Round Three Redux? Round Five-and-three-quarters? In any case, Welsh fans will be biting their nails, or any other available substance, and wondering if France can win with a bonus point and 21 points to deprive them of the title.
Scotland will no doubt have plenty to say about this, as a win with a six-point points advantage will put them second on the table (giving them their best finish in the Six Nations), supposing France don’t score a LBP.
Sadly, both teams can finish above Ireland. Maybe we should just cancel this match.
And maybe we should support France to wind up the OH.

Venter is training with Edinburgh, Tom, I think he played in the recent Glasgow A v Edinburgh A game but I did hear how he got on, they have press blackouts for theses things unfortunately
His direct competition/contemporary would be Matt Currie who has had some game time and has not been named in the Scotland U20s, presumably because he will be turning out in the Rainbow Cup as per Cockers’ promise to bring on some young players

German Doner Kebab in Canterbury. Used to meet up with the guy who ran the main one on the High Street at some casual political meetings in East Kent. Turns out they were a bit of a network. All over the country. Interesting to see how German Doner goes in brexit Britain, particularly in a town that suffered heavily in the Baedecker Raids. Me, I will stick with the Kurds if I am ever passing thru again.
