Bit of obstruction just means his team mate was doing his job. Enough to put take the would be tackler off but not enough to get pulled up on it.

What an individual try. Aus won't be happy with their defending but as a neutral have to appreciate that one.

Watching it on sky sports so it's Ieuan Evans and the other guys name escapes me atm.

A good dust up when the French have their tails up is an age old tactic in the 6Ns. Get them concerned about that long enough and you can survive until they go back to playing average and you can get back into the game.

There was plenty of intensity in the handbags there. Wobs need to transfer that to their play.

Well done Tomane saved a certain try there. Thought the kick was the wrong option with 3 runners inside him.

Well for the first 20 mins at least, France can't be trusted not to flit between good and awful several time during a game.

That try was too easy.

The only way anyone will be looking for the current French jersey in the classic jumper section in 20 odds years time is if they win the RWC in the thing, it's horrendous.

I don't think even the most patriotic Englishman would put their anthem forward for best in the world.

Scotland just not good enough. They had a real chance today but didn't deliver a performance to justify anything better than they got. NZ reserves did what they needed but it wasn't a great performance from them. Carter looked understandably rusty. Their bench helped them to see out the game...

Scotland really letting this one slip. NZ have been poor in the first half but they're ahead. God help Scotland if the ABs click for 10-15 minutes. This game is real chance for Scotland but they need to start the 2nd half well and get themselves a few scores ahead. They'll have to be wary of...

Interesting how aggressive the Sky interview of Stuart Lancaster was. Pressure really mounting on him now and it will only get more and more intense as the RWC approaches.

I think Marmion will give us a real second option at 9 if he continues his development. Murray is going to be there for a long time but some genuine competition for his shirt won't do him any harm and certainly will bring Marmion along. It might turn out to be an O'Gara and Sexton situation...

Seriously WTF Aus Rugby, you really make it hard for people to love you these days.

Argentina were good value for their win. Haimona had an excellent game for Italy and looks a real long term prospect in what has been a really weak position for them for a long time now. When it came down to it Argentina had more quality in the backs and that paid off with their 2 tries. Italy...

Here's the Ireland squad for this one. 13 Changes to the starting XV that beat the Boks. Ireland: Felix Jones, Craig Gilroy, Darren Cave, Gordon D'Arcy, Simon Zebo, Ian Madigan, Eoin Reddan, Dave Kilcoyne, Richardt Strauss, Mike Ross, Dave Foley, Mike McCarthy, Dominic Ryan, Tommy O'Donnell...

It's a weak NZ team on paper that's for sure. But if they win the test match then you can't really complain. Sure the Scots might feel disrespected by the number of changes but if they record a first ever victory against the ABs all that will be forgotten. The current Scotland side has the...

Really good common sense shown by those who moved the Italy v Argentina game. The Samoa situation is really depressing to read. The whole game of rugby should stand up and take responsibility. I'd really love to see a global fund set up where by the Tier 1 nations can contribute to the...

Sounds like the great work you did last season is carrying over to this season. How many of the squad that lost 71-0 last season will be in the first 15 for the revenge game at the weekend?
