was pretty unbelievable! Late, no arms, not even a look!
Still, don't think England were as good as much of the press is making out

Nearly as bad as Badgers
Agree, they're not on form. Makes losing today's game even more appalling. Seems like a lot got left behind on the pitches in Japan

Cool people die horrible, preventable deaths.
Agreed. If those two bounces had gone slightly differently ... alright, so we were all over them in the first 30, for sure, but it didn't look like a complete performance to me, not at all.

defensively strong (shout out to that Itoje rip) but attack was way off. Squandered too many changes and there were a number of instances when England didn't seem to know quite what they were doing in attack.
The points scored didn't reflect the dominance they had

Still, I put a fiver on France winning the championship at 9/1 so it's all good

think it is more Sexton is not Best but he still learning
May need to learn to lead the side not try to be its highest point scorer

ah did you not find an RTE stream online
was headed off to the pub for the game but they had the friggin football on
Nope, I listened on radio 5 live though, so all was not lost - last time they had the game on bbc after a week or so.
I'm very reluctant to go looking for live streams of rugby and footie though. I'm always concerned about what I might get at the same time.

ta, that looks interesting although they talk of things which I have no understanding like M3U. Mind you I'm not sure I anyway want 100+ channels of shite. I've thought of getting Freeview but I think I need a box for that although I don't actually have a tv.
I'm working my way through UK TV at the moment

I've been using a free trial on DAZN (some sport streamy thing that has the rights for the Six Nations in Canada and some parts of europe). You may have to do some fiddling with VPNs to get it working, plus giving it a paypal account or something (although you can cancel the trial before being billed). It works ok with Linux Mint for me.
I haven't been catching the games live, but some generous souls have been sticking the games up on youtube which means we catch up with them over the week. Sadly not the case for the men's games. I've been especially enjoying the performances from France. Squidge has a video from the France v England opener which gave me some understanding of what's going on strategy wise.

I just got round to watching Eng vs Ire game last night. Christ we were shit, the final score really does flatter us.
A few things struck me, Larmour is not a fullback, he may get there, but he's not there yet. Can't help but feel that Farrell is sticking with his version of JS plan as I think Addison would have thrived on Saturday due to his positioning sense being better and maybe blunting England's excellent kicking. The second is that our backrow is too lightweight. POM is grand he's a good lineout operator*, good jackle but he's not a devestating carrier, nor a devestating tackler. Again with JvdF, better carrier, but he's not a jackle nor a physical bruiser. I think we'll have trouble until we play Stander at 6, Leavy at 7 (or maybe Will Connors) and Doris at 8.
*Maybe we put too much emphasis on the lineout as an offensive tactic.

Dan Biggar helped off in agony as he suffers horrible-looking injury
The Wales fly-half was on duty for Northampton and had to be substituted after just 20 minutes

Oh well we weren't in the running anyway, get well soon

In dire news, the Rugby Paper are reporting that 6 nations coverage is going to be sold to Sky for £300m. Way to kill off the game
Isn't the 6N on the free-to-view protected list? Or is PM Cummings going to re-write that to placate the Digger?
Bizarrely it isn't. And only the finals of the WC are on there, so that by the sounds of it CVC will likely be putting the rest behind a paywall also.
If so, can we expect rugby participation to go in a similar direction to that of cricket in the last 15 years?
