The sublime French team were in effect then.

How will the BBC cope.
Can’t fawn over Wales and Ireland until next 6N.

Re: Today’s games
Antoine Dupont certainly is a terrific player who draws comparison with Faf de Klerk. Both are tough, talented players who instinctively make good decisions and I'm kind of reassured that both are ( relatively) small men suggesting that top level rugby isn't just for bulked-up giants. De Klerk has been been around longer than Dupont and is more experienced but I'm not sure who is the better player.

Re: Today’s games
A step too far for Ireland - bonus point win in Paris against a potentially very good French side always a little over ambitious , I thought. Congradulations England , but will need more in upcoming games,
Seemingly heading rapidly toward senility .....Not long or far to go now , in fact, getting worse daily.....
Re: Today’s games
Glad Eddie finally brought on Tom Dunn, great vid of him on social media calling his family after the game! Hill’s yellow card was correct in my opinion as it was reckless and lazy technique that he needs to get rid of out of his game, other than that he is the complete player.

I was surprised anyone thought Ireland even had a sniff at the title to be honest.

Re: Today’s games
Ireland only needed a win by 6 points once they had scored a try.....the French were good and deserved the win.

Re: Today’s games
The France side if they can keep the usual club v country issues stable look like they might be on the right path. Dupont & Ntamack look a properly exciting combo.
A strong French national side is good for world rugby, a strong French side that plays with a bit of flair is a pleasing watch as a bonus.

To win is not as important as playing with style!
Re: Today’s games
Wales look a complete shambles now that Gatland has gone, and not much in the locker room to give them any hope.
As for Ireland, surely they are really the busted flush of the Six Nations teams, and it doesnt take a rocket scientist to work out that Sexton and Murray need to be juncked asap. Maybe, though, Farrell isnt a rocket scientist..

Re: Today’s games
....for Wales , the loss of Shaun Edwards as defence coach should not be underplayed either.
Thing is, a new man (Pivac) will want their own men in situ.

His impact on France shouldn't be underestimated.
Not just the defensive strategy but the work ethic too.
