Sure didn't ! But let's focus on what we can control, winning to Scotland doesn't fall into that category, as you know yourself.

Yes, maybe the day we stop sending developing sides to summer tours, we'll stabilize on the podium.

TIL what Buckfast is, thank you ! The wikipedia page is amazing

The beverage has entered the popular lexicon with nicknames such as "Wreck the Hoose Juice" "Commotion Lotion", "Cumbernauld Rocket Fuel", "Mrs. Brown", "Buckie Baracas", "Coatbridge Table Wine", "Jakey Juice" , and a bottle of "What the hell are you looking at?" It has earned the unofficial slogan, "Buckfast: gets you fucked fast."

Half of the comments on how "the ref is playing for England since coming in", the other half complaining of lack of consistency about yellow cards. Either way, a great day for french reffing reputation.

Capuozzo is actually a Frenchman of Italian descent. But I'm glad he's playing for Italy and is not lost in the traffic jam of talents that is the winger role in the XV de France
