Day 2 of the mens competition and what a great showcase yesterday was. Loads of offloads, skip passes, individual skills, and team wonder tries on show and a fantastic crowd. Personally a game every 30 minutes is too bloody slow to watch live, and the highlights were slow, but good for du biere if you were in the stadium I’m sure. Actually last time I was in SdF I couldn’t buy a beer… Sarkozy!

Anyway, today we venture into knock out territory, so enjoy folks!

    Any particular reason they don’t start Dupont? They looked much more alert once he came on. He definitely plays like a 15s nine though – you could see it in the lines he ran

    Bit of a damp squib that last match, but what about the three before! Spoilt for highlights can’t wait for the next round

    France making that look easy. Gold? Anyone brave enough to call it yet?

    Ireland so close there. Gave Fiji a scare for sure. They’ll be thankful for the rest. Which makes a bit of a mockery of sevens imo, the rest days and three day format. Melrose does it in 1!
