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'

Don’t Brizzle and/or Quins use some other ludicrous term

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

Please tell me that means Fluffers

Mako is out, genge starts and marler is on the bench.

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

Georgian 8 looks a good’un

Just turned it on. How was the match?

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

Fun, and had the added bonus of Scott H and Scott Q reeling off all the names

Looked very handy.

I’d actually start Marler in this scenarios

Sam does like that coat

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.

I thought it was a strange decision.
