Been great under the ball today and just makes good decisions.
Haven't always been a big fan but Aki was very good and Henshaw before he went off was huge.
Looking forward to England Scotland, hopefully Scotland can make it a right scrap.

That wind is something else. 
Dunno who’s coping with the conditions worse, the kickers or the bbc cameras.That wind is something else.
Hastings has been really poor.
Decent win from Ireland today. Still not sure what to make of the new era.
What are the odds of this one finishing on this scoreline

I'm watching Chiefs-Crusaders while waiting for Scotland-England to restart. I may have an obsession.

I have absolutely no clue how this game is going to end up.
England’s box kicks have been woeful
Fairly hilarious stuff so far.
As a neutral, it is. That's as bad as it gets.
Going for a record of kicks out on the full.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a game quite like this
It would have been horrendous for that to potentially decide it.
To be fair weather conditions are woeful.
A try in it with 2mins to go.

Right side won no complaints.
Good win for Ireland today. They pressed Wales hard from the very start.
The Scotland/England game was woeful viewing in horrible conditions. The Scots need to seriously reduce their errors to have any chance to avoid 4 losses.

Had enough of Townsend now. Time for him to go.
Same old story yet again. Why we got rid of Vern Cotter, I will never know?? Especially when VC didn’t want to leave in the 1st place which just makes it even more farcical!
Fair enough the conditions were dreadful (I stay in Edinburgh and this storm has been horrible so no surprises why there were so many wayward kicks) but have you ever seen a tier 1 nation make the same old countless errors like we do?

Early days but the Chiefs look like the team that ended last season, very solid in defense, disciplined and with a lethal backline but surprisingly this year the front 8 looks like it can match teams with big powerful forwards in the trenches.
What do you think so far @JPRouve
I liked everything at the exception of the decision to counter after the last italian kick, it's poor game management. Otherwise the attitude on defense is good and the attack is so far well organized.
Probably cursed you with that post, sorry
think France have moved the point of contact well in attack. Couple of dodgy decisions and unnecessary mistakes though
Yeah, Ntamack keeps picking the wrong option. It's a clear lack of experience.Probably cursed you with that post, sorry

A poor second half from France, too much indiscipline.
Weird game from the French alright. Sure they got the bonus point win but they looked like Jekyll & Hyde out there.
Their game against Wales is something to look forward to.

A sport run by old boys and clowns. Its not surprising.

Absolutely love that man. No better coach in rugby and his No.2 Nienaber is probably second best!
Absolute peak Carlos Spencer. Makes his own kick harder, gives the crowd a bit of stick (then slots the kick to deny Crusaders a bonus point)

I seriously can't hear a thing. The sound is terrible.
Rattez broke his fibula against Italy, he could be out for the remainder of the season.
Thats a shame. Any idea when Penaud is back?
He is in the team for the next game and Rattez is replaced by Ngandebe. That now makes 5 players from the MHRC playing for France, not bad for the "Foreign Legion".
It's infuriating mate. While watching with my brother and dad on Saturday I said the same, the decision to get rid of VC looks more and more clueless with each passing game.
Did Poite not state that he had seen the ball grounded but wanted to check to see if there was any knock on in the build up. The weird thing for me was if he has seen the grounding why not just ask the TMO the simple question is there any reason why I cannot allow the try?
No, what he asked actually made sense. He said that they saw the ball grounded but want to check the grounding.
