Tom Brady wishes Tom Brady all the best for Super Bowl LI

New England Patriots’ Tom Brady and his Leicester Tigers namesake

Tom Brady is busy preparing for his seventh Super Bowl, and he has received a good luck message from…Tom Brady.

The legendary New England Patriots quarterback seeks his fifth Super Bowl victory when he goes up against the Atlanta Falcons in Houston on Sunday.

One man who might be glad when the Super Bowl hype has all died down is the Leicester Tigers wing of the same name.

That Brady has been inundated with posts on Twitter from fans mistaking him for the Patriots talisman, although he did take the time on Sunday to send a message of his own to his namesake.

How Dupont-less France tossed a grenade into Ireland's Grand Slam celebrations

We conceded 42 we lost by 15. The intercept was a 14 pointer. Ramos doesn’t do that its a try under the posts. But France can do that. The victory over Italy did not get the credit it deserved in my opinion. That was less about Italy reverting to bad old days and more about French brilliance.

I just think credit is due to France for keeping Ireland scoreless in the first 20.

Ireland had chances but we haven’t been clinical inside opponents 22.

The disparity in lineout success was also huge.

Not only are France ahead of Ireland in lineout stats but in that stat is a lot of their throws to the back of the lineout. Ireland have had problems since before the world cup. Something is wrong there and we need a new lineout coach: there I said it.

In all the set pieces and in every stat, France were better than Ireland leading into the match. I had hoped home advantage or coming up against a quality team might show an equalization of those numbers but that didn’t happen.

France’s defense and clinicalness were immense and the latter heaped major pressure and scoreboard pressure on Ireland. When the 2nd LBB try went in it was clear to all that the match was out of reach. The Dynamic Toulouse forwards were on, Ireland were tired from chasing the match.

I think without the Lowe injury it might have become more of a classic match, but really only one winner. Even the first try, Atonio and a friend take a step out beyond the maul. Means Nash has to go around them to cover the blind side. Not illegal, just accurate and clever. A lot of Irish accuracy in their match.


Lastly a stat i’d love to see is tries per line break in a match. Toulouse were above the 50% against Leicester. France are not far off that this year barring the outlier England match. What France/Toulouse are doing after a line break now ti achieve such a high conversion rate bears more looking at.
