Bloody awful look - and if my aged father can spot it from his armchair, what on earth was the TMO looking at?!?

Italian commentator

Completely agree but also absolutely hate the idea. If we don’t see Smith’s value, someone else will sooner rather than later.

I’m so sorry.

Only a few?!?

It’s not the lilac monstrosity we wore against Italy …

Dupont looks like he’s going to cry - I’m guessing White can sledge pretty well in French as well as English!

It’s up there …

I remember the days when we’d give away 4 penalties in as many minutes …

I’m going to take it with me but it’s only getting an outing if France win …

Completely agree with this. Certainly in New Zealand they think they’re protected by workers comp; not sure in Australia but neither are currently the subject of litigation. Litigation might make them change their position.

It can’t be - it’s against the laws so mitigation is irrelevant. Wonder what verbal guidance the match officials have been given because it’s such a uniform approach, it would seem to have come from the top.

Wow - and not wow in a good way!

I had a fun afternoon - this doesn’t quite do justice to how loud it was …

He did good for the 39 minutes he was on - I was sceptical and was proved wrong. I was proved wrong about a lot of things today!

Just awful!

I was screaming that!!!

That’s very much my theory too!

It was quite something 🙈🤣

I suspect, but I don’t know, that there won’t be one, or it will be a former Scottish Rugby luminary. I don’t think there was one before her; she is pretty much irreplaceable - loves the game; knows so much about it; not above a little bit of trolling …

Townsend’s response, whilst giggling, was that it’s only small because France have such a huge entourage …

Absolutely not a clue. The best I can come up with is that the lilac shirt is being used as a threat …

Just seen - ffs!

That needs citing and explaining …

Didn’t see the eye gouge (was at the match) … who on who?!?

I reckon they threatened them with that lilac shirt again …

A million bonus points and top of the table!

Carré on!

In Carré we trust!

That should win try of the 6 Nations!

It’s going to take generations; I pity the next administration who has to try and will only be in for one term because they won’t be able to sort the shit out quickly enough for the voters.
