Normal match against Italy, they have 50 minutes of good rugby in them and few teams dominate them for the whole match. Trouble is, nobody hives them credit that tthey have some good players. They will upset someone at home this year. Still, May looked weak defensively both this week and last week. Not sure if he is injured but can see Nowell back on the wing as he offers cover at 15 as well. Would like to see Wade or Yarde given a run out as well.

Anyone know who Care has offended to get dropped as he has to be a better option in the last 20 than Wigglesworth. I suspect another disciplinary issue but not seen any press about it.

Agree about May defensively but his turn of pace is electric

Don't thjnk Wade is good enough but Yarde and Nowell are - Nowell would be my pick if May was to be dropped

Don't think Care has been involved since that mistake against SA

Nowell at least needs to be on the bench as wing and 15 cover. That injury to Brown meant we had to change too much around in one go.

Surprised Goode isnt involved more - gives lots of cover.

Lot of comments that he has not got enough pace but I cannot see it. I think the injury to Foden caught us out as I suspect he would have been cover for 2 positions if not starting

Not sure Ireland did a number, France were not good for 60 minutes, Ireland took their penalties well but hardly looked like crossing the try line.

Big one tomorrow, I can see Scotland taking the points against Wales

Big game for Scotland tomorrow. Home advantage as well.

Here's hoping they can take the positives from last week and get some points on the board.

Seymour out, but Dunbar is in.

After last weeks games I'm quietly confident we can take something from this one.

Think Ireland were more than fortunate to win that game myself, would hardly call it doing a number. Had the better of some dubious calls from the ref and spent a huge part of the game defending their 22, luckily for them France seem to have drilled all of the attacking flair out of their players of late, not to mention picking a kicker who cant kick

Think that was a lucky escape for the Irish as France were the better team second half. Good defence tho. Bring on 2 weeks time 😃

The Italian kicker wasn't great either. Surely there must be an ex Aussie playing somewhere in Italy who knows where the posts are.

Ireland were fortunate to win that - certainly didn't do a number on France

France ignoring their very talented backs to try and grind out a win

Scotland winning tomorrow is very much a possibilty
