Pointless?

The anthems are being sung and the Irish are social distancing !
Why? In a few minutes they will all be barging into one another and their opponents!

Yes it is pointless considering how close the players come to each other. They are making a political point in my opinion.

In my opinion the C4 commentary was atrocious. After ten minutes I switched over to Amazon Prime with Andrew Cotter, David Flatman and Shane Horgan commentating.

[zoony]

I don't disagree Gof but my ear was caught, and I'm not being woke, by how the female co-commentator was ignored..She tried a couple of good-natured remarks and comments on or about game incidents and wasn't even acknowledged let alone joined in her view..I was embarrassed for her, an England winger in her own right. Damned bad manners at the least and unprofessional at worst.

[Michael Rolls]

Must admit the commentary tends to go over my head. I’m too fixated on the screen to really take much notice of what is being said. That second try by May was an absolute cracker!

Agreed..Absolutely world class and then some..Loving the Edwardian athlete look..

Yes - hadn't thought of that, but as you say, those moustaches hark back to an earlier era
