6 Nations time

[UkBCyeti]

France are looking so good.
Watch Antoine Dupont.

As for kickers, the NFL did look at rugby kickers years ago, and they were told no by most of the rugby players.

Big win today for the biggest underdog, and the try scored by one of the smaller dudes on the pitch.

Awesome.

So, instead of pads, they wear gigantic amounts of muscle mass? Interesting.

As a Wales fan...I am not stoked.
As a rugby fan, it's awesome to see Italy finally win a game. 36 losses in a row!
France definitely deserved it.

Not quite. Look up Ange Capuozzo on youtube if you're interested.

As long as you can take a hit and keep going, you can play rugby. Doesn't matter your size or shape.

You mean this guy?

Guy has bigger thighs than I bet 95% of the population. and he is definitely an outlier in a game filled with brutes - just look at the other two or three dudes in that picture. Yhuge.

There's some big boys for sure. That guy is 5'9 and 150lbs
He's also not that much of an outlier. There's many small guys that play.
The different positions on the pitch lend themselves to different body types.

Antoine Dupont- best player in the world. 5' 9" 185- surrounded by giant humans.

Back for more. Maybe we can get more than 1 or 2 watching this year? It is on CNBC.

France Italy match was everything Italy wanted it to be, almost.
That little 12 year old Capuozzo had a hell of a game. Almost died going for a try, but hell of a game.

Halfway through England Scotland right now. Check this beast out:
Van der Merwe

Watching France Ireland right now. The Super Bowl wishes it was this good.

France may not be the dominant force this year.

There is a really good Netflix series about the 6 Nations last year. Does a nice job highlighting the teams and the positions.
If you have any interest, it helps you understand the game a lot better.
