Six Nations 2021

[Elpenor]

England v Wales later, my heart says a close England win, but the head is telling me Wales's most experienced ever team may end up either blowing England away or imploding!

I'm oddly optimistic about the outcome of this match, which must mean we're dooooomed!

(although Farrell and Genge seeing red is going to make it tougher for you guys, obviously)

 

[Elpenor]

I fear your back 3. I don't know what to make of Davies / North in the centres.

Haha. Me neither.

I saw North was playing well again, at least in his last match. Love watching him when he's on form.

Give the boy some space and his power and footwork can do a lot of damage. Problem over recent years is that he either hasn't seen the ball or has received it static and with defenders in his face.

COME ON CYMRU!

 

[fucthest8]

Bit early there editor, couple of hours yet!

Come on Italy. I really, really want them to win this.

 

[fucthest8]

Hang on, does Paul O'Connell's team shirt actually have POC on the arm? Brilliant

 

[fucthest8]

Oh dear

What the fuck Italy. Stupid penalties all over.

 

[fucthest8]

Italy badly need to sort their support play out and stop getting isolated, ref is pinging them even when Ireland are jackalling illegally*. Defence has been less than stellar as well, not sure they've got the ability to fix that though.
Disappointing really, I at least hoped this would be tighter.

*which is about 50% of the time

 

[fucthest8]

Well, this is an awful advert for Rugby.

 

[Elpenor]

It’s an accurate one for French officiating

 

[quiet guy]

It wasn't a great rugby game and unfortunately it was always going to be a one sided affair the longer it went on.

No idea what happened there. It wasn't that good a comment it needed repeating three times...

 

[dessiato]

Scotland has Flower of Scotland, Wales and Ireland their national anthems. Why does England not have an English anthem? God Save the Queen is the UK anthem, isn't it?

Gwlad!

Because they see themselves as the whole island
GSTQ is a terrible terrible insulting archaic dirge

Don’t get me started. We don’t have our own and the shared one is a dirge.
Doubly bad as Ms 747 and Master A318 both Wales supporters..

They only stick with it because too many words or key changes would confuse their supporters

 

[quiet guy]

Itoje's a real handful

 

[quiet guy]

Great kick, catch and try.

 

[A380]

Can’t switch off like that. Eddie won’t be happy

 

[dessiato]

Maybe England could have an anthem with no words. Learning it would be easy.

 

[Ax^]

how long left on eddie's contract

 

[Elpenor]

It’s an accurate one for French officiating

A decision by the French TMO and ref there that even the Welsh players it benefitted didn’t agree with just now.

 

[quiet guy]

Get in there.

 

[editor]

Come on Wales! What a kick!

 

[bendeus]

Sorry, but
