Now half the posts don't make sense.

Although that's probably normal anyway. Carry on.

I'd rate him as a reliable if completely unspectacular option, and there's always a need for guys like that in your side provided you are getting your attacking spark elsewhere, like Cuthbert.

That's probably why he's been dropped from the matchday squad then?
To be fair he had a cracking match for Sarries against Tigers at the weekend

Not on the pitch but the HIA protocols are quite strict.
Francis should have stayed off yes but who are we to comment on the results of the ongoing HIA assessments?
Imho Francis should not play but I have no idea about the results of the ongoing assessments

Nice win for les bleuets this evening.

I heard that there are plenty of tickets trying to sell in France. The French will outnumber the Welsh.


I have a strange feeling about this game. First Fickou and Aldritt get the "flu". Then Taofifenua and Penaud catch COVID. I hope there will be no more surprises and that all will be at 100%


Biggar will do to France what no other team has done so far: kick us to death. High ball after high ball, to test Jaminet's resolve and Moefana's lack of experience.

The French have not opted for their usual 6-2 bench meaning they won't rotate the whole front 5 after 55min and that our pack will be much lighter in the second half.

Drove past on the way home and thought about hanging around for the match but too tired for a 4 hr drive home later. Old age is a bitch.

And after the anthems we get a big Welcome To The Jungle intro.

Hard to see anything other than a French victory tonight. They’ve got great speed from the breakdown. They’ll run Wales ragged.
