The game of France yesterday was bad... If there is again Saint-André in head-coach, we will be ridiculous in World Cup...

I'm not a fan of Rugby League but I am a fan of Rugby League Nines. Instead of 13 players there are 9 players per team.
Auckland held a tournament weekend recently (abit like a 7's rugby tournament). It was the second year of this now annual event. All the NRL teams were involved.
Games are 9 minute halves and there are only just 5 tackles per possession. There is also a bonus try zone where a 4point try is a 5 point try.

Ireland 6 nations champions again so much excitement in the three games today

 

[Alen]

Great day, watched the three games and never switched to football. Ireland impressed the hell out of me.

 

[ManusXavi]

Congratulations Ireland. I feel abit sorry for England. Needing to win by 27 and winning by 20 vs France. Good Effort but not good enough

My Highlanders did that while being dominated in the match. It worked and somehow, with help from the Chiefs missing Penalties, we won the match

Inevitably the southern hemisphere 'Super Rugby' competition will deplete in star talent (kind of like the football clubs in South America). The Lure of Superior money that Europe rugby clubs offer is greater than the lure of the All Blacks jersey. New Zealands rule of overseas New Zealand players not being able to represent the New Zealand All Blacks is going to have to change. http://www.stuff.co.nz/manawatu-standard/opinion/67626564/editorial-piutau-exit-shows-rules-arent-up-with-play
