blackbird Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 I love watching the six nations & don't mind at all when the English come & play/loose at the milenum stadium as long as they all go back over the seven bridge & stay there after the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hedd-wyn Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Couldn't believe this when I read it! Brian Moore, a great player in his time, and IMO one of the hardest hookers in history. But not too famous for praising England's opponents Respect http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/17057115 He made a fair point about the hooking game, I think England will dominate the line outs and will probably opt for touch as often as they can. There's no doubt that England have some great footballers in the squad, Farrell being one of them. Got me a bit worried now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caisterboy Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 probably they've been showing some old 5 nations games on ESPN and Mooro despite what some think of him as a commentator would have made any of the current 6 nations set ups at hooker. Very underrated as a player and would have run through a brick wall for his team. He would've driven you nuts playing against him though - just ask the French front 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would've driven you nuts playing against him though - just ask the French front 3 I agree, but I've never considered Brian Moore to be underestimated. like I said in my earlier post/ I based my whole hooking game 'round Moore when I played for W.S. The front row play separate game, that spectators rarely see. This is where Moore was his best. Winding up, and intimidation. If you manage upset your front row opponent in the first hit/scrum, they're putty in your hands for the rest of the game.

Aled Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I too am an ex hooker (£10 per night or a round of beers for the rest of the team...), and always rated Brian Moore as one of the best, he had a strong work ethic to what was then an amateur game. He also gave a good insight into the "old farts" who ran the English game during the amateur era in his second autobiography, i really enjoyed parts of it, but was morbidly fascinated by other parts, and saddened by others. A riveting read for any rugby fan... And so the count down to Saturday begins, this is a very new experience for a Welsh Fan, heading to Twickers as favourites, its also a guarantee to esnsure that England will be well pumped up for Saturday, and relishing an opportunity to kick Wales back accross the Severn Bridge with their tails between their legs.... Its going to be a loooooong week. Tight Lines Aled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its going to be a loooooong week. Tight Lines Aled Hi all - I tnink it may be a longer week for us English boys next week - I really can't see past getting a rugby lesson dished out to us Red Roses on Saturday Lets just hope for a good pitch and weather so its a Rugby match and not kicking on ice like the last two England games. I will settle for making some inroads into you welsh boys with some girly back's stuff and seeing how Ben Morgan goes - he really does look the one to watch for the future on the 30 odd minutes he's been on the pitch and from what i've seen on the Magners round-ups i catch (of which the coverage is pretty average i have to say!) - ta for bringing his game on on for us the last couple of years good luck boys and boyos. PS - just caught up with the highlights of the Sarries and Leicester game - Mana Tuilagi looks back to match fitness so the centres could get interesting too - Brad Barritt and Tuilagi (i suspect Farrel to 10 & negate the Welsh crash ball through the centre channels) vs Jamie Roberts and Jonathan Davies - could be some massive hits!

I was utterley naffed off about Robinson wheeling out the tired old arrogant tag prior to the Scotland game - thought he was bigger than that - great motivational tool though no doubt used by the coaches - it would have had me running through walls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
