Removing Italy results (apologies); 8/10 games in this @SixNationsRugby finished within five points. Four of those games were decided in the last three minutes, two with the final play. Most tries in a 6N tournament. Most red cards in a 6N tournament. Glorious, glorious chaos.

I cannot even fathom the reaction if Owen Farrell had said 'I wasn't given a fair opportunity or respected' off the back of Wales v England in this year's Six Nations. The rub of the green; is this not part of rugby, every sport and a pretty big chunk of life?

@davidflatman @duncanbell3 The broader conversation wasn’t about expectations of long term support. It was more that clubs can be brutal with players’ careers, but also expect (as do fans/media) players‘ absolute loyalty. Ellis’ point is that it’s business on both sides, but players get criticised for it.

Was Faiva's red card foul play or poor technique? If it's the latter, does that warrant a permanent disadvantage? Reckon this game may well advance the cause of the Orange card. Offending player sent off, but another player can return after 20mins. As you were...
