this is a great game so far HT Italy 17 France 35


interesting Brian O'Driscoll thought the same as i mentioned yesterday in that Finn Russell kick was taken far too quick, i knew it was quick but he said 10 seconds which was just incredible, a hugely important kick with plenty time left for him to steady himself but it just seems like he had a rush of blood to the head


still 7th in the world rankings so Townsend is still doing alright, i really don't know where some think we should be in the rankings, above England maybe but there's some great sides higher than us, we're still above the Aussies

some superb rugby from the French

60 mins 22-54 lovely kick 24-54
64 mins what a try 24-61
75 mins 24-68
79 mins 24-73

FT 97 points in a six nations game yikes
hugely embarrassing for the Italians
Someone told me today that the ref made Russell move 2m closer to the touch-line after he had started getting set for the conversion. Didn't see that on tv. But TV almost missed showing the conversion and it did seem to be taken very quickly. Maybe he lost track of the countdown clock after re-setting? Or did he rush so that in the event that he missed, there was time for the re-start? No shot clock on screen from what I saw.
