4) he has been pretty average with a few very good touches. He was meant to be the next big thing but is he?

This is not a troll.

[Paddington Bear]

Smith has to be commended for the way he handled the pressure and helped us come from behind. He hasn't cut apart anyone in the last two tests but then that can't be a surprise given how large the gap in standard between Tier 1 test sides and the Prem is.

What's striking though is how much fear he seemed to put into both SA and Australia. He's clearly being double marked which opens up a lot of opportunities with a second distributor.

Apologies all. Smith was utterly amazing, probably the best thing to come out of England and definitely the best to come out of Quins which is also the greatest rugby club in the world, like, eva.

There are some oligarch types in Georgia who are willing to invest in rugby, apparently. But there is also a certain amount of political risk which the 6N would have to take into account - the likelihood of coups, civil unrest etc. In playing terms they are way off being even at the standard of Italy and when Scotland became the first Tier 1 country to visit Georgia a couple of years ago they could only fill half the stadium. There is definitely more interest in the games they have against Russia.

Tbilisi is a decent weekend trip though.
