@ grootblousmile:
Hello not long seen your comment about match thread after trying to post, between keeping an eye on the game on TV and the other scores
8 @ Bullscot:
Saw you missed 2 of my comments on there… there you were, talking alone… and me the same on this side… hahaha
Canna misses a penalty at goal…
Shoddy man, shoddy!
These goal kickers are so poor, another miss by Canna. Canna canae kick
Lemoenetyd
Poor, poor rugby, it must be said!
12 @ grootblousmile:
I think it has been ok at times just some mistakes creeping in at times stopping the team’s momentum, certainly not the amazing game that the TV commentators here are hyping it to be though.
Half time stats indicate France have been dominant and should be further ahead, I think they are actually lucky to be ahead at all.
England 203/5 in 42nd over, Hales out for 99, England need 60 at just over 7 an over, would still think they are favourites, SA need more wickets quickly
10 overs from SA’s ‘5th’ bowlers 0 wickets for 62 runs, not too bad at least they don’t have to use the non specialist bowlers for the rest
2nd Half ON!
Penalty kick to Italy surely canae kick Canna can’t miss again…
France 10/11 Italy 44th min
England look to be cruising to victory 227/5 almost 44 overs gone
TRY CANNA!
Try Carlo Canna, Italy!
Oh dear may have believed the hype about the new France under ‘genius’ Noves too much, went for a big France win
France 10/18 Italy 47th min as the conversion is over by Canna
Italy 18 / 10 France
This is why I have said I didn’t know who would win this 6 Nations and who to pick at times, the one thing I thought I was sure of was that Italy would struggle, at the moment they are putting so much pressure on France.
Super play by Plisson

Yep, they have a habit of messing ones SuperBru up completely…..that’s why I dislike them so much.
Has Italy ever beaten them in France?
Hopefully the Poms fare better under their new coach in a short while 😉
Italy relentless in their defence which helps them turn over possession and from France attacking around midfield they now have a defensive lineout close to their try line
Ag no 3 sixes in a row by Buttler off Tahir, a few balls earlie Ali was dropped and then got the single that put Buttler on strike
