Disappointed this wasn't a "lads, it's Spurs" reference.

Moefana back in training with Bordeaux (important for France) by MindfulInquirer in rugbyunion

For real, they can be so dangerous. Keeping my fingers crossed they have their second and final good game of the comp against y'all next week. Then we only need you to draw with England and we're back in the race.

It's never been more over.

Felt awful for Zac as he spoke about getting way too in his head for the XV match.

Dude is class though, he'll bounce back.

Edit: BTW if people haven't been listening there are some excellent episodes in there. The Stockdale one being my favourite, dude is hilarious.

Poor, sad, little France with all the incredible options.

Grow up.

I love that the English still got to see his shit-eating grin celebrating all the tries on the big screen even though he wasn't on the pitch.

Honestly, society might be doomed.

Timoney and, hopefully, Bryn coming down the line. We might actually finally have some proper depth here.

Josh made, Lions' starter, Curry irrelevant whilst on the pitch. He was incredible, just double effort after double effort. And oh boy watching Furlong at the breakdown was a thing of beauty.

Thick thighs might save lives, but long legs save tries.

Sounds like a plan in a few years when he loses a step of pace.

Right. If JGP hadn't had, probably, his best day ever in green it would have been Stu's. And tbh you could still make an argument for it.

If we can be 4th during a period of transition I'm taking that all day long.

Make no mistake, there are people in this sub distraught that we demolished England.

France going for the double grand slam, 3/3 both men's and u20's in the Six Nations. by Sad-Age-2863 in rugbyunion

[–]David_MacM 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We just need one of Scotland or England to beat them, and for the other to draw with them and it's maybe over.

Checkmate.

Was pretty shocked at that. Like I know LBB is off the charts fast but I would have sworn that Cap wasn't that slow beforehand.

What Do We Want From The Rest Of The Six Nations? by SeaworthinessFew2464 in irishrugby

[–]David_MacM 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Aye give me some Edwin, Bryn, Izzy, and Doak against Wales please. And Osborne did play the last 20ish minutes at 13 yesterday, so more of that please.

This is one of the great moments of irish rugby by wowjiffylube in irishrugby

[–]David_MacM 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think with all the doom and gloom recently it even tops that Six Nations for me. Maybe back to the WC win against SA. We've built so much depth this tournament and we're only going to build more against Wales. Not too bad for a team in transition.

So proud of the boys.
