What is Hastings doing there though? Entirely unnecessary, and butchered a huge line break chance for Darge, was a simple pass.

The Telegraph just gave a convicted criminal a two-page spread to explain why he's pumping £4 million into Reform UK. They tucked his criminal record away in the small print. So as a former financial crime specialist I’ll do their job for them👇

Oooft. Can sense the paralyzing anxiety rising throughout the post. Awful outcome.

Brilliant—congratulations!

‘I see it as trafficking’: the brutal reality of life as a foreign student in the UK The long read: Universities in Britain rely on overseas applicants paying full fees, which has given rise to some unscrupulous recruiters and left many hopefuls and their families deep in debt

'In 2023, UK universities spent a total of £500m on education agents – but there is very little oversight of how these agents operate.'

'Once students got their offers, they were passed on to the visa team, and finally delivered to universities as a fully wrapped, fee-paying package.'

Pierce just told them they penalize them for offside on the box kick next time and they did it again and nothing. 😆

Can borrow a skirt off her too 😉

In your heart of hearts you know you want to!

Was watching the Wales and Ireland pens simultaneously, gutted.

I’ll survive! Wild times.

Could send me into depression…

They lost the 50/50 and lost the ref and were knackered after 60 mins. It was a mix of unfortunate chance and the difference between where the two teams are in depth.

I think the issue is not Russell mistakes it’s what’s the plan B if ruck speed and wide to wide is not happening. Scotland showed the same speed and accuracy in the first 20 mins for a lot of their attack but they fell off a precipice and there was no structured plan to switch things up.

Tbf this was not the same team as last week—lot of players looked knackered and as always happens when things are static Russell gets the ball in his hands and the implication seems “okay now do some magic”. He took the ball as far to the line as he could so many times with just no options showing.

Was a terrible call, the delayed set call on that first Ireland try after the scrum was just wobbling because there was no proper bind was a ridiculous call on the first scrum of the game with the Scotland put in. You just never see that, it’s always a reset.

4 weeks also seems extremely lenient, Jegou knew exactly what he was doing and went for the eyes twice.

Well they didn’t dodge it like I thought they might, but 4 week ban for foul play that everyone but the ref and tmo apparently saw, essentially keeping France in the driver seat for a championship. Pretty poor standards all in all.

Does it count juggling passes? Could that be like 4 touches/pass?

You know when you’re grabbing a face not a ball in a maul even without looking. I donno what mitigation can be found here. Main question is how on earth was it not picked up in the game. A few friends said they saw it live on tv and thought it was obvious.

Goes in twice, at least.

www.reddit.com/r/rugbyunion... much worse on video too—goes in twice for it.

Between the Darcy one last week, Carre on Friday, and this yesterday, spoiled for choice.

Yeah, but we all know Scotland lose if they try to play power game against most other tier 1 teams. I think it’s more about the hard-track too. Next week will certainly prove progress if they can get the win, but I think yesterday showed a lot.

Don’t hear about that…

The number of “maid c’est pas possible” I’ve heard on the way out… this tournament just delivers doesn’t it!

Mate—one if the best sporting experiences of my life. I think we had about 11 forwards on the pitch by the end but what a bloody day! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🎉
