International Rugby Matches

What happened to the French in the second half of their match against the All Blacks at Auckland.
At half time they were 11-8 up but ended up on a 11-52 thumping

Oh look, it's Doddle

England have found a true star winger in Joe Cokanasiga. He's just walking through the Australian tackling.

Radio commentator Ian Robertson has today hung up his microphone after 47 years in the commentary box.

Current score England 37 Australian 13

NZ suffer second joint worst loss, beaten by Australia 47-26 in a Championship match and also have to play with 14vmen after Scott Barrett was sent off before half-time. Is this the first time we see vulnerability in the All Blacks with the World Cup coming up?

Scott Barrett will be suspended from Rugby for 3 weeks following the world cup after his sending off last weekend and he is only the fourth All black to be sent off. Who are the other three?
I have now seen the incident and it does appear to be ridiculous at first but he did not wrap his arms to tackle.

Nigel Owens yesterday, announced hisc retirement from international rugby after officiating 100 international matches

He will continue to officiate in Pro14 and Welsh league matches.

He has earned respect I think from rugby playera and fans alike right across the world for his officiating.

A much changed England have beaten USA 43-29 in a high scoring encounter at Twickenham this afternoon.
