I've no idea what the ref was talking about in regards to that deliberate knock on. I've never, ever seen that not given as a yellow.

Yes, but thats not the issue. Professional players have protocols they are required to adhere to.. Just shows a lack of respect Pretty sure Hogg, as Captain, will have been one of the guys setting the fucking protocols as well.

Yep, there does seem to be a bit of a malaise behind the scenes now. No discipline on the pitch, none off it either. This 6 nations has been fucking shite.

Think it's best you make sure you are very drunk for this one...

I feel a bit sorry for Kinghorn as well. Every little error is going to be amplified to a ridiculous degree.

Same. Hastings I could have accepted, Russell hadn't been at his best, but throwing Kinghorn in there, in Dublin, it's crazy. Maybe the Irish will be so confused they won't know what to do.

Fucking hell Townsend. Can't wait to see @Detournement's take on this...

I can understand why Robinson made the change he did at 3-2, but it really backfired and killed our chances of getting back into it. It didn't actually make us more attacking, because we completely lost the midfeild. Thought Hearts were really good, especially Halkett, Haring, Baningime and Boyce, who was motm for me. I actually also thought Simms was really good, surprised some Hearts fans didn't tbh. For Saints, Ronan, Brophy and Gogic played well. In the end, there aren't many Hearts players who wouldn't get a game for St Mirren, they are clearly a better team, but I think we can be very dissapointed with the goals we lost. We can defend far better than that.

For some reason St Mirren fans aren't allowed to buy tickets today so whatever we've sold now is it. Don't know if it's the same for Hearts.

Aberdeen would be a big draw for a lot of our players right now. Big wage increase, bigger club and you do get the impression a lot of our players do really like Goodwin, although to be honest, I had heard a few rumours that it wasn't always the happiest squad behind closed doors. I suppose you'll get that with any manager though. Anyway, if Aberdeen weren't sniffing around Alnwick it would be borderline negligence from them considering he's a keeper they should be able to afford fairly easily, who is massively better than the guy they currently have.

Yeah, that was incredible, he just couldn't allow Wales not to have that last bite of the cherry.

Phew. Think France probably won the grand slam there, that's them had their big howler of a performance and they've still come away with the win, away from home as well. I think they might turn England over quite comfortably next week.

No advantage? They went forward 40 yards!

Maybe because the guy did that tbf.

As soon as that hit the ground the ball came out? Why is that called as unplayable?

Wales are 3/1 right now in play...

That kick through the ruck when they were already countering pretty well was a real red flag.

France definitely have a hand hovering over the self destruct button here.

I don't think that was a knock on either.

Are you allowed to do what Wales just did at that scrum? They wheeled it miles with the ball at the feet of the flanker.

Am I wrong or is Marchand throwing the ball in "wrong"? It's like he's throwing it too slow, low and flat.

France are rattled here. We've profited from a couple of these in recent years where they lose composure and start doing really stupid things. Wales have a big chance here.

French lineout is rotten. Doesn't look like the hooker is throwing it properly.

Wales haven't done anything, everything they've had has been from Carley. France absolutely destroying the Welsh scrum at the start and Carley point blank refusing to give a pen set the tone.

Matt Carley is a real leveller here in Cardiff. France won't be getting many 50/50s here.
