    When we are expected to win and are favourites against France we usually flop.

    That's what I predict too.

    Ireland by eight. Our bench will make a huge difference.

    I had a job interview last night for a job I really really want. I was still less anxious about that than I am for this match.

    Dave Mcintyre is like the Ray Houghton of rugby commentating.

    Who does Mathieu Jalibert look like? I swear he's the spit of another famous person (certain it's a sportsman, think it's a soccer player) but can't think who and it's bugging me.

    Josh Brolin or maybe Ricky Martin?

    France have no shape in attack. We're going to slaughter them.

    Ireland looking impressive so far, just hoping the defence doesn't tire out to a very big and physical pack.

    I reckon Josh Van der Flier has around another 31 tackles in him

    They do have a particular physicality to them which is committing more of our defenders to each tackle, and they look dangerous in that way.

    Yer man commentating on Rugby is worse than Ger Canning commentating on soccer.

    Has a look of Ricky Martin all right but not who I'm thinking of.

    Again, has a look of him but I'm certain there's someone he's the spit of. It'll probably come to me midway through the tournament when he's been dropped and forgotten about.

    France don't look like they have any kind of spark (they haven't done in years in fairness).

    Eddie Butler, the Welshman who wishes he was English (a real Dic Siôn Dafydd - equivalent of your "West Brit" - if ever there was one).
