The 6n is the cash cow that keeps paying. Relegation is unthinkable. Italy for Georgia? It's just too far. The Nations cup we are in theory playing now could offer some hope, but looks yet another closed shop really.

The tier2 world trophy in Lions years is my solution. This is also then the world cup qualifiers

Wales getting pumped as predicted. 13-31 at 50' I make it by the radio

Great to see Italy hold on for that win. Should keep the Georgia 6n crowd abayed for another couple of years

I honestly can't believe it wasn't curses based already

I use EndeavourOS btw

Playing to the ref is what good teams do tbf. I've seen Scotland get that wrong for years. I missed it sadly, but it sounds like a fine margin game, yet another good episode of the France vs NZ epic :)

To be thin clients for cloud gaming. No thanks, back to retrogaming it is then!

Nor did Argentina take that scalp tonight. And we were 4 pts shy ourselves this year in Dublin. Home adv may mean that it's a coin flip in 2025!

Argentina nearly did it tonight. Ireland ultimately with too much discipline in that defense to overcome. And too many caps, far too many caps - when are some of the 100+ retiring?

Yous in Scotland is great to wind up Proper English speakers. If they whinge they get a y'all

Great to see OpenAPI being even more embraced. It truly is fantastic for multi-team engineering

No, quite surprised at that. Did they use a football pitch, or was it the rugby stadium?

Yes that advantage was far too long. Scrum was a shitshow all game sadly, Scotland looked well out our depth

Wales are traditionalists at the top, part of the reason they are struggling. Personally I'm for it, even if Scotland’s looked very soft in the stadium.

Could Wales and Fiji please stop with the cards? There's a game of rugby to be played!

What a match to catch on the radio it was. So good to hear the commentators shout nooo :) Defense was obviously optional yesterday, here's hoping Scotland go like that today too! (Wales v Fiji likely to be a high scorer too)

No way are England top tier right now. But I do agree there is a top 4 then a drop off. Scotland has an inability to crack them and that's the debate about Townsend. As to the why, it's the depth imo that allows them to defend with such ferocity AND attack. Frequently we see one or the other in players, but the top 4 nations have a player pool where the world class do both. They also have player pathways that are world class that develops these individuals, which pays dividends in the long term

England sounded genuinely better this week. Keeping Smith on the field was crucial, and putting that score for your side is fantastic, no matter the opponent. But damn are they weak in D. And the 6n is all about defense.

Me too. Seeing them lose like this is hard. They have had 15 years more tier1 and done little with it in reality. But the rise of los Pumas is also fantastic to see in contrast

Busy bit of travel for you then! And I'm late to the match here, but had 2 folk saying I have to tune in now.

ABs putting Ireland to the sword there. Ireland only really looking dangerous when NZ were down to 14. AB defense shut down any platform from Ireland and they couldn't figure out how to unlock, despite a massive amount of ball. James lowe though, he's so good
