Attacking kicks are the game at the moment, as the Six Nations showed. And this was mad from Ruben Love this morning. A cross-field thunderbastard into the path of Newcastle-bound Fehi Fineanganofo.

Huge coup this... @bmcsport was able to sit down and get right into the @SuperRugby weeds with CEO Jack Mesley, for a wide-ranging chat that covers off everything from Law Variations to fan engagement LIVE NOW on 8/9 YouTube, Substack & pods everywhere! buff.ly/WIYNLqt

Affies heading to Paul Roos this weekend. They have an U19M side. Thats 13 open teams! Unfortunately Paul Roos dont go that deep 🤣🤣 I heard Affies can also field an U14L side this year!!

@scrumpox1 I’ve written that in the piece. Sounds like you haven’t read it.

@CharlieFelix You haven’t factored in that England had no jeopardy, a free hit with nothing but pride on the line…add some meaning, real tension and the cracks will appear all over again

I don’t think even in the height of optimism after 12 Test wins that England supporters would have thought their side could plunder seven tries at Stade de France. But it happened. thetimes.com/sport/rugby-un…

@jamesgraysport Socks handy

@CharlieFelix Looks to me like 20 defenders chasing in fairness... oh that would be the shirts

Spencer was superb, but Van Poortvliet came on with France leading 38-32 and was integral to England's (excellent) seventh try. On his kick at the end, England weren't keeping possession for two minutes just outside their own 22. Right decision, let down by chase.

Joined by @tomhamiltonespn for some more composed reaction to France-England, before wondering if England will change their coaching staff. Also The Rugby Bunker's first (but potentially not last) outfit change. Thanks @adidas for the 🔥 stash. youtube.com/watch?v=jwYnEb…

Deepish dive into England’s attacking performance in Paris, which was excellent but left questions for the future. 👀 Open-minded on kick-return 6️⃣ Lineout weaponised again ⚡️ Scrum halves zig-zagging ♻️ Far better multi-phase thetimes.com/sport/rugby-un…

@casrugbyshirts Sure, but that wasn't the case on Saturday.

@CharlieFelix Maybe, but it was still an interesting decision. If a team needs points late in a game, giving the ball to the opposition and hoping for a penalty is a low percentage play.

@casrugbyshirts Arguably should have won a breakdown penalty off the back of it too

@CharlieFelix Leicester gave the ball back to Bath with less than two minutes to go when they needed points to win a final last season. Maybe it’s a club thing.

@JHJCSports Ha yeah - it was easier at the ground in fairness

@CharlieFelix Shows what a farce the shirt clash was, that you really have to zoom in to see how the kick chase was
