    the refs shouldn't have styles. the rules are the rules.

    such as poite and garces in the lions tour. what stats can be attributed to that nonsense.

    There are no rules, there are laws and what teams study is s referees style of interpretation of the laws. It’s quite simple really.

    Haskell has come out and said that the English losing is down to the fact that they can't work the breakdown... coming from the premiership and they don't compete at all...and in international rugby, everyone does and they are unable to compete.....

    Well a one-eyed donkey(still a better player than Haskell WAHEY LADS) could have told them their breakdown was a shambles last week. I'm no Joe Schmidt, but even I could tell you that playing a 5, a 6, and a very unfit 8 in your backrow against a very mobile Scottish pack is not going to end well. To repeat that mistake against a French backrow with the likes of Camara and front row poachers in Guirado and Slimani is either incredible arrogance or incredible stupidity.

    There are some very good breakdown specialists in the Premiership. Don Armand and Matt Kvesic both need to be brought into the squad ASAP, and the Lawes at 6 experiment needs to end immediately, or Ireland will tear that backrow a new one next week.

    That's what I mentioned last week, but it's truly bizarre that they had the same problems again this week.

    Barnes is much improved in dealing with players. Far more open with players the last few seasons.

    It was Mike McCarthy, he made reference to Barnes and not been able to talk to him,.....said if you question a decision with Barnes expect to be marched 10m....if Nigel you can have a conversation......
