Re: 6 Nations Round 4 - Italy v Scotland

Decent half of rugby, you hardly notice breaks in play when you switch to watching sex tourism by western 50 somethings at the bar. Italy are so frustrating to watch, they do 90% right then do something colossally stupid that was totally avoidable. The Christie interception being case in point They...

Re: France

Most coaches view Italy as a potential springboard to greater things rather than actually wanting to sort Italy out I think. It's why they should have tried to stick with O'Shea. He might not have been getting it done for them on field (who has?), but he seemed invested in sorting out their structu...

Re: France

Dupont's reputation is growing, even in his absence and rightly so. I thought there would be a difference without him, but not this much - he was absolutely ripping it up with Toulouse prior to going to the 7s. There's obviously more to it than that, but I think it's a significant factor. Also - wh...

There is some absolutely classic big team/small team refereeing going on here, so frustrating Last ruck a perfect example.

This game is going to introduce the concept of Christoph Ridley’s refereeing to a non-Premiership audience.
