Six Nations - 2024

[Elpenor]

What a try

 

[flypanam]

Really get a sense for how bad GSTK is when you hear the marsellaise

In world rugby only the Japanese one runs GSTK close that I can think of

the Japanese one is haunting and wordless pretty sweet.

Nice to win the 6N, the trip to SA might just see us battered.

Nice that at last no one is mentioning relegation from the 6N this year.

Blimey. First 35 mins, i thought we were in for a battering.

 

[Elpenor]

Boom! France imploding, or tiring?

 

[Monte]

That Smith is a slippery f*cker.

 

[A380]

Back in time for the last quarter.come on England!

 

[Elpenor]

Game gone too loose. You’d think France see it home now

 

[Spymaster]

Oh dear! Terrible pass.

 

[A380]

Well, that was shit

 

[Monte]

Well, that was shit

It was all going great until you turned up!

 

[Elpenor]

England can’t get in the French half and the clock is their enemy

 

[Elpenor]

Great quick catch pass rugby for that try and first try bonus point

 

[A380]

I never doubted!

 

[Elpenor]

First time England have scored 30+ points too this tournament

 

[Spymaster]

 

[A380]

Bollocks

 

[Elpenor]

Probably a fair result that I’d say. England have a lot to take from the game tho

 

[mx wcfc]

Bloody good game.

England won 4-3 on tries.

 

[Elpenor]

Some good performances by England the last two games - defence and attack starting to click but not necessarily at the same time

England have won 3 more games this six nations than Ireland have won World Cup quarter finals

 

[Monte]

Great game.
Every match this season has been excellent.

 

[fucthest8]

Cracking game! Missed Ireland game but in terms of results, great day's rugby. Lovely.

(And yeah, I was shitting it briefly )

 

[Petcha]

Ugo Monye doesn't appear to know the rules of the game. Clear penalty at the end.

And the championship to be fair.

If England keep improving they could well win next year, they’d have the blue teams at home, Ireland and Wales (last weekend) away.

Is it too early to call for Wales to be relegated to give a team like Romania a chance to play in the 6 Nations?

I'd suggest Spain gets a 6N place. They have a reasonable team and have qualified for the WC twice, although they were disqualified twice.

A more mature performance from Scotland certainly made Ireland work hard for the win. Still need to cut out basic errors, missing your man in a shortened line out being one of them. A deserved Championship for them as still the best team in NH.

Delighted for Italy following up their win against us with a very convincing win v Wales.

Will be a different Ireland next year, with Farrell’s sabbatical and Easterby as head coach. Will have to see some new blood too. If you look at the overall team the auld fellas need to move on. As you said up thread Keenan is essential. Larmour is no international. We need a decent reserve scrum half, fullback, and loose head. Am expecting Porter to be shifted to tight head next year.

Nah, Georgia and Portugal are better teams, admittedly Spain bring more commercially
