Agree 100% should have been a "red" on the day and the sited ban is well justified, particularly as the incident was off the ball, he reacted to the "cheap shot" into the back of Adam Jones by the Irish player, but this is NO excuse, however much adrenalin is pumping there is no room for for this kind of action in Rugby Union !! :-\

Another poor show from England, winning by another Hodgson charge down try, with Italy missing 2 penalties in the last 10 minutes; but a win is a win, particularly away from home, they'll have to be a lot more positive in their next game against stiffer competition, but at least they will be at home, Italy continue to improve under their new coach, Parrise immense as ever !  :)

Disappointed by the postponement of the France v Ireland game, (beer & nibbles at the ready), but players safety paramount, I'm obviously not as disappointed as the thousands of French and Irish supporters who turned up and were only told at 20.00 (stupid time for a kick off anyway !), can't believe such a modern stadium doesn't have any form of under pitch heating !! :(

That is unbelievable for a fairly new stadium.

According to The Independent the reason for lack of undersoil heating is that the stadium is built over disused gasworks and there is fear of gas leaking and that the gas might be ignited by an electric underblanket.

Captain Sam has not passed the medical for this afternoon's game. That's a real disappointment but I'm still expecting the boys to do well.
