Almost inevitably, the game in Paris isn’t living up to the hype. Scotland predictably blew their load last week. Imagine getting themselves up to beat their greatest rivals.

Man are we in trouble when Sexton retires. Carberry id decent but not much more. We were blessed with the smooth transition from O’Gara to Sexton but there’s no one coming to save the day.

Quite a young team though no? Must be pleased with how they rallied after the first half? Yep, thought they fought well and had a chance to nick it at the death. Never truly got going so I wasn’t hugely disappointed as it never truly felt like we were going to win it.

Never truly got going so I wasn’t hugely disappointed as it never truly felt like we were going to win it. It’s a very open 6 nations. Scotland beat us last week without really ever controlling the game, Ireland demolished Wales who then beat Scotland today in a tight one. Scotland have a good recent record vs France as well right?

Anyone heard from our welsh lad Paul by the way? Paul left of his own accord some time ago and hasn’t been back.

Imagine getting themselves up to beat their greatest rivals. I would have thought by now winning their first ever 6 nations would be enough to “get themselves up” No, I meant literally. Imagine a team actually motivating themselves to beat their biggest rivals. I've forgotten what that is like.

It’s hard work for them ……

Thought I'd pop back seeing as it's the 6 nations and knew you'd be around. Was hoping for some joy today after that mess earlier. Unfortunately Poor discipline cost us yet again. Thought we did well to come back from 17-0 down was just a step too far and wasn't meant to be. Well done on ya win mate, enjoy it, we'll be back to avenge it next year . For me Pivac needs to go. He just isn't good enough and needs to be replaced before the world cup.

We had so much more possession but Wales were far more clinical and defended well. Happy to escape with the win! Two teams in transition and I expect France to make light work of us.

Likewise, hope all is good your way. Bit of a shit time of it and with bloody covid aswell but getting there thanks pal. Wasn't the greatest of games in the first half and when it went up to 17-0 I though we were in for a pasting on the scoreboard. Never nice to lose to the enemy but the result is what's important. Yeah can't see past a French grandslam at this point now. We certainly aren't gonna beat them in the form we're in. With the fact the England arent firing either and it being in Paris Id say its France's to lose, they've been a different animal this year.
