The 6 Nations 2019 Thread

My apologies. Didn’t realise I’d asked the question before!

You hadn't. I was referring to your bizarre, plain wrong and oft-repeated denigration of Warburton. Let it lie, mun.

 

[Mr Retro]

If they hypothetically need to score 4 or more tries to win the tournament why the fuck are Ireland insisting on an open roof during storm conditions on Saturday?

Smacks to me of negativity and will undoubtedly lead to a less entertaining 80 minutes.

*Much* more important to Ireland than winning the tournament is winning this match. If we can take away 4 wins from this tournament playing so badly, stopping a very good welsh team from winning the grand slam, the squad can take a lot of positives into the World Cup.

Agree that It will be a more attritional game now but it should be a cracker for intensity in a brilliant stadium.

And to have won 4 matches using 36 players. A great build up for the WC.

Thanks fella, though I don't know if 'enjoy' is going to come into it, at least until 80 mins is up and we have it in the bag. Whoever wins will do so by less than a score. It's going to be tight and brutal.

Course it does, good win equals good times, a loss and a good rant, what's not to enjoy?

 

[bendeus]

Forecast has improved at least. Not expecting the heavy rain until 4ish and the wind should be less of a factor in a 3-tier stadium with the pitch well below ground level. Could even see a game of rugby breaking out.

 

[Mr Retro]

First goosebump moment of the day: anti-racism march through Cardiff being clapped past by the supporters

This Italy France game is brilliant and appalling at the same time. It’s great.

Always good to see the 2nds enjoying themselves

 

[Sasaferrato]

It's been a not bad game.

The score shouldn't be this though, the mighty French are going through a dry spell.

 

[fucthest8]

Italy suffering white line fever means they're throwing this away

 

[Supine]

Italy should concentrate on getting the try finished before celebrating

 

[gawkrodger]

jesus christ the Italians are dling everything they possibly can to not win this

 

[gawkrodger]

I cannot remember a top level international where one team has sabotaged themselves to such an extent

 

[fucthest8]

Stupid Italy

England vs Wales world cup. Points to draw? (And go through to the nextnround) No, kick for touch.

Admittedly maybe not as comprehensive, but still

[gawkrodger]

Bollocks.

[Supine]

[FiFi]

Great start for Wales

 

[Ax^]

Bollocks.

Come on Ireland!

[A380]

A lot of us have mixed loyalties in the 6Nations. You just have to go with your heart

 

[Micro]
