Frankly I feel betrayed. I’m barely able to face the day.

Matty_Hislop · February 10, 2018, 10:15am

Don’t be too hard on yourself mate.

gilgamboa · February 10, 2018, 10:18am

That doesnt surprise me. Be brave mon ami.

At least they have recalled Baptiste Serin from the cold, you might remember him as the lively scrum half you felt was the long term future of french rugby after one smashing piece of skill a few seasons ago. If he can get back into being no 1 at UBB he might fulfil that promise yet

Commentators eye

Fagan_ODowd · February 10, 2018, 10:22am

Yes I remember Baptiste Serin and me predicting that he would be the future of French rugby. That prediction not coming true has cut me to the quick.

gilgamboa · February 10, 2018, 10:24am

Why would it cut you to the quick?

V disappointing alright. But nowt to do with you afaik. Just more evidence of an absolute inability of the French to develop young players over a sustained period.

He would be a superstar if he was irish. He is top notch

Fagan_ODowd · February 10, 2018, 10:24am

There’s really no need to rub salt into the wounds mate.

gilgamboa · February 10, 2018, 10:24am

That is not my intention

Fagan_ODowd · February 10, 2018, 10:28am

I think if you were being honest you would acknowledge that it was.

gilgamboa · February 10, 2018, 10:31am

Im always honest. I will forever associate Serin with @Fagan_ODowd. Jalibert now too. I wonder how long it will be before he gets another go.

Some people are extremely petty and enjoy winding others up about rugby. Not me pal

Fagan_ODowd · February 10, 2018, 10:35am

Ok mate, be like that.

gilgamboa · February 10, 2018, 10:37am

🤷🤷🤷

Julio_Geordio · February 10, 2018, 10:57am

@gilgamboa France 2/1 tomorrow. Talk to me. Seems value?

gilgamboa · February 10, 2018, 11:17am

Two bad teams last week. Wouldnt be keen on their selection at out half at all. Big price alright. I wouldnt back them personally would think better bets somewhere in the markets

glasagusban · February 10, 2018, 11:48am

All of the Irish players are superstars.

gilgamboa · February 10, 2018, 11:48am

I wouldnt necessarily agree but you’re entitled to your opinion

myboyblue · February 10, 2018, 11:53am

Fergus McFadden is a superstar alright

gilgamboa · February 10, 2018, 12:03pm

And marmion, john ryan, Herring. All super. All stars. Just maybe not superstars

myboyblue · February 10, 2018, 12:03pm

Quinn Roux…

gilgamboa · February 10, 2018, 12:07pm

All I can take from it is there are some lads still seething over last weeks games.

A snide comments from Scotch fan Glas there. And I tried to have a chat with a french fan earlier about their squad selection and he nearly bit the head of me.

The Italians on here are staying quiet enough. Dangerous bucks from the long grass.

Its the six nations though, it provokes strong reactions. Its what makes it so great
