@BruidheanChaorthainn Ireland -11 is free money
All this shadow boxing, and one game, and one of them are gone. Need some sort of shield competition and get the top 12 teams in a better organised competition.
I wonāt be playing anyway
A repechage would be ideal.

Jamie looks like heās off playing darts after.
Thatās some competition Rte are running
Smashing try
Jelly Bear having a great tournament.
The Italian 21 diving out of the way 
France v SA next weekend will be epic.
French will bate them.
Iāll be sorry to see either of them go tbh. Iād like to see SA playing NZ in some kind of meaningful game, but itās unlikely to happen
The French hooker has been superb
Theyāll have to bring in a bonus point for teams that manage to get a score

Ireland Vs England
England Vs Wales
England Vs Scotland
SA Vs NZ
England have a prominent role as everyone hates then.
Itās been an absolutely farcical tournament.
Shaping for a few huge quarters, but everyone knew that 3 years ago

Fusco there for Italy. He has his chips.
England being shite has taken a lot from rugby. Ireland beating them so often in the last 15 years or so just feels wrong too. Weāre meant to be the plucky underdogs. Itās a bit like man utd and Liverpool too where both teams have never really been good at the same time. The grand slam decider in 07 I think when they hammered us was box office. Also the game where Horgan scored in corner in last minute.

The Italians celebrating a try to bring the score to 52-7.
They really have been terrible and donāt appear to be getting better despite regular exposure in Europe.
Itās a huge market for the game to grow. Youād think if the likes of Bundee Aki want to make money in the northern hemisphere they should be encouraged to play with the Italians.
