How good was the Scotland France match to watch. At last we had two teams who wanted to play front foot off loading rugby.Not quite the SH quality but certainly not the turgid defensive NH biff buff breakdown buff buff breakdown type we have been watching to date.
The press are talking about Scotland as one of the two weakest teams in the tournament,that's historical. If they bring their French game to Dublin can Ireland cope?

France will only get better, if they can make those offloads stick they'll hammer someone. Hope it's on Saturday night.

Two million homosexuals and gypsies were killed along with six million Jews in Nazi death camps because of their race; most if not all white so according to this playful banter none were a race. :duh:
From the rolling glens of Antrim through the hills of Donegal we will stand and shout for Ulster as we win both scrum and maul from the lovely lakes of Fermanagh tae the shores of ould Lough Gall we will scream and shout for Ulster as we beat them one and all!

Nobody once mentioned playful banter

People enquired as to whether being gypsy is a race

It is unclear from official data sources if being a gypsy means you have a different race

The sort of ignorance that gets people like Trump, the populist parties of Germany, Switzerland and Austria, Erdogan, the Tories and other right-wing establishment parties get voted in!

Popular; a term used by socialists/communists/Marxists uses to describe grassroots opinions/movements they agree with.

Fidel Castro's Cuba is a populist internment camp with hundreds of political prisoners where people can't vote freely.

"Despite increasingly open diplomatic relations, severe restrictions on freedoms of expression, association and movement continued. Thousands of cases of harassment of government critics and arbitrary arrests and detentions were reported."

If Ferg can cover four positions, as he claims, then what is the need for Quiffy Madigan on the bench, since Jackson need only cover 10 (though I do think Jackson could cover 12 perfectly well, or even 13 if needed). Especially given that Henshaw, Earls and Payne also cover several positions between them.
Last pass to Heaslip looked forward to me.

I have also decreed this

He ran sideways, not fixing a man then threw a forward pass to a man who now had 2 players on him

Imagine you botched try of the year

T'was almost my first thought, then I thought, no he's more likely to be English qualified given that the biggest gypsy population in the UK turn out to be from the deep south west around Dorset direction for decades at least, if not centuries.

I suppose in all the nonsense it should not be forgotten that the appalling Marler has not only been carpeted for verbal abuse of Samsung Lee but also for striking Rob Evans. I suppose it England have to win a GS nice for one of their nastiest sorts to miss out.

Shirley he will not beat both raps, I hope he is made a severe example of, the striking is commonplace, his lowlifery an entirely different matter.

I see Brash Eddie, the rugby coach with a bit of the spide wendyball manager about him, tries to brush the matter away by suggesting Marler apologised to Lee.
