Re: This six nations wotsit

Clearly you know, but for some reason you felt like you wanted to make a big show of how little you care for the tournament.
Not starting a thread about it would probably have been more effective.

When I was a kid there was a joke about maltesers rolling off a table and Sammy Davies Jr. Thought it was hilarious at the time, but having just told it to myself it didn't seem as funny as it used to be.

I never knew , gosh thats easy, if i was a welsh footballer , I would give up and swap sports , just imagine not having to travel all those miles to dark corners of eastern Europe . Just rock up in Rome , few Peronis/ Pasta, jog around a pitch, huddle together a lot , sprint to the touchline ,line up like in school ,jump with help , stop again , huddle alongside large bottom chaps , shuffle forward a few yards , all fall over , move forward another 5 yards , penalty , kick 3 nil , bingo qualification.

Only ones that screaming ,daffodil wearing ,over sized pissed up girls seem to get , and dozens of hospitality ones, for folk who have not got a clue about the game, or even catch twenty minutes of it, as they are too busy watching the big screens , in the toilet or queuing for five pounds worth of plastic beer , but they did catch the fireworks, and Shane Williams .

As everyone watching football is a classy, knowledgeable person.

:-)

I regularly go to games at the millenium and the audience that sits by us have far more of a clue than the stick it in the net brigade, throwing vitriol at opposition players and the ref at football. There is more to watching rugby, a lot more.

Football fans giving it the big one about the civility of rugby fans will never not be funny.

And the cardiff ground is filled to the rafters with glory hunters who didnt give the welsh team the time of day a few years ago.

I'll be at the england game and itll be far better than any welsh game baring maybe belgium.

I'll always prefer football but I wont lie to myself that it is better. Cardiff is immense welsh gameday.

Football fans looking down on rugby fans like they are intellectuals is always great.

Have you been to an away city match? It's like someone started running a coach from the hills have eyes ffs.

Both are enjoyable sports to watch, there isn't a competition. If you like one and not the other fair enough but there's nothing more boring than saying "my sports better than yours!"

Ok, we have established the fact that it is a sport although obviously not a world sport as no one over here has heard of it. Any more details?

The six are a closely kept secret as you can appreciate by you lack of any knowledge of this mysterious thing.

You will be safe but best not travel over the weekend as something may be happening but due to the media blackout details are sketchy.

It's not about intellect for me. Far from it.

I dislike the fact that Rugby, at least in these here parts, used to be the game of the working man but isn't any more. To get to watch Wales v England in the arms park, you either had to be a member of a rugby club or get very very lucky. It's not anymore, it's an event. And anyone can get a ticket if they've got deep enough tickets or a vague connection with someone who wants their business and invites them to their box. And don't get me started on the cowboy hats, daffodil and sheep heads.

The rule changes over the years have ruined it for me. Lifting in the line-out used to be a penalty, players needed skill and athleticism to time their jump right and win the ball. These days, players strap handles to their legs ffs. If you needed to bring a sub on, a doctor used to have to declare a player unfit to continue. Now, you change half the fecking team with 20 minutes to go. And what's all this bonus point bollocks?

I generally dislike the media treatment of the "event. John Inverdale and Eddie Butler in particular. I dislike the fireworks, I dislike the corporate snouts in the trough.

I used to like the game, hell I used to play it, but what we'll see on TV this Saturday bears little or no relation to the game I used to watch (and play) in the 70's.

Cool.

I imagine they didn't give the slightest shit about the Euros either. And we'll be banging on about that for decades.

And NFL teams use rugby as the benchmark of how to perform tackles etc.

Rugby is used massively.

I am unsure why you are surprised wales england is now expensive.

Local rugby clubs still get priority on the cheaper tickets.

I'm not surprised it's expensive - the cheapest ones left are £175 each, but surely that just proves my point, this is no longer the game of the miners and steelworkers from the valleys.

Now we both know ticket prices on viagago and resale platforms are not a good indication of actual sales.

Cat A - £100 SOLD OUT
Cat B - £95 SOLD OUT
Cat C - £70 SOLD OUT
Cat D - £40 SOLD OUT

When Wales England in the Euros were being sold by the truck load at over 400.

I've always found this argument to be a strange one. Mainly because Wales had pretty good attendances up until around 2006 when shit really hit the fan, also comparing the attendances of the Six Nations to qualifiers is grossly unfair. Wales' games in rugby are often against big hitters like France, England, Scotland and Ireland

I'd like to see how many people would bother going to watch a Rugby World Cup Qualifier against Andorra after half the squad had pulled out already :sherlock:
