Rugby

Good to see Ireland buckling under pressure again. Genuinely pleased England won, they deserved it. George Martin makes a massive difference! Feyi-Waboso looks like he could be a serious test winger for the next decade, oozes class.

Keith Earl. Again and again.

Also Furbank looks handy.

Bootcut brigade is satisfied.

Keith Earl. Again and again.

Ben...?

Ha. More salt! 🤣

great weekend of 6N rugby that. Three very enjoyable matches

The Scottish result trashed my fantasy scores this wk.

My selections trashed it, as they have for the last few weeks!! I clearly haven’t paid enough attention this year having finally got around to understanding the nuances of the previous scoring system so I need to get to grips with this new format where clearly points are harder to come by - 500,600,700 plus point matchweeks used to be commonplace (I once neared 1000) but I think it’s probably better and requires more study with the new format

I've lost touch with 1st place this week, need an inspired captain next week to go back to back

Or a supersub with a try or two

Loved the Italy game, not been that invested as a neutral for ages.
Wales showed some promise and had a good hour, then shit the bed and were punished for it.

After pathetic supersub selections (Dan and I F-W previously who then came good as SS after) I went for the safe 20 points of Ramos as SS - very dull

Yup. My banking on Irish maul tries has dried up also. Kelleher with a massive 2 points tripled to 6!

Oh yeah, forgot about the fantasy thing. Don't think I ever set a captain or super sub, and never made any changes to my team. Do you need an address to send my winnings to?

Not the result I wanted.
Welled up a bit with George North being carried off, one of the all timers.
Flashes of hope for the future, but clearly needs to settle the squad and get some more caps on the youngsters heads.

Was a shame but he’s has an amazing career and is so well regarded by all rugby fans

Fantastic for Italy. What a 6 nations they've had.

They really should be ahead of England as things stand. Crazy to think.

They're looking pretty good in the age groups too, so hopefully they continue this upward curve.

fantastic from Italy. Close from Scotland, but they didn’t deserve to win. They should be confident they can beat anyone when they’re firing though

A happy Irish-Italian household here this evening. Seems a bit incongruous that Italy are still 5th after all they've done.

Wales were utterly fucking dreadful today - those couple of late tries put a totally undeserved gloss on that. Scotland defended well, but that should have been a 15-20 point second half.

This is a great game. England looking surprisingly decent.

My blood pressure...

Thought that was a good England performance, if not a little ragged at times in gifting France points on multiple occasions. France's physicality really pulled them back into the game and kept them in it when it looked like England could pull away.

Lot of close games this year, shame there wasn't much riding on the last day. France 2nd and Italy 5th seems a bit wrong, looking at performances.

Should get rid of the bonus point nonsense.

You were spot on, it was the early injury to Furbank that was the luck I needed.
