I expect we will look shocked for about an hour by the ability and ferocity we will face. Then win by a few points by dint of bench impact.
If we don’t take it seriously enough, could be some issues - no matter what the coaches drum into players, there will possibly be an element of treating it lightly.

Are we the only c**ts that use the term 'Finishers'?

As expected France putting out a big tight 5 with a load of talented if untested / inconsistent players behind it.

If they come with a sod it lets give it a crack attitude, and it comes off the better side of 50/50 for them, we could be really stretched.

Yes. And I will not rest until we start calling the first XV 'Fluffers'

Quins is Game Changers :(

I can't recall Briz' term but I do remember thinking it at least made ours the least ridiculous term in the Premiership

I had not heard that Mako had a calf injury, never mind that he has failed to recover from it.

Georgian 21 looked good too. Is he one of their youngsters or an older head?

Watching the Wales game, anyone see the clear out by Liam Williams on Canna? All seemed to agree that it was legal, when Williams hit him in the face with his arm when clearing him away? Is that legal?

Italy pretty dire atm though

I don't think there's a less inspiring fixture than Wales Italy

Edit: does that shove in the face not upgrade it to a red.
