Comments on: Rugby Union: France v Ireland RBS 6 Nations 2010 Preview http://theglobalherald.com/rugby-union-france-v-ireland-rbs-6-nations-2010-preview/2157/ News, Analysis & Reflection Sat, 19 May 2012 18:27:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Editor http://theglobalherald.com/rugby-union-france-v-ireland-rbs-6-nations-2010-preview/2157/comment-page-1/#comment-2575 Editor Sat, 13 Feb 2010 14:59:44 +0000 http://theglobalherald.com/?p=2157#comment-2575 Tony, you will notice I said "placed them in the top 2" who do you suppose I put at number 1? Perhaps the team that had beaten them. The World Champs (NZ choked at the big occasion) were well dealt with by France. Incidentally, you've put quotation marks around a statement I did not say - I said "took southern hemisphere <strong>opposition</strong> apart" not "southern hemisphere rugby". I was referring, of course, to their defeat of South Africa - your misquote is confusing for everyone. Tony, you will notice I said “placed them in the top 2″ who do you suppose I put at number 1?

Incidentally, you’ve put quotation marks around a statement I did not say – I said “took southern hemisphere opposition apart” not “southern hemisphere rugby”. I was referring, of course, to their defeat of South Africa – your misquote is confusing for everyone.

How do you work that out? Didn't NZ beat France convincingly in the autumn by 39 to 12? And speaking of NZ, Ireland have never beaten them in 100 years' of trying. They have their opportunity in June, but given the gulf between north and south, they may have to wait another 100 years. “Took Southern Hemisphere rugby apart.” How do you work that out?
