    4 Tommaso's in that Italian backline. If they score a **** load of tries I am calling them the Tommy Guns.

    The knee. Highly misunderstood and crucial part of the brain.

    I'd imagine there'll be a review of all footage to see if there was anything to merit calls of a HIA at all, and if nothing was there then who was it that called for it.

    Obtain the medical reports. There's an independent medical official there.

    If nothing else, they'll be reluctant to do it again.

    Any medical professional will err miles on the side of caution if a player claims to have a head injury, there's no way the doctor did anything wrong, it's the players/coaches/French team who are abusing the system, and how do you punish that without also possibly discouraging players from reporting possible head injuries in the future which is obviously a huge no no.

    Will they really be reluctant to do it again? I seem to recall them pulling something similar in last year's 6 nations. And I remember looking at Rabah Slimani's club substitutions at some point last season and he'd come back onto the pitch in somethling like 50% of his games played at the time which is nuts.

    They wont be added to make 7 teams in the competition. That would add several extra weekends to play the tournament out and that wont happen as non union clubs wont agree with that.
    I dont think any of the existing 6 nations sides will want relegation as the competition is so important to the finances of them so i dont think they will be added. The Georgians do need more games against all of the 6 Nations countries though be that in November or in June.

    If you're Wales, where do you want to take the game? Trench warfare? Garces is ref for what that's worth.
