Tesco oops no insult intended but what a load of B…..The French hate the English almost as much as the rest of the UK so you can only be scared that he is a good fair ref & will ping you all the time, I have listened to him on Ref mike a couple of times & he is very good at telling the players where they are out of order. Other than Nigel Owens he is the only ref I have not ended up screaming at on TV watching rugby. Garces, Owens and Barnes are the top 3 for me.

Talk about getting your excuses in early. This is almost as bad as us England fans with Steve Walsh

I can just imagine the response of a French ref being given orders by an Englishman

Brighty’s right though

SA can’t play their way out of a paper bag at the moment
Aus are flaky and don’t know who they should be playing at 10
Kiwis will choke
Ireland will look great and then collapse in the quarter-finals – as always

So yeah, this is pretty much a rehearsal for the world-cup final

Was feeling sorry for you Brighty – all that flak n’what not but then you come out with

“– This is like a mini world cup final, win this and well win the whole world cup”

Jazus what ARROGANCE!!!!

But seriously – think it’s time people stopped throwing the “arrogance” word around – it’s getting old. I suggest we replace it with – The English are up their own arses!! Pew Pew!!!!

Let me know what you think – is it a runner?

I can’t see a French ref, or any ref, taking instructions from the RFU?

Fair enough Col. My head can’t make it’s mind up, my heart says Wales so I’m going for Wales by 5. I hate predicting less than one score wins as it means I’ll be stressed for the whole match but I can’t see there being enough to separate these two by 20 or more.

I think it’ll be a cracking match though – proper old school NH thunder where there won’t be much basketball but it’ll have an edge, atmosphere and passion that will be unrivalled.

Garces will be the biggest problem Wales have, he will undoubtedly be under RFU instructions to make sure England go through …… never seen a French ref that gave Wales a decent rub of the green.

so looks 50 / 50 Brighty with the crowd the difference, no idea who will have most support but more tickets would have been available via RFU to England fans, either way you have to enjoy the game and the occasion, can’t wait for it.

Seriously the bonus point thing was a wind up & seemed to have worked well, I think my pick was England by 6 on superBru & other than Japan v SA I have been pretty close.

I think hp is better at defence but lw at offence. But tbh that’s because I haven’t seen lw have to defend all that much so bit of a mystery
