6 Nations 2008

[TT Boy]

Cheers.

You can tell Leslie used to play League, fantastic offloads in the tackle.

And France score their first points. I'm not too worried about the French players, it's the crowd who'll make this team tick.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Turn over to watch England and it's the same nilwittedness. 9 points ahead with 10 minutes left against a clueless France and they just give them two utterly friggin stupid penalties to get them within a score.

Morons.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Oh well France were rubbish but always nice to beat 'em in their own back yard.

 

[PY]

Excellent work in the last 5 minutes. Wigglesworth did alright for a debutant.

 

[headhunter]

France played a very arrogant game, I don't think they kicked for touch once. That kinda game may well beat others, but you wont beat England playing like that.

Reckon it will go something like this now:

1.France
2.Ireland
3.England
4.Wales

Ireland will beat Wales and I have a suspicion they'll beat England. England should beat Scotland by not by too much at Murryfield. France likely to rack up a big score against Italy & would be surprised if they dont beat Wales

 

[BoyBrumby]

Not a classic performance by any means, but I was impressed by our defence. Noon's rib-cracker on Heymans was quite beautifully brutal.

Doubt yer frogs will make the mistake of going into a test without a frontline kicker again either.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Yeah, Traille isn't a proper kicker. Get Vainakolo in the centre also.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Yeah, Traille isn't a proper kicker. Get Vainakolo in the centre also.

Be harsh on Noon after yesterday's performance in all fairness. Tait for Balshaw at 15 is the change I'd like to see most. Balshaw's attempt to catch one of Trinh-Duc's garryowens in his own 22 was embarrassing. He must've missed by a good couple of feet.

**** yeah, he is seriously dire. Get anyone in there. Can't wait till Strettle gets back, he is most gun.

 

[Anna]

Needs to get a haircut, though. That quiff he was sporting on Sat was quite something

Anyway. If Balshaw is picked next week, Brian Ashton will have a lot to answer for. With either Tait or Cipriani (I'd prefer Tait) at FB, we'll have so many more attacking options & won't have to worry about high balls anymore!

 

[PY]

Ergh, Cipriani is such a goof. That is all.

Balshaw back in.

 

[sledger]

Ergh, Cipriani is such a goof. That is all.

Balshaw back in.

yeah saw this myself an hour or so ago, what a berk.

 

[1-9-7-7]

Be interesting to see how the Irish n00b full back plays.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Same old England. Ooh look you're absolutely crap attacking-wise, lets gift you a penalty in kicking range every 5-10 minutes so you can actually score points. Genius.


(This is in addition to being hapless when they've had the ball obviously)

 

[PY]

Ergh, think I'm going to vomit. That was abysmal.

 

[headhunter]

We were shocking again today, such a negative attitude towards the game, Wales should of won by far more. Just terrible

 

[BoyBrumby]

Horrible performance by England, Wilko was as bad this week as he was good a fortnight ago. All the more depressing because Scotland played exactly how one expected them to play & we didn't have enough about us to counter it.

Means we have to decide who to support between France & Wales for the title.

I'm gunning for France, I have a passionate loathing for Wales.

 

[PY]

France every single time.

Then we can say we beat the eventual winners like true losers.
