Yes it was a bit like the Saints wasn't it, scrappy, handling errors and too many penalties given away. As others have said though, good teams win when they're playing badly. Of the Saints, I thought Lawes had a good game. One massive hit just after time which helps lift the team. Wood got stuck in but made errors. Not sure that I saw Dylan do a huge amount and the lineouts wobbled. Substitutes made a big difference didn't they. Isn't Picamoles an outstanding player. Must be one of the Saints best. Is he as good as Manoa? |

Better Flanker. He has a wider skill set than Manor and I think is a more intelligent player. In my mind he's possible the best 8 in the world at the moment. |

What Elma said!!! Shall I give my opinion on Manoa again?!?!? ![]() Dylan was absent yes but it was his first game. Give him time to get up to speed. Plus it's not like we lose anything with him on the park. Scrum and lineout normally solid and he puts a shift in around the park. I think the back row and second row that ended the game will start the next. |

England were bad, france were worse. how france didnt win that game i dont know, they are probably the worst coached team ive ever seen at top tier international level. I thought the saints boys did ok, wood was an absolute dog for the whole game and what is it with lawes and french scrum halfs......, dylan not his best game but not a disaster. hopefully we have T back for friday, could do with him at 7. how about the scots v ireland though? what a game!!!! I hadscots 1-5 @ 11/2 as well so happy days!!! no team got a bonus point and it had no impact, shows what a load of rubbish that rule is!!! |

LBPs Mac. France and Ireland both got LBPs so they will have an impact. |

I'm not sure at any point teams were playing for that lbp, I simply think they are a terrible idea in the six nations. teams play different teams away from home etc, easier in theory to get 4 trys at home v italy then away. should that effect the outcome? |

I completely agree Mac. The tournament is already swayed by the draw as there is no home and away and this adds extra sway. I was merely pointing out BPs did happen, just LBPs not TBPs. |
