HAHA, yeah, google took some liberties. Slaughter from abbatage (which can be translated as slaughter) mass take down, basically tackling.hp18 wrote:Google translate is awesome sometimes. My particular favourite
Jonny Gray (22 years, 30 caps, Glasgow): the other Gray
Richie's younger brother makes a name in the second row. Slightly smaller (1.98m versus 2.07m), a little lighter (119kg versus 126kg), the caddy Gray compensates by his slaughter. He and his eldest son constitute one of the most mobile and efficient teams in the world.![]()

I don't get how "Richie and him" became "He and his eldest son "

I fucking love google translations.

Another French Article on Zander Fargerson,

Google translate:
If the whole of France leases Guy Novès because he does not hesitate to launch high hopes tricolor, Vern Cotter also relies on the nuggets coming from the Scottish formation.
We are used to see executives facing their opponents in fierce duels, real matches in the match, like the one that is expected between Spedding and Hogg . What is less usual is to see two new capees in the front line engage in this kind of exercise ... Also Cyril Baille, 23 years old, is likely to face the right-handed Zander Fagerson , Of two years his junior. The youngest pillar in the history of the Scottish selection (21 years old on January 19th) , he made his debut on the bench last year against England, before taking advantage of The wound of William Nel to take the braid. Some selections later, and he already made his hole at the angle of the melee of the XV of the Thistle. And considering his young age and the requirement of the post, only the bad languages can speak opportunism. 4 times titular in 5 selections ( including the November tests) , the cornerstone of the Glasgow fray , the Perth native of Edinburgh , has not finished impressing.
Video Credit : World Rugby
Already international U16 , U18 , and U20 , the team transition was made without the slightest hitch for the solid right-hander (1m 88, 125kg) . It must be said that Glasgow providing half of the players of the national selection, it is not the benchmarks which it misses ... Only professional since March 2015, it is also the youngest player to represent Scotland on the international scene Since 1948 and a certain Bill Black, who had made his debut against the XV of France in the cauldron of Murrayfield , also at the post of pillar. To be discreet as the boy, he likes to win and informed, especially as a former National Youth Choir ( National Youth Choir ) , it should not be the last to celebrate the victory . From there to predict the same reconversion as Omar Hasan ...
Meanwhile, the French melee is warned: also holds the diploma of rescuer, he knows perfectly where to press to hurt.

Thanks for clearing that up. "Gifle" comes up a lot in French Rugby titles.

Dunno if anyone's posted, but no Du Preez in the Enbra matchday squad.

Hmm. Curious who would lose out if he were to make the 23. I'd be interested to see him at some point though.

Re: 6 Nations
40? Italy be lucky to keep this below 60 at this rate. Absolutely nothing they can do.
It was so much easier to blame Them. It was bleakly depressing to think They were Us. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

Reliably the dullest game and the two dullest teams of the championship every year.

Re: 6 Nations
That was a cracking chase from a fairly aimless kick from Stander.
Some awful cover defence from the Italian flyhalf this half. Think it was Gilroy's second try he just bottled it.
Jesus, 10 - 63 is some kicking.

Re: 6 Nations
Early signs ominous for wales I think, England look hungry and not too fussed about the atmosphere

First blood england, they are looking very good. Wales need to get their hands on the ball.
