Yes, really proved himself today, crazy to think he hadn't had a chance to start a game.

Got Ireland in Dublin next weekend any predictions 😂
I think you enjoy the game more if you don't know the rules. Anyway, you're on the same wavelength as the referees.

Earl easily the MOTM.

His speech at the end though is a bit over the top. They didn't show up and arguably Wales let them win that in the end.

Yes.

My prediction is that I will be busy having hot needles pressed into my eyes whilst a black and decker drill sorts out my kneecaps. It will be less painful than watching England.
I used to sit near a stalker and we want him back "kick for the corner!!!!"

I'll actually feel a bit more optimistic if Ford gets the 10 shirt

Pundits already talking about 'mitigation' for Farrell to take ban down from 6 (entry level) to 4 weeks, not sure why there should be any mitigation with his priors.
Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.

The sad thing is the ruling bodies have been making excuses for Farrell for so long that officially he doesn't actually have many priors

Can see it now,Ford has a stormer v Argentina and we win while Farrell is banned and then Farrell is parachuted straight back into the team when his ban is over!

Indeed, so annoying. For those posters who moan about Scott calling Farrell 'Shoulder Boy'... he's spot on the money, having completed a tackling course he has clearly shown contempt for the course, and the powers that be, by not learning a thing.

If is wasn't so true, it would be funny.
