Rugby union?

Lol, that was forward by the Scottish in the run-up to that try

I wouldn't mind (NARRATOR: yes, he would) but when there's a handy line painted on the damned pitch...

France's second half was stunning. It's the second halves of Rugby they normally reserve for All Blacks games

, Ireland looked like Rabbits in headlights at times.

Good to see they still know how to play without the “best player that ever lived” lol

They were better without him, amusingly enough. A lesson in not setting up teams around one player? You may think that, I couldn't possibly comment

I had a feeling France would win, they comfortably did in the end even after losing their talisman.

He is still playing far to much like a 7s player and far to loose in the structural parts of the games. I genuinely think France looked better with Maxime Luca on because he played as Scrum-Half should.

I agree, once Lucu settled in they dominated the possession.

This has been much closer than expected.

Only half watched the game. But looks like Wales did a pretty solid job there, certainly from the score line! Will have to catch the highlights later or something.

This year the teams have been much closer which is good IMO.

Have to say was not expecting us to beat the Irish !

I thought the French would give the Irish a run for their money, but I expected them to stall after Dupont went off injured. How wrong I was.

Italy are going to keep England on their toes this afternoon,

England getting repeatedly diddled by the TMO here. Not surprised when I've seen who it is though...

They should have got a penalty try there.

Yup. Clear as day. Then Genge clearly having his leg pulled causing him to fall but being pinged for sealing off!? Mad.

Borthwick really does not want to let Ted Hill on the pitch does he. Surely ~20 points up with 20+ minutes to go is a great time for him to be on the pitch and rest someone?

Good news, BBC and ITV retain the broadcast rights to the Six Nations from 2026 - 2029. The only difference being that all England matches (home and away) will be on ITV, none will be on the BBC as they currently are.
Fantastic news for the fans though.

PinkFloyd · 14 Mar 2025 at 22:23

I thought all the England games were normally on ITV anyway? Either way, great news it's staying on terrestrial TV.

Everyone pumped for the games tomorrow? Going to be a long hard day of sitting on the sofa watching telly I think!

Terminal_Boy · 15 Mar 2025 at 10:02

Allez les Bleues!

Terminal_Boy · 15 Mar 2025 at 15:59

Speaking of teams wearing blue, Italy are giving Ireland more problems than most expected.

Mekrel · 15 Mar 2025 at 16:55

You just know Wales will actually put some effort in as it's England and Wales are always try hards against us.

Dis86 · 15 Mar 2025 at 16:58

Don't get why there was even a discussion there! Clearly offside and interfered with play.
