I'm sure Scotland will be travelling in expectation rather than hope for the first time in a while.
I don't know about that, surely England are still significant favourites despite the last few matches, maybe I'm pesamistic but after the last few years of 'potential' but I'm living in fear of Scotland fizzling out again.
Who wants to watch a one sided affair at the Library?
Look we might have a team full of thickos but dont rule England out that quickly. 😉
Three home nations in a row cant throw victory away can they?
17 hours Flashy?? You spend longer on aeroplanes than I do!!
I'll be watching both games on t'internet in St Lucia - tough job this week 🙂 I watched the last Lions Test there 4 years ago when we destroyed Australia - 20 of us gathered around an IPad at 7AM with intermittent wifi!!
CX to SIN via HKG.
UVF, eh? Isn't that a Gatwick route?
SIN via HK?
Yep, am coming back through HKG later in the week, and this route works out cheaper on CX than using Dan Air 😉
Also, breakfast in The Pier fLounge at HKG.... 🙂
You must love being on planes - I have has a long haul sabbatical over past 2 years (sniff no gold card!) and have missed BAs attempts to dress up the same meal under different names! Also missed out badly on films!!
Anyway, we digress, back to the English thickos...
Yes, out of LGW. We fly from both on the 777 fleet.
Don't love it, but work means I have to, and it pays the bills! All business class, so not too terrible.
Anyway, anyone else think Italy could do a number on France? Might be worth a punt!
Could -yes.
Will - doubt it.
France much more disciplined than previously.
English thickos...
In the interests of balance and because Orcs has previously been used, I'm assuming its OK to re-introduce the words, Taffs, Frogs & Jocks into this thread. I mean, I just want to make sure no-one's being overly racist and there are level terms with regard to the use nationalist nicknames of the Rugby teams in this thread seeing as AA and THM can't help themselves.
Kryton - I've given up. Now I just use if to justify my smugness if we win.
😯 have you switched your irony filter off, kryton?
He cant help being a thicko!!
Oh, national and personal too. Thanks for the precedent, I just want to understand the rules of engagement.
I thought THM was English, its hard to tell though!!
Well, a sense of humour might help.....
#Obviouslyajoke
For you perhaps? Obvious for everyone else.
Seriously krypton can you not spot irony - does it need to be in CAPITAL LETTERS? Yes and as CFH says a SOH helps!
Did Kryton not have to self moderate after the Wales game? For somebody who is very touchy when anybody mentions pudding, he is fairly wanting to chuck it out. Oh; and THM is one of your own Kryton, so it is a TRIFLE unfair to use him as an example of somebody abusing poor ickle England.
English thickos isn't one of those traditional national insults... is it?
the white orc on steriods thing came from those nasty kiwis didnt it?
a TRIFLE unfair
😆
My prawn sandwich comment from a few pages back wasnt picked up on. Bloody Tarquins.
Tut, tut ducks - not using words out of context to take the proverbial are you 😉 nice choose of capitals though 😀
Thin skinned folk get q upset and best avoided, it's takes them years to get over it!!
Sorry AA - we just ignored you! 😈
Plus I can't eat sandwiches on my low carb diet.
😉
Does the humour improve when there is a weekend off!!
Sorry AA - we just ignored you!
Sob, just like the Lions to the welsh players...becoming an irrelevance

What have you got against the Gogs?
Double post
Bit of an anti-climax for 3000 a_a 😐
This is funny. Funnier because CFH is as English as anyone in this thread!
Are there many English who pretend to be something else?
If you say so.
As I've regularly said - Welsh father, English mother. Was brought up on Welsh Rugby.
So was I but as a supporter of the losing side. 😯 Regulalry beaten up by the great Welsh teams on a consistent basis.
Still fun to be part of an U12 (yes U12 and in those days) English touring side to Wales and stuffing John Bevan's school team 52 - 0 in the 70s. Helped that we also had a Welsh coach!!
Apparently Bevan was as blind as a bat and they whistled to him when passing the ball!

That's because in the West Car Park, Black Velvet and Oysters is more our thing.

In keeping with the previous 2999

I qualify for all home nations, Irish Grandparents, Scottish grandparent, born England, residency rules for Wales 4 years and some.
Brought up on Rugby league and then to Union as a player in my teens.
Personally enjoy going to Murray field more than Twickenham for many reasons but just like Rugby.
@aa I was going to say I'm normally too full of London Pride for Sandwiches of any kind. I'm glad I wasn't at the game I'd have burst a blood vessel shouting at the Italians 🙂
TMH lost my Gold Card back in 2009, change of policy meant all flights under 10hrs where in economy. Stupid really as we never took a red eye thereafter, eg day flight back from NY, nothing ever arriving / leaving on a weekend ... lifetime tier points on the statement are a constant reminder of the past !

Samoan, then? 😉
Like vondally, Scottish grandparents, born in England, lived in Wales. So I support Italy.
Fijian 8)
An Islander then?
Barry Island?
Like most Welsh fans, born and bred in England and only watch when we play the orcs 😉
As I've regularly said - Welsh father, English mother. Was brought up on Welsh Rugby.
Bought up and educated in England? 😉
You're as english as I am. I'd qualify for Ireland, Malta, Germany and England and not on residency either!
It was tongue in cheek, the whole nationalist stuff is nonsense and everyone is free to support whichever rugby team they like. Just ask TJ! (FFS don't bite teej, it's just teasing!)
