Rugby Bores - Six Nations Thread - Avoid If Not Keen On Egg-chasing

Said 15 England players. Thank fuck for Covid otherwise I’d have been at Twickenham watching that shower.

 

Indeed... I am actually shocked to see that today, in France, most people celebrate the defeat of England instead of the win over Italy.

When France was a pretty unsuccessful team (say last decade...), what was nice was that most French rugby fans still supported Les Bleus.

English players and their coach must be devastated tonight. Will English people and press support them through times of hardship or will they kick them when they are down?

 

could be worse, you could of been out matched at Rugby in yer home ground for the full 80mins. oh, hang on...

 

Great performance today. Good to see us playing to our strengths. Took me back to the days of Rutherford, Renwick and Irvine.

 

For the first time in 38 years.

 

that's not how you say, 3 out of the last 4.

 

Clearly the bonus paid out for each player that puts on an England shirt just wasn't enough to fire them up yesterday.

 

England played to a plan, the wrong one, the forwards did not contest rucks but stood off - result no turnover ball whatsoever Itoje /Currie were not allowed to do what they are good at. Forwards did not contest the Scottish line out - result clean ball to Fin Russell. England have some good backs wings who never saw the ball because it never got past the scrum half or stand off but was kicked into Scots possession. The practice of passing to a player who is standing still is schoolboy rugby

 

I agree with all that. I was willing Itoje and Currie to get in at the breakdown it was very frustrating to watch.

 

This aged well

 

The greenteam with one man down taking charge of the match.

 

Early days yet.

 

They've got 40 miuntes to address the balance.

 

Your point?

 

Just when you thought a weekend couldn't get any worse - Wales win

 

Well they got the win with two good tries in the end,so well done that red team,but nail biting with that loose kick.

 

Those two teams decimated each other... The physicians are going to have to work hard this coming week.

 

Well if Burns hadn't totally made a mess of that final kick to touch into the 5metre line, I would have put money on the Irish going over, to at least level the score.
Yes Wales won, but they didn't merit it, especially when they had a one man advantage for 2/3rds of the game, due to Ireland losing that stupid idiot O' Mahony leaving his brain on the bench....Doh!
