#Lions hung on there. A lot of them looked out on the feet at the end. Wonder what is going on in camp. Fair play to #AUS. They can look forward to next week.

#NZL getting the best of some calls there. I wonder if #FRA can keep the intensity up. The punditry is marvellously one eyed.

How on earth did Pollock score that? #Lions #rugby

Ben White has had an immense game for the #Lions #rugby

Brilliant from #ARG.

If #NZLvFRA was champagne and #WARvLions stout I am not at all sure what #ARGvENG is …

Welcome to the Angus Gardner show. #ARGvENG #rugby

#Lions need to sharpen up in the next 40. #WAR are very up for this. #rugby

Great win by Argentina- thoroughly well-deserved. Lions have plenty to work on.

What a game! Great effort from #FRA but #ENG cling on to win and grab the Grand Slam. Terrific advert for #rugby. #RedRoses

Through the ‘contact us’ function in the app. Probably not monitored though! 🤣

Phew. I thought it was just me. I have complained but heard nothing so far.

These TMO reviews have been very slow in this weekends #W6N … and they need to have more screens to cut out the nonsense of the officials running two lengths of the pitch for every review.

Let’s see whether the TMO will allow this #SCO try stand. #SCOvWAL

#ITA not letting up. #ENG gone to sleep. #ENGvITA

Rapidly descending into the Ref Show this. #ENGvITA

#ITA looking slick and ambitious. #ENG ahead but not imposing themselves on the game really #ENGvITA

Can’t imagine a Shaun Edwards’ defence letting that happen. Doh.

#ENG looking suddenly baggy and shapeless in aftermath of Lawrence’s departure. #ITA looking good but #FRA put a cricket score on them which tells us something. #ENGvITA

This #WAL performance sponsored by The Keystone Cops. #SCOvIRE.

#FRA are speeding up if anything. Extraordinary stuff. #IRE rapidly tiring and need to find something soon. #IREvFRA

Panic stations here for #IRE. #FRA surging away and heading out of sight. #IREvFRA

Oo that’s nasty … DuPont will be off I think. #IREvFRA

#IRE attack too much of an open book for #FRA who are rock solid so far in defence and so creative in attack.

Well 97 points in a game. Extraordinary. #IREvFRA is going to be quite something. And ITA have much more in attack than ENG just now too so that’s going to be interesting.

Astonishing game of #rugby in Rome … #ITAvFRA nearly 90 points already with 15 minutes left. FRA winning but ITA playing well. Incredible stuff after the stodgy non-rugby from #ENG yesterday.

Well I think we can safely conclude that Mr Borthwick’s experiment has not necessarily turned out to England’s advantage. #IREvENG

Bath coming right back. What a game.

Saints scoring tries for fun just now. Bath do not seem to have left the banks of the Avon.

Blockbuster thread with some mind bending details about early ‘modern’ human populations in Upper Palaeolithic Europe, featuring details on the nature of migrations out of Africa, admixture with Neanderthals, population sizes and patterns of close genetic relatives in caves.
