I'm really hoping that Racing scrum half, Nolan Le Garrec, gets more than 5 minutes at the end of the game to be properly tested at international level, because I'm convinced he has the potential to keep Antoine Dupont on his toes!

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat
Yes, Charles Ollivon is your man in the back row, and Cameron Woki off the bench.Hot_Charlie wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 2:58 pmNo lineout threat but presumably made up for by lineout options in the back row?Robespierre wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 2:51 pmThis has now been confirmed. Tuilagi is « only » 1m92 so is hardly likely to be a line out threat (as I mentioned earlier, it’d take a forklift truck to get his 145 kgs off the ground) but with ball in hand it’ll take more than one Irish defender to tackle him.Robespierre wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 8:10 am Romain Taofifenua, who’s been selected on the bench for tomorrow evening’s match, is doubtful and could be replaced by Posolo Tuilagi.

If I'd have said 'oop them bluuues' I would have meant Scotland. But I'll take an Italy win against the other home nations as well!!
So Allez Les blues & Via il Azzurri!

teacht ar Éirinn ,
I think you enjoy the game more if you don't know the rules. Anyway, you're on the same wavelength as the referees.

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat
Lucu is having a shocker in Dupont’s absence. Will Galthié have the balls to bring on the promising Le Garrec?
