6 nations 2021 Scrum down in the lockdown

[Yr Alban]

Well done Wales. Good game to watch for the neutral. Ireland deserve plaudits for making a real contest of it despite being a man short for most kg the match.

Well done Wales? You were utter gash, the fact that the Irish fucked that kick at the end potentially saved Wales from an utterly humiliating defeat. No celebrations at the end told you everything you need to know.

Mate... I just live here. Check the name colour and the avatar flag. I changed my username for NPR.

EDIT: if it remains unclear, Google the username I didn’t say either side played well, just that I enjoyed the game and was congratulating the winners.

[Torquemada 1420]

Tipuric saves G Davies' arse.

{EDIT} for now

You thinking of that stupid kick?

Yes

[Torquemada 1420]

This aged well

Yup. He did so incredibly well there you can pen him in for the Lions now?

Back peddle, back peddle, back peddle.

I look forward to next weeks edition of “Torq gets everything wrong”

The only thing backwards is you. Ireland f**ked up and my dead grandmother would have made it to the line from there.

PS Suggest you buy a book called a "dictionary" and learn to use it and then look up "sarcasm".

Oh. BTW mong

Burns on. This should be a laugh.

[Uncle fester]

Well that was shite. Going to watch an NPHET press conference to cheer myself up.

Seriously, no complaints on result. Our own worst enemy. Well done Wales.

[laurent]

Boy this was dull...

[Uncle fester]

No, he’s dirty. He’s been a cheap shot bastard for a long time and it’s no surprise to see him get sent off for a dirty shot.

You mustn't have watched rugby in the 70s & 80s if you think POM is a dirty player.

Come on, that's a rubbish argument. It's a different sport now. We judge him by his peers.

I get that he's not a popular player with opposition supporters but dirty? Seriously?
Bar the double yellow => red with Munster back in October, his disciplinary record is pretty clean. Don't think he's ever been cited for Ireland and has only received two yellows for Ireland.

He's always been a cheap shot merchant.

Good win for Wales, definitely one of those where the result is more important than the performance. AWJ rolled back the years, huge performance.

Billy burns is so far off being international class it's embarrassing.

[Uncle fester]

Can you point to these cheap shots?
Bar the one I mentioned obviously.

I think you're confusing angry faces and shirt tugging with actual cheap shots.

OK. But I’ll probably start at the back and see if I get to “unhinged” first

It was a deliberate elbow to the head,.

No arms late chop hit on Hogg that put him out of the 6 Nations a couple of years back. Raking the face vs Sarries for Munster. Shoulder to the head of a player on the ground v Scarlets. Shot on the Connacht flanker in 019.

[JM2K6]

My memory is fucked so no, I cannot point to stuff from the past. It's been a long time since I could recall the individual cheap shots from a player I see play a handful of games a year, most of which I am not invested in. Sorry!

I did consider it. I thought it was more likely to lead to confusion though. Now wondering whether picking a Welsh language name was a good idea at all!

Why are the neutrals all so angry ??

Did you sit through the game ?

Not defending his action...

[Line6 HXFX]

I mean it wasn't pretty, it wasn't skillfull, it certainly wasn't ambitious, it gives you as much for confidence for the future as a bloodied shart..but it was a win, it worked itself out in the end.. and so on we go..


Thinking ahead..

Gawd I love it when we beat Scotland.
Just entertaining the possibility of Wales beating them (hopefully with some massive controversy) makes me just smile.
It is all because of that deluded mouthy cunt Andy Nicol. I am sure the rest of Scotland is fine.

If you beat Scotland; you'll have Pivac for the next 4 years; mull on that !

No worries. My username is also Welsh (though it’s the Welsh for ‘Scotland’) so I guess it’s not that much of a leap. I did say it was entertaining for the neutral though, and I’d never be so classless as to congratulate my own team on a match fred

if you didn’t understand I meant from the players you are clearly an enormous mong.

[Torquemada 1420]

Wondering what Wales can take from that.

Once POM was off, Ire were always only ever left with trying to keep possession and playing narrow: which they did very well for extended periods until Burns came on.

Playing narrow meant Wales should never have been unduly troubled (moment of genius aside) in defence and they did that job very well. Maybe 2 or 3 games ago they would have failed?
However, that they ended up making by far the most tackles and ceded the majority of possession to a side down to 14 men showed a paucity of tactical nous as well as a lack of cohesive attacking threat.
So Pivac starts out (laudably) trying to emulate the Scarlets and ends up with a horribly leaky defence and this time manages a (assisted by POM) sound defence but sheds any real threat.

Await with interest what the plan against the Sweaties might be other than to rely on a couple of intercepts gratis of Russell.

[ASMO]

If France do not win the grand slam i think it could be seen as a choke, they are light years better than every other team in the 6N

Nice try on the mockers there. The fixture list means the 2 toughest teams (pre tournie) are both away from home. I'll settle for no brainfarts and more of what Cretin said:
"On a su garder la tête froide"
as an indication that this side has thrown the disease of all previous French sides of being unable to play consistently for enough games to win a major tournie.

Did we ever find out what "Furious" Jonny Sexton was so furious about after his knock on the head? Obviously hope he is OK but it was quite funny watching him furiously railing against something that no one else knew anything about.

And when he was having a toddler tantrum after Barnes (who I thought had a stormer) correctly called a knock on , it genuinely looked like Sexton was on the verge of tears He isn't a likeable player.

[laurent]

It's rather well known that he is thoroughly unlikeable...

Now the big Question around these parts is: is he really fit to play next Sunday?

I doubt it but I do believe the IRFU may be willing to ignore that.

On the French Side it's likely to be same 23 this coming Sunday.

Fit or not, it's folly for Ireland to pursue using him when he'll be 37 come the RWC, regardless of how weak they think the other options at 10 are.

Galthie won't mess with the squad bar injury or unlikely return from injury of Vakatawa or N'tamack.

You really are obsessed. I’m convinced Russell pumped your Mrs, or at least she would like him to.

I recall a Scotland 10 giving away three interception tries in one match. It wasn’t Russell though. Although I’m sure he has thrown one at some point, I’m struggling to recall when. He’s considerably more likely to win us the game against Wales (or anyone else, for that matter) than to lose it.

The intercept maestro was Chris Cussiter, your 9 rather than 10, and it was 2 rather than 3 intercepts. He was a good player, but had a nightmare against Italy in 2007 when he gave away two intercept tries in quick succession to help Italy to a 21 - 0 lead after just 8 minutes at Murrayfield (the first try was conceded by the Scottish 10 after just 20 seconds).

Well, I guess I’ve tried to forget the game harder than you. In my head it was Phil Godman who threw the three intercepts. Probably because Cusiter was a good player, and Godman wasn’t.
