Clarification: this is the last penalty for France. Penalty called by TMO / awarded 2 phases later. (The tackle was on Josh Brennan too!!!)

This very smart by Bordeaux! Was waiting for a team to do it. Getting the edge winger to catch the box kicks but makes them very vulnerable to been counter-rucked with their back to the defence. #RugbyAnalysis

this is a great piece of play by McCarthy. Watch the back lift by Genge - releases Itoje causing the gap that McCarthy goes through. #ENGvIRE (power lift disadvantages?)

New laws around the rugby tackle is going to take some time to bed in. Ball carrier has to present a target area to be tackled. A few of these yesterday. Coaches beware !

a 6 v 6 situation before O’Brien’s try. England’s Edge Defence continues to be a problem for them. But the “Overs” line by Doris is exceptional - Dingwall completely falls for it. #ENGVIRE

These late switch lineouts have become very popular in this year’s #SixNationsRugby - But are the switches now happening too late? One for the next referee meeting? - missed offside too!!!

Selection conversation must have been funny this week for Garry Ringrose - “you play on the wing” - “ya”. “oh & can you jump at 2 on a 5m lineout”...... #LEIvBAT

Another example of the New #Rugby Tackle laws in action. The tackle "assist" must also be low. Had a few of these on Friday. Coaches beware !

So how do you fit 2 world class 10s into a starting XV - some of the interplay was so good, especially in the 2nd half. #AUSFRA #RugbyAnalysis 🧵1/4

asked a few times about this one - if you throw over the 15m lineout, the lineout is over/offside line is gone/open play. Players are allowed to flood through. Good awareness by players. #RugbyAnalysis

4 yellows and a red card - a if honest were lucky not to get another 3 cards especially on the penalty try. Anyone know what the record for most cards in international rugby game is? #IREvRSA

This is very good by Russell & Freeman. They spotted how slow Australia were getting back into their restart shape. No Gold jersey in the 22m . #AUSvBIL #Lions2025

Bordeaux’s 3rd try was very good. So many attack tools used - going after certain players, attacking the ruck defence, the bridge pass, offload, width, getting inside the scramble. Pulled the defence apart. LOTS of detail in this!! #RugbyAnalysis

Does your team have a plan for playing with a yellow card? how about 2? This is a good example of having a yellow card plan. - Change the pitch size / low risk (1 pass plays). Really smart thinking by Leinster and probably won them the game. #RugbyCoaching

Really liked how Northampton set up their attack. Very smart to Split the defence/Avoid the "smash zone”/flat passes/create 6v4s - play a smaller game. Great coaching plan & execution #LEIvNOR
