Biggest ever scandal to hit French club rugby?

Given their history that's a HUGE claim to make. How the hell do you top collaborating with the Nazis?

Well from the unionista's point of view its much worse because they are on the receiving end. Do you really think they feel any shame whatsoever about their collaboration with the Nazis? They got exactly what they wanted from that. Its only theft in their eyes when they are missing out on the illicit pickings.

I Have Always Been A Fan Of Rugby Union I Even Play The Game Myself And After Watching The Start Of The Six Nations You Can Always Appreciate Good Players And Good Teams, Especially The Team I Follow Ireland After A Disappointing World Cup And Previous Campaigns *Including The Loss To France At Croke Park To Cost Us The Championship* This Year Like Wales We Have A Very Realistic Chance Of For The 1st Time In Our History Completing The Grand Slam After A Fantastic Win Over France At Croke Park, Brian O'Driscoll For Instance Is A Truly World Class Player And Supporters Of Either Code Can Appreciate The Quality And Inspiration Of The Man...

i for one am hoping ireland win the 6 nations. i got them pre-tournament at 3.75. they're now priced at 2.88

You do realise you don't have to start every word with a capital letter, just every sentence and proper nouns.

Italy v Ireland, 14:30

Wins for France, Wales and Ireland I would think.

scotland could get a hiding if the french get it together.

Let's hope so.

i'd quite like wales to show everyone just how poor england really are.
then see martin johnson try to push the blame onto everyone under the sun but himslef after the game.

Shane Williams pulls out injured. Henson is already out with a bruised ego.

Another 4 and England are in with a chance.

England and Wales a suprisingly good game. Almost as interesting as the Salford vs Quins game at the willows in 2007

I wish the ref would stick his whistle where the sun don't shine. I thought I would watch a bit of the match while having tea but the ref is totally biased against England. I don't really like RU but watching this ref is an eye-opener.

I watched the game - a rarity for me.

Seemed to me that although Wales had field position, possession, etc only one team exerted any critical influence on the game and that was England. At times they were solid but their weaknesses were many and obvious. Yet, they outscored Wales and Wales had to rely on England's big errors and the refs penalties to score.

Two poor teams and the poorest won.

duly amended

Two very poor yellow card decisions.

Both totally justified

Martin Johnson said in the press this week that England were going to slow the Welsh ball down.

They did so illegally 3 times in the first 10 minutes and were warned that the next time it would be a Yellow card so the 4th time card well done ref.

As for the 2nd card a deliberate professional foul and would even be a yellow card in league.

You're having a giraffe, Dewi.

Aye. But there were lots of inconsistencies.

I personally cannot stand the tw*ts that commentate on the Beeb, but some of what they pointed out were for once accurate. Such as the feeding at the scrums.

Worseley was absolutely fantastic yesterday. It always amazes me when he doesn't play, England look so much better with him on the field.

Worsley did the work of 3. One of the 3 was Tindall, who was abysmal. England were better when he was off the field, and scored a try with 14 men.

I loath Brain Moore and his spitting anger style of commentary. I red-buttoned the game and chose Radio Wales instead.

Did you know that having the forwards take the ball into heavy traffic is 'playing like Rugby League'? According to the welsh commentators it is.

Ah that's his name. Can't stand him one bit. How he gets a job is beyond me.

England are rubbish, the ELV's are rubbish, the referee's are rubbish.

Brian Moore's commentary is therefore spot on.

he's still annoying.

Not as annoying as Guscott.
