    @Thaum – Carley is England’s #3 ref (after Barnes and Luke Pearce).

    Oh dear, France down to 13.

    Gutless decision there by the ref. Either the defender stopped a try, or he didn’t. If he did, red card, If not, no offense committed.

    So Italy have conceded a yellow and a penalty try. I can see the yellow, but not sure about the pen try.

    *Not suggesting Addison will be picked to start above Kearney (R), but he’s a good back-up.

    Why Kearney (D) is apparently anywhere near the team is a mystery to me.

    Lara – amazingly, Cooney was chucked out of the squad. I suppose it’s good news for Ulster, but not for him.

    Our first-choice wingers should be Earls and Stockdale. Balocoune is also very good; Ireland are not hurting for good wingers. Kearney (D) should be nowhere near. It’s Leinster bias.

    If this referee ever gets an important game between two good sides there will be trouble.

    On that chip ahead that Huget dropped there were 3 Frenchmen well ahead of N’tamack when he kicked it.

    Oh, and Huget is a bellend. He should be exempted from coverage by the video ref.
