For the supposed elite of their sport, the handling and general play on show whenever a bit of rain comes down is embarrassing. Was the same in France last night.

The commentators are saying it's quality.

I'm a RU fan but it always amazes me how we can be the poor relation to this.

Check this out: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/21416088 Quite extraordinary really - possibly the worst defence I have seen from a pro rugby team. What a shambles!

Pretty awful skill levels on display by England and France here. Think Courtney Lawes is almost in double figures for missed tackles.

Italy v Wales was even worse, admittedly in poor conditions. Italy's handling was worse than a Championship 1 team, but I suppose natural rugby skills like that are not coached in Union anymore :s

Announced crowd of 400 at Zebre today,but I think even that was pretty generous. But how do you market a club that loses every game?

Surprised by Scotland's win today.
