[Gerbil]

England , Wales and I picked up 4 pints of Dark Star Festival Ale from their brewery yesterday for the match.


oh and bacon sarnies at half time...............get in there.

I predict a late penalty or two will give the whites a narrow victory today. Its going to be interesting with some new faces emerging.There is plenty of raw talent in English rugby, it just needs 5 or 6 good ones to come through and develop now.

France...much as I would rather have England or Ireland win it, I reckon it is their turn.

(Caveat: I know diddly squat about rugby and have little or no interest in the game)

I just hope the refs let them play rugby and we dont get the boring kicking contests we have had recently, some proper scrummaging wouldn't come amiss either....

Shame my favourite player Sergio Parisse is out injured. Italy struggle with him, without him they are definite Wooden Spooners.

Also, thankfully, the games are on BBC so we don't have to put uo with this idiot's ramblings:

I enjoyed the 2nd half. Frustrating with all the errors but Wales`s comeback made things pretty interesting there for a while.

All I know is every half-decent pub with a screen in BN1 this afternoon was stuffed full of middle class wankers pretending to enjoy the egg-chasing and bluffing their g/fs into thinking they knew what was occurring.

I enjoyed it. I gave us no chance of winning and we've now f***ed over Wales chances of a Grand Slam. Messy, error strewn but and England win against reasonable opposition for the 1st time in what feels like years. Edge of the seat stuff for a while in the 2nd half.

Did anyone else feel that the ref put himself in the way of play way too often?

Yes he did, theres one thing being on top of the game but some of his positioning was just to close to the play and he basically got in the way............ personally was'nt over fussed on the refs whole game.

I too think Scotland will surprise a few. They took the Saffers close.

Voted for Wales, but I think anyone could win this one.

Whatever happens, it shalll be good fun.

Good call on both of those.

 

[IKDRF]

France with their attractive rugby................

 

[Barrel of Fun]

They were splendid in the first half last night, but the Welsh did make it very easy for them.

They do have weaknesses and we are going to need to be at our best to exploit those in Paris.

Big game for Wilkinson today. He has been very ineffective thus far.

Italy won today! GET IN!!
