This match is over.

The knock-out stage is going to be fantastic.

If France play with this intensity it's hard to see anyone stopping them.
Their pack is quick and the backs are powerful.

Ireland and SA will have a say somewhere. Bowling over amateurs aint no show. Lets see how they like it when the big boys turn up to punish them some.

Good hands as well, the ball is always appropriate height. Means that Harlem Globe trotter stuff is that bit snappier and cutting.

They get walloped every year in the six nations and produce a decent player every few years. You wanna take the other five sides to Georgia or Rome?

Italy are hardly amateurs. The guys play in France and Britain for top clubs.

Tbf they'd a good 6N this year but they announced they were changing coaches after the world cup before it started. There's no jeopardy for these players.
