Six Nations

[Scaly piscine]

Yea looking like the wooden spoon is between Ireland and France, which would be a bit of a turn up.

 

[Scaly piscine]

And then Italy give away a penalty and get a sin-binning.

 

[Scaly piscine]

And so it's between France and Ireland for the wooden spoon. Crazy.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Why is it every time we play these ****ing ovine bothering nobodies we have to hand them penalty after penalty after penalty.

 

[Scaly piscine]

How the **** did they get away with that line-up? He threw it a yard behind his own side and England still nearly pinched it. Not straight surely.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Scrums won 0, scrums lost 3. Super.

 

[Scaly piscine]

****ing useless. Leave the ****ing wankers in Wales.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Well played Wales, outclassed us. no complaints, just a bit annoyed.

 

[wpdavid]

At least I missed most of this. Seeing one of our no-hopers drop a ball 5 minutes in to lead to Wales' first score pretty much set the tone, but I didn't expect to see 30 points on the board when I switched it back on. Sounds like we've been completely outclassed. And it sounds like Lancaster still has a massive job to sort out the ****e attitude that's still at the heart of English rugger.

Walsh was terribad, but we were worse.

Having a back three with no pace came home to roost big time. & Robshaw? Foxtrot Oscar. Not a test #7's arsehole. Fat tongued Quin charlie.

Kudos to the Leekists; better team won.

 

[social]

Wales are very ordinary so England have a huge amount of work to do

Until we discover that they can't make a tackle when trying to defend a lead in the last five minutes. Lazy tossers will get what they deserve if that's the best they can manage. Village green stuff. A decent team would have put the bloke with the ball in Row Z. All talk and trousers, yet again.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Yep.

Hateful stuff.

Great game, but shouldn't have lost that.

I turned on coz even though I dislike rugby it seemed a close finish, and there was nothing else on. Was quite annoyed about the comms talking about a good performance though,winning is a good performance surrendering a lead in the last few minutes isn't IMHO.

Mind you I know FA about Rugger, so ho-hum.

Worst thing is watching it with wife and kids before something else is on and having to explain that it won't actually be a draw after France scored that try between the posts in the last minute. And obviously it's better that I vent on CW than in front of the children. England always do this, don't they. You know deep down our default level is cod ordinary, but occasionally they perform so you watch them, and then reality kicks in.

btw what's with your latest avatar?

It's the English Sporting disease, as Brumbers has pointed out before, we never can maintain excellence whenever we grasp it, it just seems transient in the extreme.

Steve Jones of the Pistols with Johnny Rotten. I watched yet another Doc about the 'Pistols only real album, and like all of them they had top-line producers saying how brilliant Jones was, and how he somewhat inadvertently created the sound that influenced so many. Particularly ironic as all the discredited talk was that they had to wheel in session musicians to play on the album, Spedding and Batt. Obviously that was all hyped up by Maclaren who wanted it known that the Pistols couldn't play, and he was the architect of everything.

Steve Jones is about my musical hero, and both him and Paul Cook played for years as session musicians themselves after, I think Cook still might be. Jones DJs and says great things on Twitter

Feel like quoting myself. Just how the **** can they be so useless at scrums? It's embarrassing. It was a relief when we had the put in and only gave a free kick away.

Needless to say it was about a clinical performance as a Tim Henman display in a Wimbledon semi-final. Game was on a plate, they found a way to lose.

 

[Burgey]

Lol England

 

[Pothas]

Is it wrong that I care about this match more than an England game?
