Cornish Pirates at home. I'm not a rugby fan but I only know that as I've sorted Pirates hotel accommodation out!

I reckon the Brittania in town, or maybe the Hylands.

For logistics I'd say The Village by Hearsall Common. Big gym and not far from the ground.

Hell of a game on paper to open the tournament. Ireland doing well so far.

French indiscipline being their Achilles heel yet again.
It's all over the place mind - Spotted a crowd segment ten minutes ago and a bird was brazenly smoking a fag!

That's a great response just before HT.
Still an almighty tall order though given their one man down position.

Tournament over if Ireland get the bonus point? Can't see anyone else stopping them.

Too much, way too much. Bit surprised by the margin - Thought the French may have held up the Irish a little more but no doubting the absolute quality of the Irish. (Yet again)

Thought France did well with 14 men to keep the score down, although still a comprehensive Irish win.

If it’s like Italy, smoking bans don’t apply in stadiums.

Yep, can take beer in the stands as well and a decent amount of black market cans sold in the stands themselves.

I honestly thought there was a worldwide (certainly Europe) ban on smoking inside stadia.

As with train station platforms, it doesn't count as a closed space. I think some of the teams that get tourists going to watch them, like Juve, Inter and Milan have their own rules about not smoking outside of designated smoking areas in the stadium but they're ignored and not enforced.

There's a suggestion that Welsh kick for touch went dead - No replay from BBC though.
Or TMO.

The ref said it was, there was a high tackle three feet of the floor and the player who went off for that has just had to go off for a head injury check because his gum shield says so, strangely the player on the receiving end of the tackle hasn't had to, stupid game really being strangled by more and more ridiculous rules.

Bit like life really - Being strangled by rules. The last bastion being rugby. When that happens it's essentially game over.
And I'm not referring to rugby.

Even when I do enjoy games and I do enjoy the Six Nations, I think rugby must have some of the most baffling and daft rules out of any sport in the world.
