Waiting List
1. pullthestrings
2. Bathite

Internationals take it out of you especially french and scotland playing on sunday.

With those teams above i would take SAull with the senior squad and play him. Massive fan and think he would make a big difference

Greenwood was talking about taking S.Armitage due to his current form for Toulon.

Prefer to see Wallace over Saull. Think he has a brighter future.

Narraway to Perpignan:

5.Paul O'Connell
6.Stephen Ferris
7.Adam Thomson
8.Toby Falatau

12.Sonny Bill Williams
13.James O'Connor
14.Leigh Halfpenny
15.Quade Cooper - Could be a revaluation at 15

Struggling to get on all week have work issues galore will name team when Ireland and France name theirs.

France is named Matt.

Same squad minus Medard plus Poitrenaud. Bonnaire starts and Pickles drops to bench to sort out lineout issues.

Ireland are unchanged from last week.

Thought bonnaire would start he changed the game last week and did so much graft. Pickles great impact sub but does not do enough work saw him walking a lot on saturday and very little corner flagging. Question his fitness as I do with Ben morgan

Right will name my side first thing then.cheers chaps had not had chance to check anything just seen France side. Very good and excellent bench with servat no longer being a full game player he makes best impact hooker ever as does nallet and pickles. Great bench dupuy in form also

Ideal BaaBaas team for me is probably

1. Soane Tongau'hia
2. Schalk Brits
3. John Afoa
4. Radike Samo
5. Ryan Jones
6. Thierry Dusatoir
7. Sam Warburton
8. Sergio Parisse
9. Joe Simpson
10. Quade Cooper
11. George North
12. James O'Connor
13. Robbie Freaun
14. Rod Davies
15. Kurtley Beale

"servat no longer being a full game player he makes best impact hooker ever as does nallet and pickles. Great bench dupuy in form also"

Servat plays 80 for Toulouse every week Matt. Only reason I can see them persisting with Sz is because Servat is retiring. SZ was really poor against Jocks and Servat made a huge impact when he came on.

Disagree on Bonnaire too, he wouldn't be playing if the lineout wasn't such a shambles against the Jocks, largely due to SZ throwing tbh.

Bonnaire key to France. Has been for a few years. Vastly underrated.

Hooker a problem for france. Guirado not fit or in form or simply not fancied?

I would have more ball players Steve

1 tiny
2 Brits
3 jones
4 gray
5 matfield
6 burger
7 brussow
8 hari
9 genia
10 cooper
11 Joc
12 Barnes
13 smith
14 sivi
15 dagg

It's Hari that needs a big game really, he's been stuttering this year with injury and hasnt performed. I was a bit surprised Pickles got dropped tbh, not a huge fan of Bonnaire past the lineout but could understand he needs to come in after Sundays performance.

Sz was good against jocks. Servat only playing more
Minutes at Toulouse due to injury Botha was starting many games. He does not play 80 as most hookers don't.

Sa average scrummager great lineout and good carrier showed up everywhere Saturday.

Sunday will be a test as best maybe form hooker in world rugby

Hari first game back since November was Sunday and looked rusty but did well. Can't have an int 8 who walks as pickles did.

Watch it back several times pickles missing and walking around. I was at twickers and Ben Morgan did same
Needs conditioning

Gray has been so good for jocks wish he was English. My favourite new player he is a cert lion

SZ was really shoddy on Sunday Matt, even PS-A had a pop at him in the French press. Missed tackles & throwing was a concern. He's never going to be a scrummager but his loose work wasnt good either.

This is fair review http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-union/news-comment/scotland-v-france-player-ratings-7441182.html

Same
As everywhere he was great in loose and scrum. He is a decent scrummager as you can't play top 14 with out being but is no Bruno or servat. Generally tremendous darts as seen in wc. However with pape and maestri you have 2 average jumpers. Again why bonnaire needed. They are 2 heavy duty locks and ideal with hari and bonnaire. Maestri been good this year although everyone looks slow next to gray at moment. Lions next year we are looking good

Ross rennie must be in running for player of tournement
So far been impressed

Another one I agree with

Saint-André resisted making more changes, even though the hooker Dimitri Szarzewski tackled poorly against Scotland, and the fly-half François Trinh-Duc struggled with his tactical kicking at times.

"We kept Dimitri because he needs confidence, even though he missed a few tackles at the start and was lacking in his judgment," Saint-André said. "But we have faith in him and we're sure of his ability."

How
Many did he miss because every other press said tackled well.

Same as in England game saw tuilagi get from 9 to a 6 when I thought he was a 9

2 by the stats.

