chrisjpainter Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 Ah excellent. 'Tis time for this thread. I'm a wee bit sad my favourite match of the series is the second match of the series; I always look forward to Scotland more than ther others these days but never mind! It's just good to have it back. First up I can't see anything other than Italy getting hammered and calls for Georgia to move in instead. England vs Scotland will be more competitive but, as with every England game it seems, I think the bench is key. Scotland's first XV need to put us away in the first hour to have a chance. I can't see that happening, so an England win, but not a big one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 I'm just hoping it's not the same as last year with games not played so no winner, I'll be very surprised though if it goes without a hitch. Good for us sat at home but the lack of fans will still seem strange. I really thought they would postpone it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rim Fire Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 Got to be honest i love my rugby but it all seems a bit low key without the crowds and going down the pub its been the same with the club games this season lost interest lets hope it it all go well and not not have a delay have way through like last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just good to have it back. Me too and this will probably be the last time I will be watching it in Scotland and unfortunately there is no pub. I was adopted by the local rugby club as their second tame Englishman and spend lots of time and money in their company, the club has also come on well over the past 30 years and over the past five years a major event and income earner has been the sevens rugby tournament and beer festival and they did host a pre-season match between Glasgow warriors and Quin's. I also had a season pass for a good while and watched England win there twice and enjoyed these more than any other games I have seen via a TV. I seem to have wandered, anyhoo, I am looking forward to a good win and would like to see a bonus point too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely I was a target to drink under the table or to mock when England lost, but I mocked them more, however it was all in good humour. 2003 was the high tide mark though 🏆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powler Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 Looking forward to the games but like said shame about the lack of fans in the grounds, France should be exciting if they bring the same form as last year I think England should do the job today.

I agree it's not ideal, but I for one am glad they're out there giving me some international rugby to watch. The women I've seen are perfectly competent in what they say; it's just a different person and a nice change from the usual talking heads of England world cup winners and ex-coaches. It's a shame the Women's Six Nation's been pushed back a couple of months. I always enjoyed the women thrashing everyone before settling down into the men's stuff.

We managed to watch the whole of the England game, got very drunk to celebrate the win and then strike me, the remote control appeared just in time to turn over and see Scotland lose their match.
