The first time I watched Saturday Social on Sky I looked up all the YouTube channels of the presenters, watched a few videos, saw their subscription and viewings numbers and all I could think was

Two BPs is a nice return from Loftus, especially after how heavy a week this was.

Connacht away in May could be season defining.

It's those things that are so frustrating

Also how easily the Bulls got a lot of their scores

It's the small little things that are frustrating for Munster at the moment

Lineout five metres out is the prime example

Uffff and that's tough given the financial outlay and expected impact from him too

Seems to be a player kind of lost at the moment and I mean in terms of the last two years

Was always going to be impossible to bring on someone of Barretts calibre as a replacement too

Chatting the other day about it as well, hybrid players like Botia and Esterhuizen mean teams can have 6-2/5-3 bench splits at the same time.

This kind of innovation has to be respected too

Him being dropped to the NPC side before the move was a bit of a concern at the time

His arguing at the end of the game last night was head scratching

Think he needs some time away from the field cause as you'd expect it has impacted him

Hell he's only human

Yeah they have not developed their gameplan once it has been found out

Leicester under Borthwick played a very paired back game that worked for them. He was gone to England though before it could be cracked

That is a nice summary of both teams

Still thinking back to the England Ireland game and how utterly lost the English players looked in that first 40

In the last two years we've had the best Rugby Championship and one of the best Six Nations in terms of drama and teams being able to beat each other

The summer tours will be a good watch

But the fact there is no Rugby Championship is so infuriating

When they then go on to lose the game all you can think is, karma

That stood out in particular

Ireland got their scores in double quick time

Scotland had to slog at the line

Great game to watch

Scotland third quarter scored some terrific scores

That first 40 and lack of points when they got into the 22 Vs Irelands hit rate in the 22 swung it Irelands way #irevsco

That's a good point

Have really dropped off of last week when getting into the 22 too

Seem to be making things too complicated
