I mean he seems to be carrying an injury :p Anyway, tis Olly Barkley I'll have you know :D It seems like she's missing out on Dan Carter :D
Oh yeah I forgot about him.

She likes Ben Cohen as well.

I must stop her watching rugby!

Looks like it will be a pretty predictable 6 Nations.
Because everyone predicted Italy to push Ireland so close, England to threash Wales and Scotland to beat France, didn't they?!

Not really, he's always been a bit of a unit & skin tight white isn't the most flattering material! :p

I actually thought he did well when he came on, although I guess Wales had pretty much shot their bolt by then too.

Of course he did well,he's Andy Goode! The reason why Johny being injured is bearable.,and has a 100% kick succes rate at international level.

Fair play to yer Sweaties! That's what the 6 Nations is all about! Great performance & I personally was stunned how they outmuscled France. I thought Scotland's best chance of decent amount of ball was their line-out (Scott Murray being one of the best jumpers around), but it was the one area of their play that was pretty ordinary!

& thank God for broadband! My (Scottish) girlfriend is on the phone to her dad as I type! :D
So I take it that means you were actually hoping for a French team to lose then?

Great result by Scotland -- amazing, really -- but their backline showed they had some class against the All Blacks and Sean Lamont is the goods. I'd love for them to run away with this like '99, but I fear England are too good at cheating.

Typical France. I don't know why they get so over-hyped at times. They're just as likely to lose to Fiji or Argentina in the World Cup. I don't think they give enough respect to the weaker teams and that will be their downfall.

Hmm yea, nearly as good as NZ are at stealing the best players from the islands to the north.

It's a fact of life in sport now. The English cricket ain;t go to be very English in a few years time either.

I doubt it....the kolpak players that are signed by clubs are often overrated. It'll be interesting to see how Charl Willoughby fairs at Somerset this season. Apparently he played as the overseas player for Harbourne (area next to Edgbaston) about 4 years ago....never knew that!

The difference being that NZ doesn't really steal players from the islands, but England cheat... A whole lot...

Players? Name one - other than Sitiveni Sivivatu, who I happily accept as a poach.

This is one argument you'll lose.
