6 nations 2021 Scrum down in the lockdown
For all the talk about Scotland, the genuine lowlight of this match must surely be when CJ Stander ended up in space with a runner in space next to him & about a 4-man overlap, only to sort of amble forward in panic and then throw a miss-pass to absolutely no-one. Most props would've done better.
Chin up mate, at least we have the annual cripple fest to look forward to next week ;)

Italy need a few years of player resources luck.
Just a few top class players in the same crop, same year.
A team with Parisse, Troncon, Bergamasco, Dominguez like talent would backbone a competitive side and uplift the rest, the resulting good wins and competitive near losses would capture the next generation, then the ball is rolling.

Everyone is slating the Sco v Ire game but I quite enjoyed it as a classic 6N dog fight between 2 evenly matched sides.

It was a classic in the sense that you couldn't pick a winner both sides were abysmal, Scotland have just got worse as the nations have gone on and Ireland are still doing back moves from 1821.fishfoodie wrote: ↑Mon Mar 15, 2021 5:29 pmseek help !Torquemada 1420 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 15, 2021 4:45 pm Everyone is slating the Sco v Ire game but I quite enjoyed it as a classic 6N dog fight between 2 evenly matched sides.

Same team, only 3 changes on the bench
I don't think anything can Wales from winning the championship but I hope France bounce back and give them the beating that both 14 man sides at full strength would have done as would England without having had a 14 point gift from the Rf to overcome. It will prevent a Poundland GS at least.

I think as before with Scotland, England and Ireland, the hype around France will pop.
What a terrific generation of players Wales has had.
Will it be 5 grand slams and one championship?
Will England come fourth?
Just hope we can put the nastiness and bickering aside and appreciate what a bunch of working class, comprehensive educated kids can achieve, against over priviledged arsewipes..and their parents who pay 20, 30 40 grand a year for their precious darlings to go to snob school
If I was a working class Englishman I would support Wales.

What, you mean apart from a better education, enhanced career prospects, higher standard of living, better life expectancy, less reliance on the state to bail them out? yep i see your point
Whatever happens Sat Wales a looking far more healthy than fucking new dawn Scotland, The Scots remind me of a Glasgow whore high on crack, no future.Openside wrote: ↑Thu Mar 18, 2021 1:05 pm

Oh, wait, it's you...
Twat..
You did actually scrape past England as well without a free 14 point gift head start I suspect the game would have taken a very different shape as the English penalties at the end were borne of desperation chasing the game. The fact that you won by more than 14 is irrelevant.

Just rewatched the highlights of the win in Dublin 2019 and the groan as Slade scores the intercept.
'Get used to being superior', the genuine belief in winning the RWC. All those moments lost in time, like tears in the rain.

So predictions for the weekend?
France
Scotland
and England. Just can't see them completing the anti-triple crown.

I reckon Malins is going to be under a lot of high balls tomorrow, hopefully he deals with them in fine fashion.
Certainly England are likely to revert to kicking the leather off the ball.

You must be watching the wrong game England levelled the score then Wales pulled away, penalties are caused through pressures and that nice try at the end or did that not count, now I know you will be desperate for a French win, you will properly want to see a hammering, whatever happens tmr Wales have a good future ahead, as for the Scots sweet fuck all, and lets just say next in a full stadium Wales will fucking smash the Scots.Openside wrote: ↑Fri Mar 19, 2021 10:38 amYou did actually scrape past England as well without a free 14 point gift head start I suspect the game would have taken a very different shape as the English penalties at the end were borne of desperation chasing the game.

Sorry but I think your English all you need to know is Wales put 40 on you, and Wales at the very least are chasing a tile Tmr unlike England, now just like that Scotish arsehole Im sure you'll be frothing at the mouth for a French win, so don't get to violent and smash the TV if your wish doesn't come true, tell you what I send you some magic beans to help you with your lack of reality.SaintK wrote: ↑Fri Mar 19, 2021 11:10 amNot to Clive ap Twat it isn't!Openside wrote: ↑Fri Mar 19, 2021 10:38 amYou did actually scrape past England as well without a free 14 point gift head start I suspect the game would have taken a very different shape as the English penalties at the end were borne of desperation chasing the game.
