Is it loopy Liam thats known as Sanjay? why?
Apparently it was because he looked like the Eastenders character - Sanjay. It's tenuous at best.
On a related note I was watching a replay of Wales v England 2005, with Shanklin and Flats commentating. Shanklin ran through the Wales team nicknames. Nearly everyone had something other than the typical English job of adding an er, o, or y to the end of their surname. Wilko, Johno, Backyard, etc.
A selection of the Welsh, Melon, Billy Bonfire, Jughead, Nugget, The Count, and the best was Fish Lips - Dafydd Jones.
I really feel for Scotland, they’ve be given the shitty end of the stick in all this. There is talk now however, of the French government pulling France from the Tournament.
Do Italy have a chance today? About 1 in 5 I think, so not too ridiculous to hope for. I’d love to see them win a game sometime soon. So, c’mon Italy.
For me however Wales v England in the 6 Nations is the most exciting game of all. However strong or weak the Wales team is I never see us as favourites, nor truly without hope. So many great games. This has put me even more in the mood:

Close call on that game 😂😳. Wales v England could go either way as far as I can tell at the moment, I’ve no idea. Still think England are favourites though.
I hope George North has a good 100th with a try or three.
So tense
Jeez, England playing 16 men from the outset.
Wow!
Not sure about that try tbh
Fortunately, the ref is.
He back heeled that on purpose 🤪🤪🤪🤪
Oh my God!!!!
What the actual ****. England are being robbed by the ref here. Even Zammit looks surprised.
Faz is going to explode!!
Bizarre award there. Couldn't be more obvious.
Oh dear. Good job that there's no crowd
Where's the crowd noise coming from?
Speakers?
You disagree that was a try? Looked like one to me. Plus, the officials all thought so too.
That's why they teach you in school to play to the whistle!
How is that a try? I’m not up on the minutiae of the laws but he never had control of the ball and lost it forwards?
Luck is better than a red card!
England are going to produce something amazing now or else go to pieces (maybe).
It went backwards off his leg. Surely that's the rule?
Someone get Nigel Owens on Twitter.
So is that a bad decision or do the commentators not know the rules?
It went backwards off his leg. Surely that’s the rule?
Eventually it did. Before that it was knocked on by the Welsh player.
Wales are just trolling with these trys.
I love it 🙂
So you can swat a poor pass forward off your leg and it’s not a knock-on?
THAT is an honest try Mr Referee
First try of the game 😉
I'd love that to get called back for a knock-on just to see Farrell implode. 🙂
<gallic accent>
We, is there any possible reason you can give me to not award that try? What's that, date is divisible by nine, and it's a Saturday? Zat'll do....no try!
RZ knocked it forward with one hand then back with the second and back off his leg. Its not a knock on until it hits the ground and the final direction of the ball off RZ is backwards. Otherwise if you juggled the ball it would be a knock on
I do agree tho 9 times out of ten it would be given as a knock on. I am away to read the rule book but thats my understanding>
Farrell should have been carded for his backchat. Certainly came close
Maybe this will.be the start of getting water carriers off the pitch. It's bloody ridiculoua.how much they slow the game.
Also has there even been an attempt to clear out a ruck. So the game is now just league with a ruck as a restart and defending team ignoring it.
England are playing so much better today, they look so much more dangerous with the ball.
Biggar has had a couple of poor games, but he’s brought his A game today.
Lots of drama still to come methinks.
Lots of drama still to come methinks.
Especially with Biggar on the pitch. His amateur dramatics are funny. 🙂
Just catching up on the first try.
'First I speak'
Farrell shuts up
Ref speaks and then ****s off without letting Farrell speak. Referees in rugby get a lot of respect but they should also show it too....if that's 'backchat' they'll get a lot more if they don't give a captain chance to query.
Do referees have to go to meetings where biscuit choice is crucial?
Guscott just accuse ref of cheating?
Lots of drama still to come methinks.
Agree with that, at least as far as the rugby goes, possibly more.
At least the English supporters now understand us Scots feelings about French refs. Boys having a mare! Still got the red card joker to be played by Pivic.
Woo hoo!!
Hardy having a good game. Liam Williams too.
I think the ref cocked up but once Biggar kicked the ball I don't believe there was mechanism to stop play and certainly not to disallow the try even if he wanted to.
Well this is exciting!!
Sadly, England just look a bit better...apart from opportunist tries, Wales haven't done much
**** me they've got one right.....
British and Irish Lion Cory Hill to you!!
England deserve to lose for 3 shit-house obvious penalties, and switching off for another try.
At what point do you start leaving very talented players out because it's not their talent or lack of that's deciding games but the inability to follow the rules.
Never in doubt 😂😂😂
‘twas discipline that did for England
