  • I'm a little concerned at England ditching so many players in one fell swoop, I think the Scots could win. But I hope not.

    It's a dull game played by slow witted ruddy faced knuckle draggers who enjoy whacking off on a biscuit.

    You did ask :wink:

    I think England will get more of a battering than the average Glaswegian mars bar.

    Happens every rugby thread, it's the equivalent of "why do you follow cycling, they re all on drugs"

    It's boring, and boring things make me yawn....

  • -2C in the Stade de France, if it was a football game, they'd have called it off!
    France have comprehensively outplayed Italy, a trio of good tries.
    Looking forwards to the Calcutta Cup, hope we'll bash the Jocks in a similar manner, hope it isn't a boring game of just drop goals & penalty kicks (England's weak spot, last time!)
    Remember that you are an Englishman and thus have won first prize in the lottery of life.

    Scotland looking a bit...well...English so far....

    Charlie Hodgson is just not good enough unfortunately, too many simple mistakes...

    Matt Dawson is the most annoying pundit on earth - he's doing the R5 coverage. He sounds like an excitable computer nerd.
  • Now that was lucky. :P

    Glad I got that wrong, plenty of humble pie left if anyone wants any. :lol:

  • Scotland and England were just awful. France and Italy looked better. Let's hope for better game in Dublin tomorrow.

    Hmmm, well I ll give both teams the excuse of being young an inexperienced for a few weeks....

    Did you not see the group game from the WC? Although I agree the first half tonight was dire, if it wasn't such a prestigous fixture I would have not bothered with the 2nd half and done something purposeful, like clean the oven maybe. We did actually get a little bit of rugby in the 2nd period and if Scotland learned to offload they probably would have won. France, Ireland and Wales must have enjoyed how poor the two sides were.

    I watched the Ireland v Wales U20s on TV yesterday and saw far fewer errors - shocking level of skill on display from two international teams. That Denton guy looks good for the Scots, but that's the only positive thing I have to say about either team.
  • Architects of our own downfall once again, poor England side though. Still at least I had some disappointment insurance on with Ladbrokes. Now all I need is Ireland to win by 6 or more tomorrow. If you've got shares in Ladbrokes better sell them now!!!
    You've no won the Big Cup since 1902!
  • Even as an Englishman, I must say that it was more a case of Scotland losing, rather than England winning.
    Still, Hooray, we've stuffed the Haggis-eaters!

    The winners of Sunday's game will win the championship (but probably not the Grand Slam). Neither of today's winners looked particularly good.

    but on the other hand, I always think that, but on the third hand, I'm often right. We ll see which Wales and which Ireland turn up...?!

    The French looked good IMO, if they had a decent front row then I think they would walk the 6N.
    Hopefully Wales will beat the trotters today and give the French a run for their money in the comp later.

    France were clinical against a poor Italian team. I don't think you can draw many conclusions based on that performance - they did what they had to do.

    Wales throwing this away. Crap line-outs, crap goal kicking, and now Bradley Davies being a total idiot.

    The 4 posts above this one summarise the game nicely :wink:
    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.
