It is a very interesting sport indeed. If I were just abit tougher I might could have played it, if there were any local teams for me in the future

Always love watching insanely massive guys massacre other insanely massive guys.
But somebody please do explain to me why you have to dive to the ground when you score

@Kila you don't have to dive, however the ball has to be grounded on the floor. The dive is sometimes tactical to allow the player to ground it without being tackled, but often used as a kind of celebration.

Tbh, I think whoever wins England v France should win the championship. Ireland looked strong in the first half, but not so much in the second, although their defence was good.

Yeah. They only have 4 in the southern hemisphere competition, and used to be 3. It's a great competition every year. All the teams could beat each other, although Scotland and Italy are usually expected to lose. But it usually produces some great rugby.
If anyone can catch the last 15 minutes of this game, it should be well worth it
