Mice!

Yes I'm expecting Wales Ireland to be the game of the tournament, i just hope Ireland noticed how much of a difference it made in the second half when Scotland stopped kicking high balls and switched to cheeky chips. I also think Wales have had a much tougher game than Ireland will have against France so would expect Ireland to be fresher. As for England Scotland, I'm expecting us to win it but not a big score, some of Scotland's team really gave a 110% yesterday and that showed with the injuries so not sure what sort of team Scotland will have, the winger number 11 was outstanding and seemed to move at twice everyone else's speed, number 20 when he came on seemed unstoppable, i couldn't understand him only being given ten minutes. Roll on next week 👏👏👏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick miller Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 (edited) I think Ireland will be the undoing of Wales' championship hopes, England will beat Scotland comfortably and the lack of a bonus point for Wales will mean that England will win the championship, Wales placed second.

bumpy22 Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 whichever way it goes it has been a great tournament this year. good luck to the three teams fighting it out. the only downside is italy i dont like to kick them when they are down . but at the moment they seem in a worse position than when they joined the five nations. surely some of the other teams should be given a chance to be promoted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick miller Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 It's been great to see Wales back on form to be honest, and comforting to see Scotland being useless as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are purely in it just to give the other teams a chance of a bonus point. Maybe give Georgia or someone a chance, but if they aren't up to scratch either, go back to 5 nations. They can't enjoy getting a yearly thrashing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Jeremy Guscott said the same, but watching the highlights program Sunday evening Brian Moore made a good point, saying Italy have improved only getting beaten by most teams by around ten points, only England have put a big score on them. The problem is everyone else has improved as well. I still see Italy as a rest week, fringe players coming in people back from injury and me giving the misses a week where I'm not saying"sorry love rugby is on" 8 hours ago, Saltings said: all teams have played to win to the death first class rugby improving all the way to the final sportsmanship above all else win or loose rugby is not soccer no magic sponge or dirty play yes sir to the ref how can I help a gentleman's sport win or loose excellent play to date no team has given up until final whistle 1st class sport cant wait until next week end should be first class Spot on!

eddoakley Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 I said at the outset the Ireland would be the big game for Wales and I'm obviously happy to be looking forward to a possible Grand Slam on Saturday. I still think it will be tough and a very different game to the others so far. Ireland will be more likely to make breaks from their own half or the middle of the field with, I think, fewer periods of prolonged pressure without scores. And I envisage more points than the other games Wales have played. Wales have a game plan and stick to it. Nobody seems to panic. In France we were awful but didn't fall apart instead coming back from 16 points down to win. Against Scotland in the second half I think Wales showed that they are one of if not the best defensive side in the world. There are not many teams that could defend for 30 odd minutes and only let in one score. If we (Wales) can now show some of the attacking ability I think we will overcome the Irish. It could be the game of the tournament. I may even go to see it..... Edd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie to this Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Good luck to Wales on the Grand Slam, but obviously I will be hoping Ireland win, for England's sake and because I'm half Irish. It should be a good game but if Ireland play like they did against France, Wales have got their work cut out. Very much looking forward to this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do have some good ball carrying forwards and we do have some dangerous backs, but the same could be said the other way around. Might not be as exciting a running game as was hoping.
