I just went through the agony of watching the France-Ireland game

it was boring stuff - somewhat worse than the semi-final of the RWC where the All Blacks played rugby and the SA team did not play rugby.   The difference of todays match was that neither of the two teams did not play rugby and a justifiable question could be asked - do spectators have the right to go sleep during rugby games due to sheer boredom.   
I can now understand why there is such a huge difference between NH and SH rugby - the difference is in the speed and accuracy of execution by a team consisting of 15 players. 
That is why I am looking forwards so much to Super Rugby - at least then we will see some real rugby.  

 ...n otso clever I just woke up with five minutes to go ...just as well I didn't set my alarm clock...I'm reading the Jaguars team that you South Africans have been putting money on to win the Super Rugby were rubbish as well...

 Mike, are you watching the Jocks v Wales? Also you are aware that the France v Ireland game was played under terrible conditions. 

 I am out of cape twon and didnt watch the game. After reading ou maaaikies post my irst thought was what were the condidtions like.Ou maaaaikie you need to take this into account.

I was wondering is an interesting politial post with deep insights from Beeno would allieviate the boredom

The French subs, especially at scrummie and flank got France on the front foot. Conditions were poor, but the French out gained the Irish by 390 metres to 220. 

I barely watched it. Total crap. An advert for Creatine junkies at best, at worst a recipe to fall asleep

Best advlce - stay with rugby issues of which you know a little bit - avoid politics of which you know virtually nothing.
