chrisjpainter Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 There's a report in the Times today that has the England team saying that they hate the Scots. I really hope this isn't a sign of things to come. Scotland Vs England is the highlight of my rugby year - particularly at Murrayfield- and it's be a shame if all this nonsense started with the Scots. It's already pretty much ruined Wales vs England as a spectacle for me. Good hard rugby, played out in front of a exuberant crowd that knows where the line is will do me nicely.

henry d Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 There was a fair bit of hatred from the family in front of me all the years I spent at Murrayfield supporting England, even when I was there as a neutral (ish) supporter at all the other games. The nut-jobs next to me just slapped me on the back and we exchanged swigs from each others hip flasks. All part of the build up by Eddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will be a interesting first 20 minutes That's it, Scotland at home have to be fired up, we should win at a canter, but that first half against France has to be giving the players nightmares, and the second half still wasn't great. Hopefully Scotland suffer the backlash and we play both halves not like last year. Wales and Ireland should be a great game. 39 minutes ago, chrisjpainter said: There's a report in the Times today that has the England team saying that they hate the Scots.

Spot on, its been my favourite game as long as I can remember, you want them to play with passion and aggression but no need for hate. I really enjoyed watching Scotland v England at Murrayfield, the game was poor but the banter and night out was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Eddie is experimenting with his squad and I am not convinced with the back row and hoping that the outside centre/wingers/full back set up starts to work. Some hefty fellas on the bench so Eddie may be expecting a tight game with less kicking due to the weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 I'd go with what Henry said, Ireland just because of home advantage, I'm expecting England to win, but that performance or lack of against France still worries me. I want to see the England that spanked Australia and New Zealand not the one from South Africa and France. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are part of the very best international competition along with New Zealand, Australia and Argentina. Why would they give that up to play Italy? Just think of the logistics.

chrisjpainter Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 Favourite game of the year time! England win. Hard fought contest, plenty of kicking and running. Lots of nearly moments for both sides and a fair few tries, probably from a combination of great skill and great ineptitude! All in all, a grand day out.

Sort of swung the momentum in Irelands favour and especially after that late turnover that got Ireland pumped. Looking forward to the next clash.

figgy Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 Kicks bit more iffy with the wind. Scotland not listening to the ref. Going to be scrappy with odd moments of flair is how I see it playing out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it’s just the Scott’s the Welsh & Irish would rather support Germany in football 😀 Edited February 9, 2020 by blackbird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjpainter Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 Anyway....back to the rugby... This is chaos. The wind has just ruined it. Willie Heinz has looked really composed though. I'd take a 3-0 at this rate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
