You mean the disciplinary committee not the citing commission. Pretty simple really, they are both out for the rest of the 6N.

Yes, you are right, disciplinary committee.

Though it seems a ridiculously grandiose title when all they do is blanket exclude players for the rest of the tournament regardless of the severity of the crime when 'committee' implies some sense of judgement might go into things. Tournament Exclusion Rubber Stamping Office might describe their activities better.

On the whole i agree with the selection salarcahser, but i would love to see Chris Tzsinia at 6 and Jac Morgan at 7 i think it could be a good mix. But hey ho i'm not the coach.

Looks like he has been picking names out of a hat........but he has never liked Biggar has he? If Owen Williams is your best 10 that is a problem. And Rees-Zammit on the bench.

I do feel at the moment its the best of a bad lot!

So here we are weekend no 4:
So, Italy by 5 (but living in hope) France by 9, Ireland by 10. I am going for away wins in 2 of my matches, neither visiting team will have it easy! Looks like a wooden spoon for us.
I'll leave you with my usual comments, sing loud, sing proud, drink some beer and enjoy the rugby but Dewch Mlan Cymru/Come on Wales. Cheers Aled

Italy won in the U20s. Decent game and quite even, other than the schooling our loosehead was given by the italian tighthead. Oh, and the sloppy interception try we gave them.

You discount Scotland at your peril.

I see Ireland U20s beat Scotland by a cricket score, 12 tries and converted 11 of them! Did you see any of it?

 

[ozzyian]

yeah, we got one back at the end though

I didnt.

Salarchaser i watched a part of the match according to the S4C commentators that Italian tight head was only just 18, and was one of the yonungest players on the pitch! A bright future there.

I am off to Twickenham this afternoon. Glorious sunny day here in south west London at the moment. If they were kicking off at a sensible time (3pm) then the game would be played in perfect conditions. 4.45 kick off, rain forecast at 5pm!

No idea what to expect as I haven't see a single minute of 6N rugby so far this year.

He was reported as 128 kg.
Apparently he's played 70+ minutes in every game, so some engine on him as well.

There will be French clubs queueing up to sign him.
Quite a few of the Italian players have senior experience in the Italian or French clubs already.
The next WC cycle will be interesting to watch as they come through.

Funny that there was a Dewi playing for Italy (Dutch parentage 🤷‍♂️ ) and a Luca Giannini playing for wales.

 

[SOS]

OH dear England

 

[mows]

Ooft!!!
And that score flattered England!!!

 

[pfeul]

Just delighted by this historical result and by this perfect game by Les bleus !
But so sad for this England team and some of these great players.

Now as some might expects, I'd be delighted by a Scottish win tomorrow!

 

[Aled]

Funny that there was a Dewi playing for Italy (Dutch parentage 🤷‍♂️ ) and a Luca Giannini playing for wales. They talked about Dewi on S4C apparently his Mam liked the name!

At the moment i'll take any win, but Wales won due to Italy's mistakes and a fair bit of luck! Other than the victory cant see us take much more from that game!
England v France: Now i did not expect that blimey! What a performance, and at Twickenham as well. Commiserations England, if its any consolation there will be a similar result next week against us! Where's Pfeul he must be over the moon. Looking forward to tomorrows game, good luck both sides

Sir Clive Woodward said "there is not that much between them".
Always thought he was a total asshole, now he has proved it.
