MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
I only have 5!!!
To be fair Powell has been playing well for Wasps, by all accounts.
Only seen him once close up at Gloucester and a) he's a big chap and b) blasted through our hardly small backrow once or twice
A.A. I got a please take,which was nice! Stuart Barnes wrote a good piece in the Tmes talking about how much the Welsh pack needs a strong platform for them to compete.If the Welsh teams recent sicknotes can get into the swing of int rugby quickly it should be some game.I also like the English back row; atheletes at wing forward,who would have thought it?And Mongos distant cousin at no 8.
Off to buy some Brains at lunchtime, get them nicely chilled....
*Nervous*
i am dreading tonight.... (welshman)
england are easily favourites, 'if' wales win it will be down to the wire and lots of luck.
the first lineout and/or scrum is going to decide the game.
the best thing is we have some young uns in the squad, some of the old guard have to go.
leave Powell alone, thick as a gate post but a heart of gold and he can turn cars over 😉
Scamper - MemberTo be fair Powell has been playing well for Wasps, by all accounts.
I have seen a few games and he has been pretty good.
Gutted the welsh Lions props are not playing
Despite all the dismay, Wales winning would be a suprise but not a huge shock they have a chance. Pack performed well against SA who destroyed England. Front rows are a mismatch but back 5 of pack are equalish as a unit. Backs not a lot in it overall. I reckon england should win but have some hope.
In other news Gatland is an idiot but this is pretty poor work too:
England full-back Ben Foden waded into the war of words when he thought the visitors should put their little brothers in their place.
"In a way, we have to think 'we are England, we are the big country, we are going to put these guys in their place'," Foden wrote in his Daily Mail column.
"It feels like we are the older brother and we have to make sure we beat our younger brother. we cannot let our younger brother get the better of us."
The above is nothing new,as jeremy the Gusset proved very ably,everytime he opened his mouth.I am sure it is all mind games,he will have his hands full tonight
Waitrose had sold out of Brains! 🙁
Good or bad omen?
Very good omen,have some beer instead.
Oi! Cheeky little......
😉
As usual Gwladrugby says it best
If you’ve woken up today in a strangely chipper mood despite crying yourself to sleep last night and having horrific dreams about Dylan Hartley, you are not alone. Once again, the nation has been visited in the night by the Optimism Gnome, ...squeezing through your catflap, climbing up your stairs, hoisting himself onto your bed and panting with excitement, whispering the Bill McLaren commentary to Gareth Edwards’ 1972 try against Scotland in your ear, and even laying out your lucky pants for the morning. The Optimism Gnome loves us, and we love him.Some say he’s from a fairy land and passes between worlds via a bus shelter on the A48 outside Cowbridge. Some say that the Brynteg miners dug too deep and released the grateful little chap from a prison of anthracite in 1954. Some say he’s the love child of Father Christmas and Ruth Madoc. Some say the things he does to your cat on the way out can’t be helped. All we know is that the jingling bell on his hat on the eve of every international results in a nation waking up on match-day wanting to strip to its birthday suit, cover itself in woad and run into the street shouting “I’ll take you all on!”
Okay, maybe we haven’t won in ages – so we’re due a win. Fair enough, we’re missing two lions from the front row – but you can’t scrum on the millennium mud anyway. Good point that ‘give it Jamie Roberts’ is the only plan – but hey, some of us remember the 90s when we didn’t even have a plan.
So this is it, boys and girls – Six Nations time again. Time to hoist the flag, set phasers to ‘baritone’, slip on your best drinking trousers and leave nothing on the training paddock! Thank you, Optimism Gnome. You’re the best!

