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.

Hoping Wales can give Ireland a better game than Italy did England in the Women’s 6N.

Oh well… La Rochelle too strong in the second half, and they looked very good — some excellent tries. That try in the first couple of minutes after half time seemed to turn the tap and it never looked close after that.
They’re an entertaining team and it would be good to see them in the Final.

Hah! Right — it’s years since I’ve seen that film… Probably more influenced by the spelling of geyser…
Anyway, now for the good guys versus Leinster — should be a good game.

Also Ulster by 25 :-)

Agree about Kayser. Warm, funny, knowledgeable. Does a bit of punditry for French TV, as he’s based in London.
Doubt La Rochelle will go all the way. Among French teams my money would be on R92 or Toulouse, although both are seriously depleted before tomorrow’s games. One of Leinster or Exeter should also get there.
Anyway, isn’t there a draw for the SF? So who knows how it will pan out.

Exeter surprisingly changing winning tactics. They lead 14/0 by playing fast and wide, they now play into Leinster’s strenghts, systematically going into the funnel and getting turned over. Weird.
