    France in disarray, especially in terms of the management, I can see Ireland winning by 8-10.

    I disagree, he is a very good host and I think they made a right choice (although I am basing that on hisb other career arenas) but the whole atmosphere from the studio to the commentary to even that pitchside commentary just there is nervy

    Well seeming that BBC don't do ads, you are hardly playing on a level pegging!

    In fairness, TV3 forked out a lot of money to take the rights from our licence fee recipient. The ire should be directed at the latter

    You wanted even more of your licence fee spent on outbidding a private company. Riiiight.

    I'm enjoying the Rugbypass feed of near total silence, and now the clack clack of studs in the tunnel. No analysis at all, just live footage from the stadium.

    When we are expected to win and are favourites against France we usually flop.

    I wonder did they give people lights to hold up, or are there just that many people who are stupid enough to leave their camera flash on.

    Nope....................... not what I said at all but sure whatever you think yourself. I am glad TV3 outbid them. But if people are going to moan about ads, there is a very valid reason for them.

    Riiiiiight.

    Who does Mathieu Jalibert look like? I swear he's the spit of another famous person (certain it's a sportsman, think it's a soccer player) but can't think who and it's bugging me.
