lol at Eddie Jones doing the halftime commentary on the England/Ireland game.

Will be giving the players PTSD from the sidelines.

Ref said next time someone ran in to start a fight, they'd be binned. So why is Lowe still on to make that try happen? Come on.

Yup, 16th man

Hope Scotland can get some revenge today from last year. Great to see the Italians celebrating after winning at home but prefer when they beat other teams!

I get more worried about the Italy game every year. They've improved so much. Commentry on BBC said in the past 4 years they've scored 10 more points and conceeded 10 less on average every game. That's a 20 point swing.

Head: all home

Heart: Scotland with a half time bp

Arse: Wales stun an undisciplined France and England stun a leaderless Ireland throwing the hole tournament wide open

And yes, I'm off to Murrayfield tomorrow, come on Scotland!

Going to be catching a lot of replays for this weekend. Loaded up with opera and my hometown MLR preseason.

Loved sharing that in the pub

Incredible kick to set up that try. All in a day's work for Dupont, of course!
