Aled Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Now you can all discuss tomorrows results, but what really bothering me is this: How on earth did i miss this thread, its one of my favourite topics of discussion! Interestin weekend in front of us, and hopefully some good rugby to watch: Can Italy be that good again? Ireland wont get the chance of an early onslaught against England, so are they gonna win(Grand Slam decider there)? Scotland found some creativity at last. Wales need to remember a game last 80 minutues and France are a wounded side, so very dangerous! Beer in the fridge already!

TIGHTCHOKE Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) Lots of empty seats at Murrayfield with less than half an hour to go! Edited February 9, 2013 by TIGHTCHOKE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlandladdie Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Chuffed I was proved wrong today. Good Scots performance. Pity about the Italian try (purely from a Scottish perspective). Feel slightly sorry for Orquero. Great game last week, in different this week. I've got Wales down to win this match, by a whisker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeds chimp Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/21417568 good as it was a deliberate act of foul play and I saw it during the match and said he will get done for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimfire4969 Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 good as it was a deliberate act of foul play and I saw it during the match and said he will get done for that Completely agree. I know Cole was the wrong side and should not of been there but there is a big differance between a stamp to get him to move and a career ending stamp.

NickS Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Cole may well have been on the wrong side but that is for the ref to deal with. A stamp like that is intended purely to remove the victim from the game - or, if serious enough, from the sport altogether. Healy deserves a lengthy ban but we shall have to see what the citing committee decide tomorrow. Rugby is necessarily a very physical game but such thuggish behaviour needs to be (sorry for the pun) stamped out. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick I have had my fair share of being "rucked" and also given it back..but I have never gone out to stamp like that as it was delibarate and dare I say it...cowardly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVB Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Two week ban. That is very lenient imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickS Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Overly lenient in my opinion. From the TV footage, he should have been out for the rest of the tournament as that was what his actions had the potential of doing to Dan Cole. Ruck hard, even try to cheat a bit if the ref is looking the other way but there is never a place for deliberately trying to injure another player.

guest1957 Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 I would have thought double that at least... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aled Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 And so to this weekend.... Lots to look forward to, and a big and brutal battle at Twickenham. If either team "sort it" it could be a historic win! Scotland v Irealand if BOD gets a bit a space Eire victory, but if the Scottiah back row are allowed to close to the offiside line, i would not like to be an Irish Outside Half. In theory Wales should beat Italy, but we've been here before and one lucky bounce and it has gone horribly wrong! I've also got a league cup final to enjoy. (Typical fair weatherd footie fan ............LOL) Enjoy all. Cheers Aled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hedd-wyn Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) Nothing to get too excited about yet... Agree, reminds me of the Ireland/England match last week, a kicking game. The only way to keep control in wet conditions unfortunately. Edit - a fortnight ago sorry Edited February 23, 2013 by hedd-wyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
