If you want to see the difference between professional (RL) and amateur (RU) in those days all of the 1996 Middlesex 7's games are available on YouTube. Swing Low soon got silenced. :lolol: EDIT Apologies it was Wasps not Saracens they stuffed in the final, watching future England captain...

You should have watched Rugby League as I did in the 1980's & 1990's when I was oop north. Forearm smashes and clothesline tackles every game. Watched Widnes (my local side) when they signed Jonathan Davies from Union. He gave up carrying the ball pretty quickly and started to kick to touch...

Seconded, makes the 6 Nations far more interesting! Don't think I have got to the dizzy heights of 5th before, all downhill from here no doubt :lolol:

Ooh two points out for my final prediction. Ireland deserved winners of the 6 Nations, England have a lot of catching up to do.

Idiotic Red Card for England going into half time, will probably help my prediction though!

France by 13 then, pity about that last conversion or I would be 2 out of 2!

Prediction 2 not quite on the money! Wales getting torn a new one 34-7

Prediction 1 on the money, Italy still make too many handling errors although they are great to watch. Final Score 26-14

Italy making too many errors, they should know how to scrummage by now! Sweaties only 6 ahead (i.e. on course for my prediction). Will be interesting to see if it all opens up in the 2nd half...

This thread need a bounce as a huge weekend of sport starts with the Sweaties hosting Italy, not going back on my prediction but hope Italy finally come out of the blocks instead of consistently winning the second half... :lolol:

Scotland by 12 - Unlucky Italy have played much better than the Table suggests., Sweaties also much improved France by 15 - French the best Northern Hemisphere team when they turn it on. Ireland by 15 - No chance for England - would be pushed to beat Georgia...

Best game of the weekend, Sweaties barely recognisable from the shit show they were a few years back. 7-8

Well I knew we would loose but by 43 points?

Bloody Hell Italy, why do you only turn up in the 2nd Half?

And finally... Italy vs. Wales - Italy by 6 England vs. France - France by 10 Scotland vs. Ireland - Scotland by 3 Yes I have changed my mind!

Keeping my powder dry at present regarding margins but I think Italy, France and Ireland will be winners over the weekend. Wales and England are shithouse / poor respectively and the plucky Jocks will lose in Dublin.

Blimey that is quick service BB! Well done. TV companies (presumably) overstretching the Competition. No score predictions as yet but: Italy vs Wales - if Wales don't improve they will get turned over in Rome. England vs France - Les Frogs must be favourites Scotland vs. Ireland - Tie of the...

France by 11 then, could have helped me out by missing that last conversion. :lolol: Oh well only 5 points out...

Man of the Moment Russell helping me out! 25-21. Another great game from the Sweaties.

Scots might care to look at the rules of the game and stop passing the ball forward.
