**** me sideways. Will you two knock it off. I know it’s STW and arguing is The Law, but it’s getting tiresome now.
Fair enough.
So who is your greatest 6 nations player that you wish you had on your team. (ie not allowed to nominate someone from your own side).
Mine are a toss up between Shane Williams and POC.
POC blew me away when Ireland beat England at Croke park in 2011 (I think or may have been 2009) . It was a symbolic game for Ireland because of the association with Croke park and Bloody Sunday, I think Landsdowne road was being rebuilt or something.
Anyway I remember he was like a man possessed rampaging all over the field and most importantly at the break down he was like a brick wall, picking up England players by the scruff of the neck and heaving them out of the way.
Shane Williams - who wouldn't want a sniper like that, always in the right place at the right time, always accurate, and would skin your man inside out. I hated it when we played against him. I am not sure Wales have had a winger as eye catching as him since.

Yeah thats true, all of your reactions to my other posts have been just a calm reflection of the things stated.. Ha ha.
I see...so you flinging homophobic slurs are calm and reflective? Like I said, you keep contradicting yourself. Last page you couldn't even make a point to AA without trying to have a pop "your boyfriend duckman."

I might be getting my dates mixed up as the first one at croke park was 2007, and they went on to beat us in 2009 at croke park, 2010 at Twickenham and 2011 at the Aviva...
Its bad enough dealing with AA and his welish delusions
So who is your greatest 6 nations player that you wish you had on your team. (
Darcey Graham obviously 🤪🤪🤪🤪
Ha ha, the greatest try scorer in 2020 6N?
Anyway pisstaking apart AA, I bet you have a proper answer? The obvious choice for you is Farrell.

That was when either Keith Wood or John Hayes were streaming with tears during the anthem, you didn’t have to be Irish to be emotional that day.

Yeah it was a big day and they went on to utterly dismantle us.
And you Kryters? Who do you wish we had playing for us?
I bet you have a proper answer?
Itoje
Jason Robinson or alfie barbeary
The obvious choice for you is Farrell.
Why on Earth would the Welsh want a poor inflexible 10?
Itoje is probably the best player in the 6N but out of his best form and was outplayed by both ickle Jonny and cummings in the calcutta cup
for Scotland I would have a tough guy enforcer type - so POC maybe or Martin Johnson
Why on Earth would the Welsh want a poor inflexible 10?
That was a joke...
alfie barbeary
Not heard of him, hooker, flanker, no 8!!
Dupont.
Or Serin if we can't have 1st choice.
And Fickou.
Dupont
Good shout, as is Fickou he just oozes class
As does Jalalibert.
alfie barbeary
Not heard of him, hooker, flanker, no 8!!
He’s young and only started playing recently for Wasps, but to my uneducated eye he looks like he will be something special. In a ‘ooh he’s got the ball, what will he do now’ sort of way.
Of the 10’s at the moment I’d chose Paolo Garbisi, not that he’s necessarily the best, but he’s exciting to watch.
for Scotland I would have a tough guy enforcer type
Remember Eric Champ?
In his playing days I’d go for Guscott, I used to idolise him a bit and modelled my own game on his, albeit turning out less successful of course.
Guscott was amazing, but pre 6nations iirc. Wikipedia has his profession as bricklayer 😂

If we are being strict, I thought Kryton was an England fan, so I must have got that wrong.

Arrogant English 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪😉😉
A-A I nearly suggested Will Carling for you...
5plusn8 - he did play for England unless I’ve missed a joke? He played better for the Lions, I don’t think he was at his best with Captain **** at 12.
Yeah my question was you have to select someone not on your side, you wish you had, i.e. from one of the other nations. And I always assumed you were an England fan.
Easy Tipuric. Freak.
Although would have been interesting to see Parisse in a better team.
If I could I'd bring back Broon fae Troon. He'd ahem have to make several small adjustments to play in the modern game.
Picking someone from outside Scotland probably Peter Stringer.
Is that the series Broom played with a broken shoulder/scapula?
Oh it's as though I had time to write about my annoyance.

Oh sorry I missed that, and your are right. In which case, mine would be John Jeffrey. Hard as nails flanker.
John Jeffry. made of granite thus had his own gravity field which allowed him to be onside even when he wasn't 🙂
onside even when he wasn’t
Its a back row thing, see Richie McCaw..
Don't know @onehundredthidiot but it is the one where he knocked out an opponents glass eye.
On reflection the greatest fighters of the 74 Lions tour were John Taylor and Gerald Davies who ruled themselves out of that tour because of apartheid
http://en.espn.co.uk/scrum/rugby/story/233499.html
Didn't they give him the glass eye a few years ago?
Love it.
John Jeffry
Skinny and ill-looking...Horrendous to play against. He was just a mess of sharp angles,all moving really quickly. Oh;and he never shut up during a game.
Richard Hill( back row, not the angry scrum half) Just the complete back rower.
BoD. Genius rugby IQ in a hookers body.
Yeah BoD was awesome, shame about the lions tour shoulder injury, he was on fire prior to that.
I did my PhD in the agriculture department at Newcastle Uni, a menacing picture of John Jeffrey was on the wall opposite the main office, always gave me the shivers!!

Our seconds inside centre was like that, I use to hate playing with him, because if I had to join him in a backs ruck or maul I stood a good as chance as getting an elbow or knee in the face as the oppo.

I've posted this before; I met him on a train platform in the Scottish Borders. I was shitting myself but plucked up the courage to speak to him and although he still looked very menacing in civvies - someone you wouldn't mess with in a pub for sure - he was really nice to speak with.
JJ always looked shattered at the start of a match, he wasn't called the white shark for nothing. Finlay Calder had a knack of turning up just where the opponents didn't want him to be. Derek White maybe less visible but no less of a player than either of those two
Richard Hill( back row, not the angry scrum half) Just the complete back rower.
The Ospreys had demolished Leicester convincingly, and a week or two later went to Welford Road in the Euro Cup, full of confidence about the big win they were about to achieve. Unfortunately Richard Hill had been brought back into the team, a little early as one of his legs wasn't fully working. He singlehandedly ripped the Ospreys apart...
onside even when he wasn’t

Lyn Jones famously calling for the ball off Robert Jones. Lyn was standing between Robert Jones and the 10 at a lineout. Lyn played for Llanelli, Robert for Swansea. Lyn was very amused that he got away with it, when asked later..
