  1. 36 man England team named by Steve Bothwick. Mixture of high profile omissions, 5 uncapped players and notable recalled players.
    In other rugby news, Eddie Jones is named as Australia's new head coach :joy: Andy

  10. I hope so. :)
     
  11. The 6 Nations tournament... Isn’t that a fantastic moment in the winter? Can’t wait to see what rugby Italy will offer this time. They are pretty pumped up!

    Also, these are the last big NH encounters before the World Cup. Stakes couldn’t be any higher.

    I hardly imagine a grand slam for any team this year. Too much competition !

  12. The irony is that he might just win the world cup after all that money we paid him for coaching England, France or Ireland for the win.

  13. Yawn... Sorry guys but its the same handful of teams endlessly playing each other. The only things that change are the competitions title and the name of the coach.

    If they held one series a year it would be OK and worth talking about but more than that meh...
     
  14. Get back to your tiddlywinks game if you don't like,:punch:;)
     
  15. At least bloody football don't have three (almost) identical international competitions every year so thats something to be thankful for.

    Now I wouldn't mind if they held the Olympics every year...
     
  16. Hmmm. A fair bit of truth in here. The game is dominated by a handful of teams. The Autumn Internationals are crap - money spinning exercise. So much so I rarely watch them. I love the six nations as to me it represents all that is good about the game. I’m not overly fussed about the World Cup even. Six nations and Lions tours are brilliant. The rest, including club rugby is a bit meh.
    Oh. And isn’t it time contested scrums were removed. Just restart the bloody game. And don’t get me going about countless video reviews. Utter nonsense.

  18. Scrums and video?
    Waste of time imho. Wrecks the flow of the game.
     
  19. roll on the LIONS TOUR, best ive ever been to.
     
  20. If the game was that good there’d be more than Six Nations playing it…….:p
