But Farrell remains. Genge should have been captain, he's about the most in form player we have just now.

Borthwick has done the right thing and dropped Youngs for the weekend, hopefully that's a big step in the right direction.

Just read that.
Have to admit I had a little laugh as I immediately thought of you 😂

Well he’s not going to change his captain after one game. Right or wrong he’s got to stick with it for the 6 Nations.

Wales have binned AWJ and Tipuric completely. Faletau only makes the bench

Conor Murray might not play against France as his Dad was hit by a truck whilst out cycling this afternoon and is in a pretty bad way in hospital.

Ireland not clinical enough. How on earth did Dupont stop the try earlier?

Dupont is ridiculous, probably the best player in the world right now.

Some of the offloading in this game is beautiful to watch.

Casey turned the game, the extra pace at the breakdown has really hurt the big french pack.
