Re: Six Nations thread

You watched two poor teams.

Ireland v Italy was a different sport.

yes they run with the ball.

Re: Six Nations thread

WHY do they keep kicking down the middle for England to get possession....surly kick for touch and a lineout???

Wales not threatened the English line even once.

Because Wales know they’re not capable of winning line-outs, even their own.

That article is written by someone who knows the game better than me, but it doesn’t explain how Scotland, a nation far more in love with football than rugby and with only the two regions, is also making a better job of coping in the modern game than we are.

On the pitch,although I wasn’t over impressed by England, this season’s Six Nations looks like it’s being contested by five teams trying, with varying success, to play a modern, more attractive brand of rugby and one soldiering on with “Warrenball” - has the game passed Gatland by?

Re: Six Nations thread

I will be glad when its all over and football and Horse Racing is back on in the pub on a Saturday.

Watched both games. The first game was really enjoyable and entertaining.

The 2nd was garbage. Wales near useless and England poor. What made the 2nd game even worse was the commentary. Jonathan Davies in particular really bad , shouting about England dominating repeatedly and the other 2 not much better. If I was home id have turned down the volume.(or more likely switched it off).

I wouldnt be suprised if Davies hasnt demanded for the England full back to be included in the New Years honours list this morning.

Vive la France!! 🇫🇷

Looked like a half decent performance from Wales today judging by the scoreline and bonus point, although I do fear for us next week.

Re: Six Nations thread

Wales won as well and go to Paris next weekend - I thought England were pretty ordinary against us, but there’s no way I could see them being thrashed by a France side that had not really played that well in their first three matches.

Also not bad from a team that doesn't travel well.

Jonny Wilkinson brushing it off like it was a bad day at the office, "we'll be much lighter next time" :facepalm:

Re: Six Nations thread

Decent performance in Italy although I thought they were under par themselves.

Didn’t expect England to get slammed like that.

Re: Six Nations thread

Whilst it's quite funny to see the posh types a bit quiet the vast majority of English people don't have much interest in rugby

The Welsh media try to lay it on but an England Rugby team defeat upsets a few public school chaps and that's about it
