figgy Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 I too think France could do it, just need to keep the same momentum for the whole game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltings Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) rugby just gets better and better as the tournament goes on (its not football) a good clean respectful game hard won what's not to like both sides in the same pub after no dramas my daughter is in Dublin for a few days she cant believe the atmosphere with Ireland and wales supporters a clean game hard won is sportsmanship in my opinion win or loose have a pint after no dramas Edited February 9, 2020 by Saltings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie to this Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 Personally I think it is Ireland's year, possibly a grand slam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powler Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 England were lucky Scotland's lineout was terrible, they lost a lot of territory from kicking straight out. Shame about the booing aswell, a bit embarrassing for real rugby fans. Loved the Ellis Genge interview at the end. Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDog Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 The Irish deserved to win. The England game was ruined by the weather. No one should be surprised by the Scottish crowd booing. The Scots, the Irish and the Welsh all truly hate the English when it comes to rugby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've felt it's not been as bad from Scotland, but you have to wonder about some Welsh supporters that would have to question which is better, to win the championship or to beat England. Must be quite a hollow support if it's so taken up with being defined by another nation. Shame the women's game got the axe today, but probably the right call. I'm not sure what it'd be like trying to kick a ball in an open stadium - with 70mph winds blowing! Still, it's a postponement, not a cancellation, so the Slam's still on there.

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.

I've only seen the second half of Scotland v England at my brothers, looked very messy. Watched the Ireland v Wales game earlier, very good game, I didn't know Mike Catt was at Ireland as well, certainly makes the game at Twickenham in two weeks time interesting. Ireland certainly look good to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For twenty minutes in the second half I thought Italy had a shot at something extraordinary. France completely went off the boil.Two or three times I was thinking 'If Italy get the next score...' But that usually led to another French try! I think that's 24 Six Nations defeats on the spin. Ouch.

greenshank1 Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 Thought Ireland were a massively improved team yesterday than their performance against us the week before. Glad I watched the Scotland v England game from the couch rather than Murrayfield where I would have spent a fortune , got soaked and watched a shocking game. Weather kind of spoiled it and you want to see free flowing exciting rugby , neither team can claim they achieved that. England took their chances and Scotland didn't . I do think we should respect the kicker but I don't think it makes a blind bit of difference as they are already in the zone. The litter on the pitch is just blown on as it's all plastic , plastic pints , wine glasses and bottles. Eddie Jones is on the wind up all the time , from not talking in mid week interviews to putting Ellis out with a beer to do the post match interview . He cultivates controversy the whole time and uses it to deflect from his teams performance . By allowing players to talk of hate and war fare mid week is he really surprised the crowd boo the kicker.??? I don't think as rugby supporting Scots we hate any of the other nations teams , supporters or coaches , we do struggle with the BBC bias. Enjoy the rugby and the beer . 🍻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
