6 Nations Chat

Just a thread to talk about the rugby, say who your favourites are to win and what you’ve made of the games as they happen.

I felt Scotland really missed out on a win over England. It was there for the taking, shame.

Wales Ireland was tense! Good game though. I really thought we were going to lose it as it progressed and Ireland went 21 15 ahead. Priestland’s kicks were poor, and with the sin bin we were in trouble. Im sure the Irish player who gave away the final penalty that won us the game must feel quite bad. Some good tries from both sides.

I actually managed to get the match to stream on the local cinema screen using the digital projector, so that was quite fun!

Lucky England get the win!!! *braces for angry Scots to attack*

 

[Alex_G]

Really exciting match today! Good stuff.

Can't believe that France Ireland got cancelled 10mins before kickoff yesterday. First time since the 80's a match has been called off due to the weather. Bet the crowd was angry!

England lucky again. and Scotland indiscipline costs them

Ye I felt sorry for Scotland because they were playing well. Yeah Italy threw away a great chance. Lucky old England

Maybe we'll win the whole thing with lucky wins? xD

I can't believe the France Ireland game was cancelled at the last minute either.
I was gutted when Ferris was penalised against Wales - I still don't think that was a penalty. However, dissappointed as I was, I think Wales deserved the win. I like this Welsh team a lot.

England are well below par.
Since Quato was left out of the back three they have not acted as the attacking force, but as three individuals. They are kept in position for defence .

I agree that they're well below par - On the other hand I admire their taking the bull by the horns and making a fresh start. Giving young, new lads a chance and building to the next RWC is very positive I think.

close game at Twickenham. Too close to call

 

[Alex_G]

yeah tight. Shame about that final attempt at the try for England, I sortof wanted to see it given, those last minute pushes is what i love about the game! I know i'd have been gutted if that was Wales.

Yeah. Just saw the highlights and it seems that England actually played okay for once xD, try was too close to call though

 

[sandandfoam]

Just watched the highlights of Scotland and France. I think Ireland can take this French team next weekend.
Fingers crossed.

One good thing is that the teams are blooding a lot of new young players.

I agree. England are doing a great job and will be very strong come the next RWC imo but Wales are something else at the moment. Their defence last weekend was something to behold.

 

[9Westy9]

I think Wales have a great chance now. 3 wins out of 3 and Italy and France to come. If Ireland beat France then Wales are in prime position, if they beat Italy of course

 

[Alex_G]

Come on Ireland, beat those French!

 

[Terrywoodenpic]

The french were poor in the first half
the Irish lacking in the second
But it was fun to watch... and a fair result.

 

[9Westy9]

draw ain't too bad. All Wales need to do is beat Italy and avoid losing to France

 

[Yerda]

Scotland have been poor so far. Again. Now I'm hoping for a Welsh Grand Slam, and an Italian Wooden Spoon.
