ShootingEgg Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) Scotland got so much hype, then forgot to show up. Shame as it could of been game of tournament if they had.

walshie Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 I do'n't really get why they got hyped up so much. They won 2 out of 3 in the Autumn internationals. England and Ireland won 3/3. If they don't buck their ideas up, they could be contenders for the wooden spoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robden Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Which of the six has the best anthem? I bet England would be last with our "dirge." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

France's is the best, followed by Scotland. I always think the longer or more jaunty the national anthem, the bigger the inferiority complex of the relevant country. In any case, the home nations should sing "God save the Queen" - they're bought and paid for and should show their gratitude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walshie Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 It's no fun for an Englishman living in Wales when the 6 nations is on. If Wales win, they're unbearable. If they lose, they're unbearable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grrclark Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Well done Flashman, i saw your avater on this thread earlier and knew that it would be a comment to make me laugh. God save Lizzie and the English tax payer, I love spending your hard earned. The free prescription paracetamol (thanks for those) did the job just fine in easing the hangover after watching Scotland get humped by the Welsh.

England and Ireland didn't play the best team in the world in the Autumn's, though. And Scotland ran them (New Zealand) closer than anyone else could manage - including Wales... Under Cotter we would have won on Saturday... sadly it is that simple. Townsend is not good enough and is undoing all the good work he inherited. Cotter had us playing "Organised Chaos", Townsend has us in Chaos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mice! Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 I only caught the end of the Scotland wales game, its a shame Italy can't play them this week, I think they did well. But by the time the end of the tournament comes around Scotland should have sorted themselves out, so wooden spoon should be Italys again.
