Tries from the tighthead and the tighthead sub. That's taking the piss.

Wales might be all over the shop, but Ford taking it to the line and releasing a runner is something I will miss when he's gone.

I like how this site errs on the side of kindness, it's like a rugby mumsnet
Carnage.
Well done, England. They've been building nicely through the tournament and played with real focus and accuracy today.
Hawera-born Blair Murray was pretty much the only shining light for poor old Wales.
Looking forward to the final game. Scotland have had their moments, but I'm hoping France can win it, without Dupont. They'd already have it in the bag if not for their shockingly poor loss to England. Wonder which France will turn up today.

That was vintage New Zealand levels of putting a team to the sword.
The old way to make Fois Gras was to get the goose and force feed it with a kind of funnel and corkscrew arrangement, forcing food down the neck of the bird. They would be given salted water to keep them thirsty and so drinking in order to get more food down them.
Then there was the method of catching small birds in a net and the whole bird would be eaten, soft bones and all, you eat under a cloth.
I think France will dine on Scotland like that tonight, but we will see it all.

I'll be happy if we keep it respectable and show half the guts the U20's showed last night.Tichtheid wrote: Sat Mar 15, 2025 6:44 pm The old way to make Fois Gras was to get the goose and force feed it with a kind of funnel and corkscrew arrangement, forcing food down the neck of the bird.

This has exorcised a number of Cardiff demons from my soul. Can’t pretend to have not enjoyed a second of that
C’mon the Scots

I am not going to pretend to have felt any sympathy for AWJ.Lady P wrote: Sat Mar 15, 2025 6:49 pm I almost felt for AWJ when Gabby asked him about Itoje as Lions captain then. He was very diplomatic (and also quite right)
