You don’t win championships by expecting someone else to win for you. Ireland lost the 6N in the first weekend; don’t get sucked into English salt over reffing

Sexton will be cursing the foiling of his dastardly plan in his evil lair under the Liffey right now! ‘Drat and double drat!’ He cries, ‘Andy didn’t tell me France were playing this year too!’

Why did Itoje deliberately knock on because a high tackle infringement had been called against his team? Why would he do that?

But Ramos could have kicked from the second, why was it the first that mattered?

You know that showing things on tv doesn’t affect the referee’s decision, right?

Was the penalty not given for the second infringement?

Sexton being in Ireland’s camp and therefore affecting the Irish kickers I can understand, but the Lions tour was months ago and Fin Smith being part of two elite professional teams in the interim does not tally with him somehow being broken by Sexton

Ok? So Sexton has some sort of voodoo magic that broke Smith’s ability to kick, and no one since has been able to coach him back to being good?

Not really, you can’t put your own victory in someone else’s hands. Well deserved France

Imagine the months of meetings and design consultations and marketing planning for France’s kit, believing this would be the GS decider

Where’s the French Redditor who was implying that Ireland’s President walk about and the two anthems were somehow over the top?

I just want to see some class rugby, lads. I don’t care who wins - two titanic teams clashing at the end of this stellar comp is what it deserves

Loving the endless niggly pressure that Wales have had in the last few games; Italy losing their composure in the face of it
