Clive Woodward just said “they need to stop kicking the ball away and play some rugby”.

I rest my case
Is Youngs going to win this match on his own 
Virgin Media's crowd sounds on Irish telly so awful again this weekend 
They seem totally random.
They seem totally random.Yeah, we were dreadful. Was a poor game in general but Scotland deserved their win.Missed the match as I was out training with my lad. Were Wales totally awful? I’ve a work colleague who’s a very passionate Welshman and I think commiserations might be in order
Is this what happens without Tuilagi? We can’t break down Italy. I’m fecking raging at our attacking play
I’m gonna save the gloating whilst England are playing shite
Feels like Italy's meagre chance is gone now.
Is it just my imagination or are England offside most of the time?
How on earth is he meant to wrap his arms in that situation, the ball carrier is literally
a foot or 2 off the ground. Absolutely bollocks
a foot or 2 off the ground. Absolutely bollocks
Italy love cheering when they're losing don't they.
Get the feck in. BP secured
So Ireland need to beat France by 7 to win the 6N, and France need a BP win by 31?
Italy seemed incredibly whiny and moany today.
A 6 point win will do it for us as we've scored more tries.
I'd have bitten your hand off for that this morning.
Yeah, a totally unexpected scenario. I still think it'll be very, very hard for us to beat this French team at home.
Edit: Although @JPRouve will probably disagree and say France are gonna France it
The fact that France need to score 30 odd points can either work in our favour, or see us take an absolute hiding!Yeah, a totally unexpected scenario. I still think it'll be very, very hard for us to beat this French team at home.
Edit: Although @JPRouve will probably disagree and say France are gonna France it
That was two hilariously woeful versions of those anthems The poor players.
The poor players.It’s very doable for Ireland. Way more so than it should be, we fecked it against Italy big time
Allez les blues
That was way too easy for France.
Great score, but can you knock it back into play if you've stepped out of play? He looked like he was over the line when he jumped to knock it back in.
It's such a silly rule, tbf.
Well, he would have caught it and scored if he hadn't batted it out.
Edit: Hmmmmm I thought they would have given that.
Yes I know, I just disagree with the rule. You should be able to knock it wherever you want to defend a try.
Yeah, it does end up with some silly situations.
Yes, as long as he doesn’t land outside
If Bouthier doesn't try to volley the ball out but touch it, it's a knock on from the irish player. So it's not exactly true to claim that he would have scored, Bouthier just did something stupid and unnecessary.
I'd say we were somewhere between average and shite.Missed the match as I was out training with my lad. Were Wales totally awful? I’ve a work colleague who’s a very passionate Welshman and I think commiserations might be in order
Phew, Ireland really needed to get something from that yellow.
Stockdale is having a poor match.
Looking shaky Ireland especially in defence. Not been the pulsating game I thought this was going to be though
We never play well when Wayne the Whistler Barnes is in charge.
Waiting for the french to capitulate
Waiting for the french to capitulate
Yeah, always a feeling of trepidation when I hear he's going to be in charge.
Oof. Ireland probably should have kicked that penalty.
Wondering if your money was well spent?
What a stupid mistake by Sexton not to go for the points there
Surprised they didn’t take 3 points there
Can only think that they don’t fancy winning but they reckon they can get 4 triesWhat a stupid mistake by Sexton not to go for the points there
They only need to win by 6 points, take your points and only need a try to win the Championship. Winning a second half in Paris by 10 points is extremely difficult to navigate
Really get the feeling that Ireland aren't going to do this
