Judging by the cross section in that advert, there's some serious inbreeding going on in the valleys!

That is completely harmless. Some of those reactions are incredibly precious.

I'm very skeptical about this whole story... Seems a nice little publicity stunt for the BBC Cymru boys, a bit like that other ad a few years ago that was "pulled"

I don't think it's much of anything tbh. Neither "offensive" nor funny.

They should have done one on England voting to leave the 6N and have a tournament instead on a truly global level with Canada and India.

The Six Nexit.

France name almost an unchanged team, Goujon comes in for Chouly who drops to the bench.

Christ that's a large image

Goujon and Bourdon both came through the Clermont academy. Both left the club in 2012.

Nope, it appears that coaches are encouraging players to get a knee down when tackled

Make it a 7N championship and add in a European squad made up of B and C players and rotate home venue every year. Similar to that Pacific islanders team that were around a few years ago

Languages, reputations etc would play there part in this I imagine and make it non feasible ?

That would be a good way to see if you could make the heads of everyone involved in Georgian rugby explode

Waste of time. If you add a 7th team you add the Georgians who have won ENC1A for past 6 years yet don't get many games against "Tier 1" countries outside of world cups.
The 6Nations is a closed shop and that needs to change asap.

BBC questioning Italy's inclusion already, calm you flow lads, Italy beat ye in Murrayfield two years ago.


Watching Daly's try again, Cuthbert looks like a bloody second row chasing him down.

Cuthbert is the size of a second row to be fair.

He was definitely caught ball watching and you can't do that against a player with Daly's speed.

I read that he made 7 carries and 4 metres. But I don't quite believe it

Aye and he kicks like a second row too.
Shame he doesn't tackle like one.

Daly lined him up and burned must have thought it was too good to be true.

He carried the ball into the dressing room at half time I'd say.

Very small sample to look at so far, but Italy games aside, all 4 other matches have been won by less than a score with nobody getting a try bonus point but all 4 losing teams getting a losing bonus point.
