six nations is starting up soon

eng vs wales


....and im working at the stadium that night :haha: :beer:

Disapointed by Ashton's team selection tbh!

Backs
Balshaw (why!), Sackey, Tindall, Flood, Strettle, Wilkinson, Gomarsall

Forwards
Sheridan, Regan, Vickery ©, Shaw, Borthwick, Haskell, Moody, Narraway

Replacement
Stevens, Mears, Kay, Rees, Wigglesworth, Cipriani, Vainikolo

No Tait in the 22 is a shocking decision and Croft should be on the bench ahead of Rees!!

Ireland lead Italy 16-11. Not long to go.

Waled leading 19-26. :doh:

feck sake how did we lose that? (england that is)

shocking

:(

no grand slam then

hopefully england uses it as an opportunity to blood the next generation if not to to win

England lost?

From what i saw in the first half before i got bored was England dominating

Kinda my fault. I turned over and we were 10 points up.
Soon as I did so Wales started scoring for fun <_<

feck me
ppl do drink a lot of beer at rugby :beer:

Just browsed the Gloucester Leicester report from yesterday:

You can make an entire team of players who should be playing for England today instead.

Simpson-Daniel, Ollie Smith, Varndell, Titterell, Crane, Erinle.

AND Tom Croft. How the hell does he not make at least the bench?

I still think this is a bit of a mickey mouse sport :D , I don't like the fact there's only a finite number of countries that play the game.

I can just about watch the World Cup but apart from that....it's not for me.

It's spreading though. Just about everyone in Europe has a ranking. If 7s gets in the Olympics.

I actually prefer it to football. Give me an England Rugby Union or Rugby League game over football any day.

The problem rugby has is that the club game is watched & popular but not supported. I've loved rugby for 20 years but never came close to following a particular side. It's only Arsenal the supporting side of football that puts it alongside rugby for me.

Nothing stirs passion more than a big hit on an opposite player, even if you're 50-0 down it still counts for something. A good tackle in football when you're 5-0 down doesn't count for shit.

There were 7 or 8 countries that realistically had a serious chance of winning the RWC. It's only ever that and has only ever been that in football.

why is it that england are determind to feck up every lead they get?

Did they win?

Yes. 23-19.

Brian Moore's quality when we're crap. Worth seeing us struggle just for him.

No idea what is up, can't fault the back 3 or OC. It's 1-12 that's completely wrong. Nobody can break the gain-line after half-time.

You could get a better team of the injured than what are playing, but still ...

Stevens, Borthwick, Shaw, Haskell at least are fantastic players, Easter makes great yards for Quins, Mears is in top form. I don't know what the gameplan is but they look shadows of themselves.

It can't be the players.

C'mon England :scarf: :angel: :beer:

Doing well so far.........:fingersandtoescrossed: :penguin:

I feel a defeat snatched from the jaws of victory coming on...

Hmmm........not so sure today! Lots of positions on the line in this game. I think that the french always differently against us...we seem to have some hold over them. Lets hope we can hold our nerve and keep kicking

10-13 to England

1-1 in tries

10 - 16 now ;)

Make that 19 :scarf:

Do we have a chsnce of winning the 6 nations then?

Who we got next?

Well if we keep winning and other results go our way, then yes :)

But its not over here yet.......lead cut to 6 and its the last 6 mins of the game too!!!!

Hold onto your ass.........this could be bumpy!! :penguin:

YEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS :scarf: :scarf: :scarf: :scarf:

We deserved nothing more than that.......GET IN :spinnana: :spinnana: :spinnana:

England go in to the lead

1-2

:dance:

:huh: we just beat them !

Yes we won :dance:

Whos next?

Wales?

Nope (don't mention the welsh!!! :banghead: )


It's the Jocks next....there all tough games from here on in!

There's a bit of Rugby WC deja-vu going on here. After two crap games we start looking quite good in the third game, with massive games still to come.

All to play for.

You said it B&T ;)

Fantastic pack strengh today.....looked like the England were used too :scarf:

Cipriani`s been dropped from the England team because he was pictured coming out of a nightclub :lol:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_union/7281303.stm

Harsh :sulk: He`s a young man for gods sake! He didn`t even drink! If he had a drunken punch up, then you could make a case for dropping him. But just because he was pictured coming out of a nightclub on a night out is harsh.

Wales have ballsed this up big time!

they're in the lead now.

Scotland v England today in the Calcutta cup.

Has the 6 nations finished then?

You know far more than you post, my young padawan.

Don't do this, it makes you look silly, when you're not.

Now who's being silly?

that actually made me laugh out loud.

The Welsh are so damn good.

England *sigh*
