Six Nations 2022

[flypanam]

There’s a lot of talk about 3 away wins being likely this weekend. I really can’t see it. Away wins are very rare outside of Rome.

Agreed. Italy will beat Scotland.

Navidi made his comeback appearance for Cardiff last week following a shoulder injury.

Which channel is showing which games? My VPN is happy for me to watch BBC but gives me trouble trying to watch ITV.

 

[Elpenor]

Wales game is on BBC, the Saturday matches two are on ITV

Waiting for kick off. Wondering which Wales will turn up.

About 10000 less fans than usual I think

About 10000 less fans than usual I think

I think it’s filling up…

 

[Ax^]

Fair play A380

 

[Infidel Castro]

Here's hoping for the one guaranteed mad good performance per 6N and an unlikely win. Come on Wales.

I'm sipping a Languedoc here. A bit of respect for France.

 

[flypanam]

I fancy Wales for this, things have slowly clicked, I think Wales have enough to pressure the French. And the pressure is on France winning the grand slam is tough, every win piles on the pressure.

 

[Ax^]

it at Cardiff so plus for Wales and as they always say about the french it depends which team gets off the bus


Come on the Welsh Boyos

 

[Elpenor]

I’ve backed France by 11 (edit - wrote Wales in error!)

Two best anthems this game

Quite like a Languedoc mysel

 

[Ax^]

got to admit that was some friggin try


Williams look very rubbery

 

[Ax^]

this is some fantastic play

 

[flypanam]

Great game. Wales playing well. France struggling.

 

[two sheds]

France look dangerous every time they run with it

 

[A380]

The Welsh have turned up. I’ve stopped shouting vive La Blues. Mr A319 is happy.

 

[Infidel Castro]

France looked a bit ruffled there. Martin Johnson right in saying France were more grateful for HT.

 

[gawkrodger]

cracking first half. faletau best player on the pitch

 

[Ax^]

Got to love the welsh they investigate how to disrupt that a team that is playing at their best

you glorious welsh bastards


not sure how much you paid for your tickets A380 but well worth it

 

[Elpenor]

Wales have managed to stop France playing their more expansive game. This feels like one of those Wales games where they arm-wrestle it to a low scoring tight game AKA Gatland Redux

 

[flypanam]

If I was wales I’d be running at Wilhlmsa? The French tight head lock. Looks shattered.

 

[Ax^]

was that not playing someone off the ball

 

[Ax^]

Lovely little game mind

 

[Elpenor]

Enjoyed that.

Bad news for England, that was France’s shit game of the tournament

 

[gawkrodger]

great game

 

[two sheds]

That dropped pass

 

[A380]

Amazing game!

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Why are they advertising the French president?

 

[littlebabyjesus]

That dropped pass

That was the game, wasn't it?

I can't fault Wales for that performance. Total commitment, mostly smart, and no little skill. Just needed one moment of magic that didn't come.

Well defended by France, though. A gritty 'away' performance.
