Yeah. I wanted a replay of that one
He does it all the time. Forearm to the throat of the tackler. Admittedly the tackle should be lower but it seems to be a bad technique from Aki.

You could not make it up. Ireland clear out from the side at nearly every ruck and Gardiner pings Willemse for it.

The TGV to Paris from the south coast travels faster today because he’s weighing down the north end of the country.
He only ever appears on screen at scrum or because someone runs into him.

Any danger of a pundit today taking time off from supporting their team to try and analyse the game? Jesus

Very good match. I missed the earlier game but hear it was a cripple fight. This is the business.

Other than Kayser, they are uniformly bad for it

My view. Ireland hanging on. Without Sexton no real attacking threat.

Where’s Benjamin Kaizer? I rate him as a pundit. He’s normally very fair to both teams.

Fair play to Ireland, they are doing everything they can. 3 is better than 7. France are ominous.

Irish tackling is very upright, plenty of hits that don't look far off collecting a card.

Worryingly, Ireland look more than good enough to beat England. France look good enough to humiliate them.

He plays smarter, not faster.
French did a caterpillar, and he stood way in front, waiting for the kick.

Still way in front after the kick was made, he made a desultory signal with his hands as if play had caught him offside.
Within a moment or two, the rest of the French team had surged past him.

Yeah, that's a RWC winning team out there. It wouldn't be an injustice to be further behind.

Both these teams look better than anything else in this competition - France at home is a frightening prospect.
