[Duck a l'Orange]

Shields with his trademark.

This is so sad,
Alexa, play Esposito

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Manu rolling back the years

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Nice try @Bruce_ma_goose

Why thank you. Allan will score more points at Twickenham today than 15 of his countrymen combined next week.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

I hate Shields' offloads

But love Joes...

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Cokonasiga is terrifying

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Not watching, just saw Tuilagi's try. What are the chances that home wins with Teolagi convinces Eddie to start them in Japan?

 

[ncurd]

Why's Farrell going for the posts WHY FFS he deserves to be be booed.

 

[Duck a l'Orange]

But love Joes...

Joe's work sometimes...

This might not be pretty, but it's definitely a plan B.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

As much as I think we should respect the opposition, going for sticks when you're 21-7 up after 25 minutes is a weak decision.

EJ has had the horn for Teo since day one - if he's fit (big if) he'll likely start

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

T'eo is just rubbish, really strange that Jones loves to spunk over the idea of T'eo at 12.

Why oh why haven't we tried some decent 12s at 12.

 

[Jimbo]

Anyone else find that kick for the posts a strange option?

 

[Aristodemus]

These should be our first choice wingers going into the WC.

 

[Every Time Ref]

I love Ben Kay's commentary. That was such a good, clear explanation of why ruck speed matters

 

[ncurd]

The cynical in me says it's about improving kicking percentage...

 

[Duck a l'Orange]

Leading by 7 points against Wales you'd take the 3. Depends how seriously you take Italy.

Agreed, but who?
