This new french team reminds me the old version of Australia. Every possession can end with a try.

Deserved win for France. Look a young, energetic side with plenty more to build on. What price are they to win the 2023 World Cup?

Really disappointing way to lose it for Ireland. The upsides are the players who've gotten debuts over the past two matches, the downsides are the way we fell apart and another season going by with not giving new players a chance at 9 and 10.

Sexton shaking his head going off? Fairly toxic stuff.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY CHAMPIONS :D

Thank you France for the little help :)
Because we were really just average against Italy.

Credit to Eddie Jones and his team because 3x Six Nations titles in five years and to be runners-up at the World Cup (with the outstanding performance against New Zealand in the semi-final) is a fantastic achievement.

What is farrell at?

How is cooney not in the squad for the autumn internationals.

He was probably the best player in Ireland before covid kicked in and hasnt got a look in.

In a match that contained nearly as many cards as one's birthday, the Wallabies have beaten the All Blacks 24-22. Good result after last week's horrow show. Now, I don't want to be a party pooper but where was that effort last week when the Bledisloe Cup was on the line?

A real lowlight was Tim Horan and Phil Kearns wanting both red cards to be yellow cards and thus encouraging the referee to make the wrong call just to preserve the spectacle. If you feel that way boys, watch NRL where dangerous high tackles are dealt with via a slap on the wrist basically.
