Bypassed Leopardstown* for Paris - what a bloody match and apres-match. Still not right. What a kick in those conditions.


*How good is Samcro?!

Ross O'Carroll Kelly will have to invent another rugby holiday to celebrate it... sing a song for SextonMas...
 
A superb passage of play, very composed....reminded me of how the All Blacks play. A bit worrying we were stopped on the line twice. If it comes down to the England match I could see the Poms targeting Sexton.

I think Ringrose and Zebo would have added that something extra.

Considering the conditions, distance & what was at play, that was some kick!!

I agree ref Ringrose and Zebo. Kearney is not an attacking threat from fullback and playing two 12s at center means that we have no width out of the ruck.

Yeah, I agree. A good servant for the national side, but limited to catching, passing and kicking. A good fullback should be unpredictable for the defence and be capable of finding holes.

Italy should be a formality but I would expect Scotland to throw the kitchen sink at us!

Scotland have a few world class players but not much of a pack. We should dominate at the set piece.
I'd like to see Carbury and Lamour get some time against Italy.
 
I think there is a mistake in the title of this thread, Sexton is no mere man! :D

Yip. I'd be trying to put Scotland away in the first half and give key players a rest for the England game. Scotland have a habit of coming back though.
 
Considering the age we live in, I would appreciate if the title of the thread could be changed to 'SEXton is the man/woman'. Or at the very least, we should make the accolade gender neutral.

Of course, you are right Sunny.

Presumably, there's a time limit for editing titles?

Perhaps, I should have written: GENDERton is the perdaughter?
 
Maybe we should stop making fun of a serious topic (not this thread, but gender equality).

Hard not to make fun when the Canadian Prime Minister decides it is now inappropriate to use the term 'mankind' and we should use 'peoplekind' instead. Is that really the level the debate about gender equality has got to....

Yea, true, but people saying stupid things about a serious topic doesn't suddenly make the topic stupid.
 
Sexton had a brilliant game against Wales, the bad kicking not withstanding, but the rest of the team, especially the new boys, did really well.
Scotland will take some beating though!
 
Well - are we all set for the match tomorrow?

Dan - to answer your question in initial post - awesome - if only he had different owners! Did you go to war on him?
