Rugby A Game For Gentlemen

The above draw means the NZ and SA are likely to meet in the QF.

Kiwis and Saffers on the internets all losing it and claiming a fixed draw!

NZ losing it,
Following last seasons review the head coach has been sacked.
I think this is the first time this has happened, normally coaches see out their contracts and there is a line of succession.
It is the biggest job in NZ sport , the internets are going crazy.

Six Nations gets under way tonight with FRA v IRE

This could be the closest tournament in years.
I think France have the edge as they have both Ireland and England at home.

My prediction

  1. France
  2. England
  3. Ireland
  4. Scotland
  5. Italy
  6. Wales

Think I agree with that table.

Was hoping to take FoL#2 Lauren to Paris for FRA v ENG for her 21st, but our days off didn’t work out unfortunately.

But such is the 6N that if Ireland win tonight everything is up in the air.
Scotland could end up being the kingmakers.

Odd, second one and no split screen. Ireland only perhaps?

Only two per match, not likely in the first few minutes

Unless Ireland pull something out of the hat soon then may as well give the 6 nations to France now.
Les bolleaux :face_with_symbols_on_mouth:

Great try,
France in control.
Nothing from Ireland in the first half (so far).

FFS, have France got more players on the park :man_shrugging:

Ireland suffering from injuries in the forwards.
They can’t put any pressure on France in the set piece so France are doing what they like.
Also having two locks who are hybrid loose forwards gives them a lot of mobility.
Can’t see England allowing them to play like that
