    Most league fans can't be doing with 'Jiffy' (even though he refers to England as 'we'), but I think he's alright. What is the union view?

    When Wales lost a load of ground because of a good England kick at one point his first words were, "I mean, the sad thing about that is...."

    The utter national bias in all the rugby co-commentators is funny. The Irish and Scottish ones tend to be more of the slow, rumbling seethe variety.

    I've taken a dislike to Brian Moore since some sad cunt grass tagged him in those lol Eric Bristow nonce tweets and he failed to call him a sad cunt grass.

    I would probably enjoy lolling at his naked bias (as Wales lose) if it wasn't delivered in that tinnitus inducing screech. Thank god for radio commentary.

    Good game this, if nothing else the Stade France should be a shoe in for the most obnoxious PA system ever conceived.

    Maitland is frustrating. Has serious gas and ability to finish from a distance but rarely uses it. He shirks backing himself in the foot race and takes the inside line too often.

    I like a good hired hand as much as the next man, but these Fijian wingers that France have are annoying me. Find your own players.

    If France refuse the three points twice in row then I'm officially rooting for the scotch.

    It's the Fijian import they have on 2nd trumpet that's making the difference.

    Just seen that missed conversion from today. If he even takes a couple of steps back then then the ball falls before he tries to kick it and he can reset it. What a pleb.

    The ref told him to hurry up when in fact he had loads of time left so he rushed it.

    If Scotland have any players left then it should be a good game against Wales.

    I would appear to be wrong, seems it was Hines telling him to take it as they were concerned about the TMO ruling out the try. Rather begs the question of why Hines took so long to get onto the pitch with the tee.

    From today, Joe Burgess will go back at some point, Oliver Gildart is going to be class in a couple of years, George Williams probably could become good enough (but lol at an Australian side signing an English half), and John Bateman is a case of when not if. From yesterday, Rhys Evans maybe, Daryl Clark definitely (Wayne Bennett should have taken him back for this season), and he didn't play yesterday but Ben Currie should be interesting NRL clubs.

    'Flanno' was blaming us only using one referee in his 'I don't want to take anything away from Wigan but...' SEETHE, but 1) lol at thinking that NRL referees always enforce the ten metres (Cameron Smith lives offside); and 2) peptides mate peptides.

    Transatlantic sport getting up-and-running with Toronto beating Siddal (who are basically the best amateur team in the country) 14-6 on their atrocious pitch is the sort of thing that would give Roger Goodell brain damage he doesn't believe in.

    That would have been the most Scottish way of throwing away a lead.

    I think Scotland's backs have done more exciting stuff in this game than in the last 20 years combined.

    No Loblaw this week but I like the full back and the wingers, they've been great. Flattered a bit by Wales being garbage.

    They're having a proper meltdown because like all English sportsmen they can only respond to PLANS and have no ability to think for themselves.

    "I'm a referee, not a coach" is a quality line.

    Any time there's anything remotely unusual in overtime in the NFL you can pretty much guarantee that at least one coach or player is going to embarrass themselves after the fact.

    Nice from Care but there are at least a couple of Italians there who might've given some thought to tackling him.

    BBC live text for the game showed Matt Dawson having a good old seethe about the Italians ignoring rucks and evading offsides.
