Thoughts on the Six Nations
It was no surprise- ar least not to me-that France best Ireland 36-14 as ‘les blues’ have so many world class players ( Bielle Barrey, Dupont , Ramos ) and the men in green are past their sell by date.
England yesterday put 48 points past a feckless, ill disciplined Welsh team – probably the worst I’ve seen.
The big surprise was Scotland losing 18-15 to Italy in a rain sodden Rome I felt they were taking a huge risk omitting Duhan Van der Merwe , Darcy Graham and Blair Kinghorn for the Glasgow Warriors selected Scotland are gloriously unpredictable and will doubtless be geared up against the ‘auld Enemy ‘ at Murrayfield next Saturday.. However the crucial game wil surely be France v England France win the match ups and England’s only hope might be Gallic indiscipline
Finally the use of adverts in play by ITV is unwelcome and sets a bad precedent . How long will it be before they are introduced during VAR deliberations?
