    I'm not sure if you've mentioned previously that you were at the match two years ago and are attending again this week.

    Maybe they will be there as character witnesses later on in the process and wish to familiarise themselves with the courtroom environment. We don't know.

    I think in the UK witnesses are not allowed in the courtroom until after they have given their testimony.

    It was a poor decision by the Ireland captain

    I hope the Irish rugby players have more of a gameplan than simply smashing jailbait.

    I recall being very happy with the opening round team selection last year - was it henderson, obrien and stander all in the back row?

    I hope my excitement at seeing ryan and henderson in the second row is not foreshadowing a repeat disappointment.....

    No, Henderson was in the second row. He had a pretty poor game. It was a good team on paper though yes, Sexton missing being the big issue.

    Ah that was it.

    A shout out to John Ryan as the only non Leinster man on the bench, btw. If anyone hears someone whistling "Stranger in Paradise" it'll be him :pac:

    No further discussion on the court case, this thread is for the France v Ireland match. I’ll add a reminder in OP and the match day thread.

    May have been discussed but I haven't seen it. Has Picamoles fallen out with the coach?

    Out of form. Fierce easy to drop out of the reckoning in France. You could make a good team of Frenchmen with 5 caps that disappeared off the radar I reckon.
