Hammered from 1-15, maybe not at 7.
Lots of Irish played themselves into the Lions.
Sexton and Murray timing their run to perfection.
I'm a massive Henshaw fan but wouldn't have been disappointed if Byrne got MOTM today.
Lots of English played themselves out.
Honestly if 30 were picked for the Lions tomorrow, then Curry would be in the match day 23 and there's no real need to pick any other Englishmen.

Bit harsh. Reckon they’d get a few on bench.

Hogg is no outside half
Maitland is definitely no full back
It was only Italy, they wanted to make it a bit closer.

Sinckler, Curry, Itoje. Possibly Slade.

Ridiculous red card. Gee these French refs like to flash the cards.
A pathetic decision by the ref. Vunipola leading with his head down isn't a mitigating factor? I'm not sure what Aki is meant to do here.

Good Lord. Just watched a video of it, cannot believe a red for that. Aki dropped, knee was nearly on ground. Unless front on tackles are penalized, that happens multiple times per game.
Red? FFS.
Link that should work:

Billy dips into him. Red card for assaulting shoulder with head.

England at the mo are too much brawn and not enough brain. Reckon Jones’s goose is cooked.
The victory against France made them look good, but that was a French team still recovering from covid, not mentioned by one scribe that I can see.

@machpants it's about time to pull out a win to save their pancetta for another few years.
They're fine whatever, everyone's happier about a biennial trip to Rome rather than Bucharest or Tbilisi
Tbilisi is fantastic
And I’ve heard Bucharest is pretty cool
Yeah, Tbilisi is very cool. I thought it was like if Melbourbe had a shit-tonne of history backing it up.

@machpants technically, yes probably.
The framework didn't differentiate between contact initiated by the defender or the attacker. Shoulder to head is very different to head to shoulder, but interpreted the same. I think that's the frustration.
