guest1957 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 At half time it was a game the Scots could have won. The welsh stepped up a gear and they didn't. A real shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet boy Posted February 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 I think the England game for Wales will be more difficult than people think!The inclusion of Courtney Lawes and Manu Tuilagi to the England set-up will bolster them. George North will be out and that a massive blow to the Welsh backline.Although Warburton should be back! The two games England have played so far have been lacklustre and TBH they have been lucky to win.They really could step it up in the next game and spoil the Triple Crown party for Wales!

vole Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Who says England are arrogant now ? I agree Wales are playing excellently but may I return the compliment and say it would be all the sweeter to stop their crowing ? Tough task but even the newbies could cause you a big upset . If England cant even defeat their neighbours then we can forget about the big boys down South for a few years yet . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedd-wyn Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Personally Im hoping it will be close game, and hope to see some good quality tries on the day... From both sides. No hard feelings of arrogance at all, this is rugby not soccer. I believe you can admire another team if they play well regardless of your nationality. But you have to take into consideration that England failed to put 10 points on what most would agree were the weakest teams in the tournament. This is fact.

This is fact. And Wales had that free flowing and dominant first half against the Scots at the Millenium Stadium.... hmmm With regard to big hits and games, it is certainly something Wales have been lookin to do, so for that to be neutralised by bigger hitters can only be a positive thing for England Edited February 13, 2012 by guest1957 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can give up any God given right to success while we find our feet but it worth it just to dispense of the toxic ( and arrogant ) cash driven attitude of the old guard . I can forgive the ferry jumper if only for that right hander on Ashton . Here,s to a good game . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there was a 14 point difference in the end. As for the 'Both Lawes and Tuilagi will make the welsh big hitters feel small' comment? arrogance at it's best.

docholiday Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) well anything is possible but so far all England have done is just scrape a win against Italy and Scotland, Wales have beaten Ireland and outplayed and scored against Scotland, for me England will loose to WAles, France and Ireland Wales will play France for the championship. but who knows and that s the fun of sport Edited February 14, 2012 by docholiday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree B.B, only having bit of a laugh. No hard feelings 1957, you obviously know what you're talking about and not a stranger to the sport :thumbs: If I were an English player and read that article, I would defiantly be wearing long studs on the 25th and wouldn't blame them. Looking forward to a great game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to a great game. Agree - I love that,nothing motivates like those sort of comments,I always love being an underdog and pulling the odd result out of the bag! After all's said and done, Wales will be favourites - if that cant lift the squad nothing will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aled Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Nver forget the weekend the Rugby League Cup final came to Cardiff (i lived there for 5 years). There was not a spare bed in the City, I had numerous long chats with rugby league fans who had a whale of a time. Was also impressed that it seemed that there were fans there from teams not in the final (other club shirts Hull KR, St Helens etc were quite obvious), which happened to be....Leeds Rhinos v Bradford Bulls!
