France struggle to beat Scotland. 15 -5 Seriously not one of the Scottish players is better then the French counterpart however tactics/coaching is appalling on french side and fairly decent on the Scottish end makes for a tight game. PS also there is U18 festival. https://www.youtube.com/@sixnation...

French team for Scotland.

Worse then; to be honest that number 8 is chunky.

I've heard it's under review for a complete ban, long overdue imo. 8/10, it's already too late as defender has hands on ball so should be a steal or pen (though I also think long reaches for jackals should be banned too as most can't actually pick up the ball). I've seen a clip of it and it's nasty...

Clear red for me.

It’s dangerous play to start with. The result is expected. It won't happen every time but often enough.

Hopefully we've finally got our giant for our u12s. Plenty of sides have a "surely he's not 12" player, now we might have one. None of the girls in our teams are on the large side - and size is a huge advantage at age group rugby. On the other hand, it does make the 'less large' teams rel...

Finally some French binationals may be taken to task .

A few appear in Videos where Palestinians were clearly tortured.

Looks like they won't be coming home to France if they want to avoid a trial.

Scotland the better attacking side but wales causing them a lot of issues in the ruck.

French TV has the Other game on streaming :)

Not a great showing for France winning 38 - 17

Too many handling errors. Too many silly passes (the irish second try is a direct shit pass in 22).

I doubt they can challenge England from this showing.

EMC buying VMware went pretty well. There are others. My last company got bought by HP. Exactly what you say above happened. HP took all the efficient processes and replaced them with HP's 30 year old dinosaur way of working. Things that used to take 90 seconds started taking 2-3 weeks. I have neve...

In a previous life I was interested in tools to capture and represent engineering information, and I remember looking into the tools Autonomy were putting together. These always seemed to promise a lot but actually do very little, in the rare cases I saw it used. It turns out that it probably alway...

Clicked on an Instagram post this morning about the tournament and quite depressing to see all the shit and agro comments, literally every one, was from men. The reason I really like the women's game is that there isn't any of this shit. Yep a lot of that about and honestly, some of the women's gam...

France already lost their Fly half (Caroline Drouin is out) Out for the tournament. She was the only 7s player joining the XV, so that may also be worrying news also for the 7s national team. On the 7's side We had Chloé Pelle Ref our U18 Girls last week :clap: here is the team https://api.www.ffr....

No, I was talking about how the six nations is a mediocre comp because the participants have only won 1 world cup compared to the RC nations. Is that that hard to comprehend?

The plan was to get the U14 too but that did not pan out

Hoping Healy will finally head for a season or two in AIL to get some experience

French look massive. Have England just made them runaround too much? Nah they are stupid and actually can't defend the maul (have been for the whole tournament) The lineout looks a bit wobbly too. Some very good French tries though. Trouble is giving a single penalty almost always results in a try ...

Game over

They are so fucking stupid ...

FFS another 0 Pass for england

Really annoying.

Stop the stupid penalties ...

And a serie of stupid penalties leads to an English try 21 - 12

I don't think you should be able to penalise someone for not rolling away after being flattened in the tackle by and then stuck under Posolo Tuilagi. It's like asking someone to roll out from beneath an elephant. Consistent there he penalised a french player for the same earlier. Good crazy try :cl...

here you go (if not geoblocked)

Gazzoti was part of the U20 that won the WC last year. Tuilagi is more of a poach (even if he isn't) I think JM was having a jab, even tho I’m not sure with the perfidious albionais , but yeah Gazzoti was born in France from a French father and Tuilagi was also born in France. Actually surprised th...

The team

Someone said there's 190 T14 + ProD2 caps in that team before Tuilagi was added (and he has 3 appearances for the national side already!) Mad stuff To be clear, I think that's an excellent stat. I raise my eyebrows a bit about guys with senior caps playing u20 but the number of club appearances spe...

French for les escalopes

I had a look. Apparently the youngest of the Bermuda POWs was aged 6. Given that there is significant literature stating that boys from the age of 12 were supporting the kommandos I would expect there to be quite a few early teens captured and imprisoned, and I would not be in the slightest surpris...
