Why does the commentator insist on saying Theo Dan has done things when he's not even in the country let alone this game??

[@liamsmith6173]

I think Theo Dan is the ref he mentioned at the beginning

[@liamsmith6173]

I take it back I have no idea who Theo Dan is

[@jacklav1]

The clue’s in the name printed on the back of his shirt.

[@xxxWheelchairsxxx313]

He’s obviously got confused with Theo macfarland. He shouldn’t have made the mistake so often but it’s not hard to see why he’s done it is it mate

[@tomw4322]

Theo Dan? The commentator has absolutely lost it

[@xxxWheelchairsxxx313]

He meant Theo macfarland

[@nikolakozhuharov1042]

So Theo Dan was both in North London and in Paris at the same time. That should be Play of the Season, not just the Week. And somebody please inform Discovery Channel.

Terrible defence by Mako Vunipola, who looks about as interested as his brother did for England at the RWC, followed by a chickenwing pass that goes forward?

[@dezmundo1251]

Christie has gas

[@jonchess8844]

😊

[@jacklav1]

I think Finn does get charged down quite a bit.

[@Mr___X]

Standard stuff from Finn Russell. He should be in his prime years now, being at peak maturity without losing anything physically, and he still plays like a first season rookie. One good thing gets undone by at least one bad thing. The bloke is a net negative for whatever team he plays for.

[@dezmundo1251]

He gets the bums on seats though

[@Mr___X]

@@dezmundo1251 yeaah, which is why he's a great investment at club level (and paid as much as he is) for clubs that don't have a history of winning trophies in recent years (racing, bath). would he have been given a chance in the toulon team of 10 years ago? probably not. or leinster? no way. but his level is club rugby, i agree, where his mistakes are mitigated by more games in the seaason and where it's possible to build a team around him that complements his skillset e.g. massive PI centres to truck it up and get over gainline when russell is going nowhere. he's not a good international rugby player and even scotland, with their limited expectations, would be better off moving on from him now.

[@MrTeamcam]

Yep. Literally the only professional fly-half to ever have a kick charged down. What a load of shit.

[@dsh301]

What a load of mince

[@ascott1953]

foolish boy

[@hedonaut]

Is Finn Russell the most overrated player of his generation? Even in this example, his contribution is -2 points, but his fans will only talk about the offload.

[@samwardlaw6563]

Bull 💩

[@finh6798]

Most overrated of his generation seems harsh but definitely overrated by some. Makes more mistakes than most world class 10s, but nobody has a bigger impact on the game when playing at their prime

[@jamieadams178]

still the best 10 in the home nations by a country mile!

[@golfencrucible1074]

I find it hard to see how he could be overrated when he’s faced constant criticism. I think particularly now that criticism is mostly outdated. He’s mercurial, risky but highly technical and talented and provides more entertainment value and excitement than every other home nations option. Still feel he would have been our best bet to win the last Lions tour. His small contribution on the park changed the way we played and made us dangerous. We see what Gatlands style of attack brings - quarter finals.
