We're actually paired with pool C so it'll be NZ or ARG in the QF. So if we don't beat France we'll have to finally beat the ABs for the first time if we're to make a first semi. That's a very tough ask. Ireland tend to give a big response after a poor game so I'd expect us to be up for the...

That's very true IS but Not... was responding to someone who used the word "ever" so any reference from the past is valid in that context.

I agree England made some real progress during this years 6Ns with both Joseph and Ford impressing and to a lesser extent Burrell. I said at the time that they were likely to revert to the more limited Farrell and Barritt (with Burgess also making an appearance) once the pressure started...

Those who do tune in next week will probably be expecting to see Simon Cowell and the X-Factor. When they see a rugby game they'll probably think "I thought the RWC ended last weekend." then switch channels.

Who picked the MoTM? ITV who cover sports once in a blue moon and will forget that Rugby exists as soon as the final is over?

You should call each one of them and say, "Hey I've got a missed call from you!" Then when they answer in a confused manner say, "Sorry I meant we stuffed you in the Rugby. I always get those two confused." Then anytime you're around them in the future and the phrase "missed call" comes up...

It's a great time to be here in Japan. Just a few weeks ago most of my rugby conversations started along the lines of "No not soccer, rugby" followed by gesturing passing. Now the Japanese teachers at my school come to me to talk about the upcoming Japan games. Their performance in this...

Thankfully in our sport they're much less prevalent than in other sports and most of the time the decent fans tell them to pull their head in.

Don't get much time to be on GAGR these days now that I live in Japan. But I had to stop by to say congratulations on the best performance I've seen from the Wallabies in a very long time. Set piece was excellent and added to the already exceptional back row and backs play you've got to be...

It was certainly a tough task but the team is picked. Check out Lee Grant's excellent article: http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/six-nations-team-of-the-tournament-2015/

Having the games on at the same time certainly would remove the factor of teams knowing what they needed but it would significantly reduce the audience for the games. Irish people would have watched Ireland V Scotland only, Welsh - Italy v Wales etc. While Saturday's set up kept everyone...

I texted my brother with 2 minutes on the clock and told him France won't kick it out if they have the ball at 80 mins. That was one time I certainly didn't enjoy being right. I was just waiting for England to win a penalty or turn it over and score under the posts.

We're voting on the team of the tournament tomorrow. I need about 50 votes just from the fantastic performances today. Overnight I've got to somehow narrow it down to 1 nomination per position. It's going to be tight in a lot of positions.

What a day of rugby, fantastic. Anyone new to the game who witnessed today's action will be a convert for life.

Great performance for Ireland. Looking at it objectively you'd say England can't beat France by 26 or more. But give a team a target, to win silverware, and they've very often achieve it or at least come pretty close to it. One thing is for certain this French team has the potential to take a...

Crazy exciting end to the 6 Nations so far. Wales deserve heaps of credit for their second half performance.

If Fitzgerald had to come into the team I would have preferred that it was for Payne. Then Henshaw could move to his natural postion and Zebo and Bowe might have seen more of the ball in space. I guess this indicates that Schmidt has decided the current centre partnership will be there at...

Rumours are that Mas was back in the French side due to player power. We could well see the French players revolt during the RWC but the last game of the Six Nations is probably too far out for players to risk their RWC berth. I don't think anyone in the French set-up, including the players...

Man that Italy France game was absolutely awful. Just finished watching it for the second time for the review article. My eyes can never unsee the horror. On the championship itself it's going to be one hell of a final weekend. If Italy perform as badly again I'd expect Wales to set both...