So, England to win by 20 points ?
Or more ?
😆

it should be on the beeb website but I presume you are abroad?
Yup, abroad. Thanks for the link. I've also found [url= http://www.rugbyzone.tk/ ]http://www.rugbyzone.tk/[/url].
WTF is Inverdal waffling about?
I mean, really?
Sensationalist Nationalist guff that the game does not need. FFS, shut up.
Shut up and get on with the game!
England to win by 10 - 15 points I reckon.
"Welsh commentary on the RED button, this doesn't mean its biased" said the engerlish reporter.
FFS! 🙄
If Inverdale wasn't enough we now have to suffer Eddie "I wish I was English" Butler!!
Real passion from AWJ singing there.
Good start from Wales.
hook by name...
All the feeds have been pulled. 😥 😥 😥 😥

Loblocks.
However, one day AShton will drop the ball when he does his showboat dive. That day I shall laugh heartily.
Now, however, a beer calls. 🙁
It was a bad omen 0-7.
Schoolboy defence!!
Ya diamond Stoner. 😆
Veemi and Veetle have been cut for copyright infringements.
And now that's gone. 😥
I think it's Spain that's cutting the line. We've got a very over active group protecting the copyrights. As it's a private organisation they've gone right over the top. They've got to get the money to buy this place.

Thieving baskets. 👿
The points are FLOODing in....
What's spanish for prego?
Now, was hook paying attention on how to do it?
donS Im guessing this will be IP protected, but it may work...

Ah, they get Jones to teach Hook how to kick then 😉
What's spanish for prego?
De nada.
gracias
Stoner - Member
Ah, they get Jones to teach Hook how to kick then
Little Jonny W learnt from Jenks....
We know how to kick. Sometimes. 😉
3 points and a yellow card! There's lovely for you.
🙂
second row intelligence 🙄
England really are very good at slowing a game down and soaking it up.
That kick was needed...it gave me time to get another John Smiths from the fridge
Stoner - Membergracias
De nada. 😆
We appear to be doing better without me watching anyway.
thats poor. second kick into the DB with overlap...
Half time,burps and waves
duckman - Member
Half time burps and waves
Better without the comma.
*Burps and waves back!*
good game crap dive by ashton lets hope Shane gets the chance to show him how its done!!
Good game from ref so far
I think he means hes at the millenium CFH
Good game from ref so far
uhuh.
Ah, so all that burping and waving was for naught?
Oh well.
1/10th of the way to the Grand Slam. Come on England 😆
Sorry,distracted.My Welsh wife has just got home,seen the score and sworn in Welsh for a min without repeating herself.Awesome!Now Drinking Green Goblin zoider,v,nice as well.Game on!
Hook = reserve kicker again then 🙂
Nice stuff from jones.
duckman - so youre actually at home then? Well we can all burp and wave!
Harsh yellow there.
Game's over now.
🙁
Game's over now
7 points in it?
Id hope to see a smidgen more backbone from Wales over the next half hour!
They have often come from behind. I generally feel more comfortable when the opposition score first.
that backbone I mentioned....
What a kick from Toby Flood
Nearly up to the 20 point margin.
that's more like it.
Bah
Game right back on, lovely persistance from Wales there and a cracking kick
Game back on! Pours a Highland Park.That Welsh winger isn't suffering from living off fast food for months.Looks better without the sideboards mind.
Not sure I'm keen on Care coming on, he always looks a bit flaky to me, prone to indecision
That new England kicker looks a bit handy 😉
If he knuckles down and keeps injury free he may have a future in this Rugby lark, oh looks like he can tackle a bit too
both teams gave a pretty good account there.
Nice one England, 20% of a Grand Slam earned. Thank you very much Wales for providing a bloody good game to watch
Battle for third and fourth there. Two poor sides slugging it out. Between Ireland and France for the championship I reckon. Neither side showed anything of which to be scared.
Never give up, never give in...

I shall quote you on that later C! 🙂
I reckon there's some very solid play there which will give IRE and FRA a lot to worry about.
Bugger 🙁
<rubs hands>
Right, Viet-taff sorted, who's up next ?

Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. 😉
Cracking game.Bit pished now,still only a public schools 1xv to ref tomorrow at 9.30am...oh bugger...
🙂
Don't worry, I put the words out there to be eaten at a later date.
good game thought thr welsh yellow was harsh but applaud the refs ideas. Oh well
good game.
flood was very good
his welsh opposite was not, that was the differance
Duckman
Just keep penalising the posh boys - you'll feel better if you do!
flood was very good
his welsh opposite was not, that was the differance
Flood was good but the win was based on a very good pack performance
wonder if S Jones scrambled his brain too much with that hit on Foden early on.