Funny year for hookers, BdP was as bad as I've ever seen him on Saturday. Poor in set piece and totally out played by Chillboy which I totally didn't see coming.

Oost back in Round 3 or 4, Juan Smith round 7 apparently Matt

Just on 6n stats and ireland,wales and France lost most lineouts with 2.
Scotland lost 0 Italy and England 1 shows how good set pieces are in pro era.

Wales only 2???? They lost at least 2 v England and about 3/4 against Ireland and another 2/3 against Scotland.......

Carter back in training also. Seen smith will be round 4 pooly apparently progressing well. Carter and lot of ab's not playing until at least 4 due to conditioning coach although often smoke
screen.

Players like kaino need to play week in to maintain players like mccaw carter etc
Need to be looked after more.

Loads of explosive backs need treating like racehorses and managed well.

For round 3 sorry pooly

Bad news itfl Beale will
Have to play more lol

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/mobile/rugby-union/17215622

Well nasty that, don't think FB is his position but he played well on Sunday. Was a great match, Jocks really pushed them

I am no fan but Sunday I thought was excellent. His positioning and kicking were very good. He was
Their main line kicker off penalties and in 22

Completely off topic but does anyone on here hate miranda hart on here as much as me. Completely unfunny looks
Like a big handed tranny yet everywhere on tv.

Now
On a billboard at end of my street as a pantomime horse for sports relief. I will donate a grand to see a horse kick her in the mouth or
To see her watch her own shows.

Damn bit gutted about that...really like Medard think he is a real explosive player.

I agree about Miranda Hart, don't find her at all funny

It's her effing giant hands and attempts to be a serious actor with those spade hands that annoys me. I have hands like shovels and she could out hand me

Haha.....I feel your pain. I wouldnt tackle her with Chris's. Makes my missus look like a super model.

On a side note, had Pete Doherty's dad try and give me a bollocking for talking about fingering whilst in Germany. Basically told him to FO in nice terms (thinks he's still in army) can see why Pete turned to crack with that Muppet as a dad.

I am
Proposing you and Chris meet for
Counselling.
Could be like
Chisora haye.

We have found our peace with mutual hate, seems to work quite well until a total knocking of each others players comes into force.

I always have an edge though as Chris's lack of knowledge of all things rugby related is displayed every other post (he'll love that one)

Also he has zero knowledge of T14 & S15 so I can just make stuff up

Chris is well knowledgeable particularly on backs and youth. Respect his views re back 3s
Best on here for it. Good example
Is him calling for Ashton to be dropped.

Took you the millennium to do that with youngs!!!!!

On front 5 play my dog is a better pundit than Chris.

England games are emotional
I have felt like sending youngs hate mail whilst at the game. Such a waste. Could
Do with not playing for
6months. Lots of players done It before lewsey chuter etc all came back better. Leicester is a goldfish bowl and pressure does not stop
Same as
Glos. I chewed out James forester out drinking and then day after he announced was finished. Felt terrible and actually got his number and called him
To say sorry. He could not remember it and was an awkward 10 seconds

Miranda isn't my cup of tea. Brother loves her.

I am a huge Tim Vine and Milton Jones fan. They can make me laugh all day.

Your brother may become your sister if that's his bag Steve.

Milton jones is sometimes really good. Best thing about 1liners someone will like
One of
Them. I like
His dark
Ones

Comedians are good at different things.

Phill Jupitus and Sean Locke are brilliant on Panel shows and regularly have me in fits of laughter.

Who's Miranda Hart? Have i missed something?

I have seen dara O brien 3 nights consecutively before by a twist of fate. Only 40 % or less of the show was scripted so involved lots of audience and different comedy routes and was
Brilliant all 3 nights


Favourite all
Time comedian
Was Richard Pryor. Sensational

Comedienne. Larger girl. Has her own show but has been on Not Going Out and that midwive thing on a sunday night.

Nothing castrating her father 30 years ago would not have sorted driver

Only seen bits of Pryor but quite enjoy it.

A lot of coloured comedians now have their whole act based around being coloured which I find very boring. Pryor seemed very different to that. Gina Yashere is the worst for it.

Massive fans of A Bit of Fry and Laurie and the US Office. Those the two shows which have made me laugh the most along with Blackadder, Friends and Scrubs.

I quite enjoy Michael Mcintyre , think he's genreally some one i could have a pint with. Although for scripted stand ups there's Stewart Francis who's a funny guy.

Love Scrubs - comedy perfectly blended with reality am also a fan of Freinds , Two and Half Men and Rules of Engagment

I like them shows as well. Seen all the two and a half men. Also like How I met your Mother and Big Bang Theory
