^ trolling the Aucks is in this case a by-catch, not the target species.

France fucked that. Had so many chances in the first half, great fortitude England. Deserved it in the end.

French fans must be starting to question Galthié’s tenure, such a golden generation and a pretty empty trophy room to show for it.

Not sure you can blame the coach for such ridiculously butter-fingered handling that cost three tries in the first 15 minutes. They cut England to ribbons. Though Galthié would be well within his rights to kick Ramos from Twickers back to Toulouse for some of his braindead decision making.

Gatland gone, won't see out the 6 nations.

Candidate list doesn't look to conflict too much with ours:

The WRU have already began searching for his long-term replacement with Franco Smith, Simon Easterby and Michael Cheika among the contenders.

Deckchairs, Titanic. Though Gatland didn't help himself with silly, stubborn selections. Leicester are said to be after Franco Smith to replace Cheika. Proven very, very good at club level, his two years coaching Italy left little mark.

Pete Samu starting on the wing tomorrow in Penaud’s absence for Bordeaux. Classic.

Seems Ntamack won't be available v Italy because he wasn't officially released from the squad for last weekend's Toulouse match which would have seen out his ban.
