6 Nations

[Old Skier]

Not sure what happened there. Rolled over by a very good English side playing very fast quick release rugby. That's what us Welsh are supposed to do .

Never mind, I can predict who's going to win at the Army v Navy match in March, Nott that I ever remember much after the game. Shame the old RAF types never get a game.

The RAF don't have a bunch of Fijians in their ranks to help them out

Not because there's to many porkers then :lol:

Blah blah blah, another look at RU objectively from a blinkered league fan.

I think its pretty safe to state blinkers are not the sole preserve of the league fan.

Very true bud, too many are keen to knock either code without fully understanding the other. Easy for a union fan to slag league as a stop start game with no tactics other than get the ball and run until you get put down then start again. Likewise a league fan saying Union is all kick and chase, where in reality on both parts it's simply not true.

I love both codes of rugby but go for union more because that is what I played all my life. Played a few games of league at uni and the fitness levels required are beyond belief

I enjoy both as well

Both using an egg shaped ball but different skill set from thrm

Great games

Nice seeing Italy give Ireland something to think about (for now). Been to a few Wales/Enland - Italy games and their fans are fantastic. Especially good when we go across to Italy.

 

[Old Skier]

Ireland taken 60 odd minutes and an Italian yellow card, to get into first gear.

 

[c1973]

Gutted for Italy there, thought they deserved a try from a decent period of possession.

 

[Old Skier]

They keep on having a go. If that's Ireland at its best they are not going to beat the likes of England or Wales

 

[c1973]

I only caught the last 15mins, they looked as though they gave a decent account of themselves. Certainly they have come on leaps and bounds (although still getting beaten) in the last 15-20yrs.

Quite fancy a wee upset against the French later. I have a feeling in my bones that Scotland is going to click this year (based on nothing but blind optimism and casual browsing of international rugby in the sports section).

 

[Old Skier]

Scotland starting to show some form so here's hoping

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Had some great fun with the Welsh contingent at the club today. They took it in good spirits although gutted at the way they were strangled out of the game. Ireland disappointing but sometimes you have to win ugly and to give them credit Italy has been improving leaps and bounds overt he last few seasons

 

[c1973]

That's a game we should have won.

A good, tight, enjoyable game to watch though.

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Yup, yet another glorious defeat.
We should be used to it by now.

Well played Scotland, proud of you to a man.

great effort but not a great match for the neutral to watch. Couldn't believe how much the pitch cut up.

Well he was never good enough to play for England. Glad that you are so proud of English cast-offs.
