Should be……just thinking this morning that I'll watch that and give the Super rugby a miss……

Too many new rules, too many games, not a fair reflection on anything anymore.

Italy was robbed yesterday. That penalty for not releasing in a tackle was ridiculous.

Think that the French had a proper scare yesterday

Disappointing from Scotland last night. It was a tight game but it seemed like England wanted it more and defended well and bravely. And for Scotland, although a decent performance in defence, going forward when they weren't knocking on, they just seemed to run out of ideas and never looked like breaking the line.

I'm not too downhearted just now because there is promise and real quality throughout the side that we haven't seen in many years. We're certainly not the whipping boys of previous years either and I think any team in the competition will have to really perform well to beat us.

So time to step up boys, Wales in Cardiff coming up at the weekend and I hope they find the belief that was missing yesterday, because imho, that is all that is really missing just now.

The Welsh/Irish game turned out to be a cracker. Ended in a draw, 16 all.

CJ Stander man of the match.

 

[dunkyd]

I saw 16 all ??

Err, yeah. That.

Nice reffing too. Not blowing for every tiny incident that has no bearing on the game ..:thumbup:

Who's the commentator with the gravely voice in the France vs Ireland game? He's a bit of a twat.

If it's the same feed I've got, it's Brian Moore, the ex England hooker.

 

[Spizz]

Oh, and he's a complete twat

Patience young Moos.

Patience?

Have you ever tried to watch Scotland whilst sober ?

It's gut wrenching........ Blaming everyone from the ref to that Welshman who is commentating and loving his own voice...

:erm:

Stay calm brother Moos. Que sera, sera.
