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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
