Rome seems pretty harsh too. Latins are less disciplined may be? We’ll certainly get some boos this afternoon…
Can't wait for the France/Ireland game myself, like others I've said from the beginning it should be 'the' game of the tournament, so I hope it doesn't disappoint. It's so enjoyable watching great Rugby without any real allegiance to one side or the other. You can enjoy the game from a different perspective and marvel at the genius without bias. Although if pushed I'm sure I'd decide that nobody really wants the French to win anything. :lol: Sorry Guillaume69. Having said that, I've not worked out yet the detail of what a win for either means for the tournament as a whole, possibly because I don't think I thought England would still be in with a theoretical shout at this stage.
Well, I must say I agree with you on everything except the above. The French people amount to 67 million people, give or take. The total population of UK + the Republic of Ireland amounts to, say, 75 millions. Knowing Italians will always root for « French flair » styled rugby (scoring at all cost) vs. « English/Irish boring » (avoid losing at all cost) styled rugby, and that they are 60 millions, I’d venture that there will be more 6N people keen on seeing France win the next game… I’ll let our Scottish brothers speak for themselves, lest I trigger an ancestral blood feud…
Massive game in the first kickoff today. I have France to shade it but it will be close (I hope). Scotland Wales. No comment (but Wales did show significant improvement last game).
Yep, my day is planned out already so I can sit down in front of the telly at 14.15hrs. I just hope the match lives up to expectations. Also looking forward to Wales/Scotland, but have a little trepidation about England/Italy.
2 years. 2 whole fugging years i've been looking for a roofing company to get out here in the sticks to renew my roof. i find one worth having mid January with a start date date mid march. they turn up today, got the scaffolding up and the scaffolding is blocking my sat dish. i cant watch rugby. Q. should i tell em to fug off with their shit and come back later?
@finm Can you please send your scaffolders around to my house quickly so I don’t have to watch any more of this game?
