    Picamoles off - now that's a blow. Though it will suit us if he is absent for next week.

    Picachu off. Thought he pulled up before making that pass. Hands up if he's in your fantasy team :(

    Lovely try. We'll have to get ourselves a few Fijian mercenaries, they seem to be unbelievably tailored towards being wingers.

    In a choke tackle the ball carrier has been tackled so you're entitled to complete the tackle.

    In a maul if you just tackle a non ball carrier at the front of the maul it's dangerous so hence the penalty. However if you manage to reach the ball carrier through the middle you can then tackle the carrier and bring it to ground legally.

    Thanks, was asking because I thought that's what the Italian did for the first pen of the game. Hewas pinged for collapsing even though he tackled the ball carrier through the middle!

    That clears it up though.

    The AR had a good close look at it. There wasn't much in it but he was in a very good position to see.

    This is a very entertaining game.

    Both teams keeping the ball alive and using the offload well.

    Both hands up if you decided to go with Picamoles instead of Parisse.

    I take back what I said about Canna, he's as poor as everyone they tried last year.

    Not sure that was a high tackle but his fingers looked like they were going somewhere they shouldn't be.

    That was clever of France to take it quickly - try looked simple.

    How bad is Plisson at kicking that they're sticking with Bezy here?

    Neither side seems to have a decent kicker.

    It's still very loose from France but they do look to have a bit more direction about them than they did last year.
