Article: The Original Rugby Championship - Six Nations 2016

<p>I thought Ireland were pretty positive against Wales in a particularly exciting first half. Whatever about the superiority of the Southern hemisphere teams NH rubgy has greatly changed. Ire v Wal was not a kick-fest and I'm looking forward to Fra v Ire though I expect we'll see Ire play a more conservative approach but when it's on they'll go for it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My concerns for Ireland against France are White at tight-head and whether McCarthy & Toner can get the job done, Ryan on the bench has seen his best days. McGrath had a very strong game against Wales and will need another strong one against France.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't know what to expect from the French so nothing new there.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My only comment on Wales is they need a new backs coach, their attack is just so jaded and how George North continues to be selected baffles me.</p> -

<p>+1,000,000 to the first opinion.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The second opinion will be taken care of as a consequence of the above :)</p> -
<p>Wales unchanged for the Scottish match, with Biggar making a 'miraculous' recovery.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Time for us to do to Scotland what Eddie Jones wants England to do to Italy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Spank them.</p> -
Well it's colossus crunch time so far with the French flying in from all angles - late and high as well as fair. <br><br>
O'Brien and Kearney have had to leave already. And Sexton being softened up slowly. <br><br>
6-0 to Ireland though with 30 mins gone -
Diabolical game so far
-
Sexton knocks another one over. <br><br>
9-3. 1 minute left to HT. <br><br>
Ireland concede a penalty from kick off. -
Plisson kicks and puts it wide. <br><br>
9-3 at halftime to Ireland. <br><br>
It's going to be a heavy battle in the second. France with the stronger bench. -
<p>Shit weather, shit tactics, shit skill levels, shit decision making, shit kicking, shit TMOing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>SHIT HALF</p> -
The French want a turf war. <br><br>
They're getting one. <br><br>
Win by any means necessary, I think. -
<p>Add shit refereeing to the mix.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Off his head, no knock on, play on.</p> -
Make sure you get the creases right

Indeed. The French TV director for once replayed it. -
The French crowd rise to clap McCarthy as he's stretchered off the field. <br><br>
They do like their gladiators here. -
Jeez - Ireland under the cosh in the scrum. Penalty try coming up.
-
<p>man this is a shit game played by 2 poorly skilled teams. no wonder they got no wear at the rwc.</p>
-
<p>Brian Moore is such an arse. what would we do without his moral cumpuse</p>
-
Fuuuuuuckk!<br><br>
10-9 to France. <br><br>
Congrats France.
