Is that picture from your ‘personal’ collection AA? 😉

I’d look pretty cheesed off if Cuthbert the Donkey had got through me to the try line too....

I’m really looking forward to today’s big match, from a completely Neutral PoV. If Scotland click, I think they’ll win.

I love all the hatred for Brown. I can’t think of a more dependable England FB for 20 years. The fact he winds you lot up makes me like him even more!

I’m really looking forward to the Scotland Ireland game today. I doubt I’ll bother with Italy Wales (I never really watch any games featuring Italy as a neutral).

Of all the games this weekend for me the most predictable is the Ireland Scotland game. I honestly can't see Scotland winning, I don't think last weeks Ireland form is an indicator of the quality of their game. I really hope not, but I expect Scotland to get mullered. Ireland have better players, more strength in depth, are more drilled and a well practised game plan. They will come out roaring.
Wales Italy is the more interesting fixture I think.
Plus I can't see France being a predictable game.

#metoo. He is great and successful player. The fact that everyone hates him is because he is so ****ing good.

Cuthbert was a ****ing outstanding try scorer for a year or two, then lost a yard of pace after injury and his head went, shame.

Yes Brown is a good (not great) player but the reason people dont like him is that he's a weapons grade ****.

This never gets old!

Italy will certainly be thinking they can win!

Looking like I will miss todays games due to mrs anagallis throwing up all night and child taxi service. So if Wales lose and I go quiet its just coincidence. I'm not doing a Mike Brown!

a_a you have a habit of making me very anxious,(as I know fine well that you know far more about rugby than me), but do you think Italy are going to win? Whilst I’d agree they could win, I cannot see them winning like I could potentially see England winning despite being the underdogs last week. Scotland, France and Italy could win today, but I’d have put their chances in that order - what do you think?

I dont think they will but they target certain games and this will certainly be there big chance of a win this season.

Agreed, along with their game against France I guess. I certainly won’t relax today until (hopefully) Wales go 10 points ahead. And should they do so in the first half, I’m hoping (unreasonably) for a Tonga-like score.

I’m more than happy to be corrected, but there is no chance of Italy beating England (unless England have two or more players sent off).

Ps Although they could find a rule England are unfamiliar with I suppose - you may have a point 😂

Too many mistakes by Scotland. Although Hogg was taken out in the build up to the 1st try.

Finn Russell has looked much better to me in these last two games - I can now see why Tj has a crush.

It’s a good game to watch as a neutral!

Every team in the world is going to hit Sexton these days.

Why is the referral allowing the 9s to handle in the ruck? More obvious for Murray.

Scotland seemed to blow it, weak bench doesnt help either.

Price > Laidlaw

Pretty dire stuff from Scotland in the second half!

Don’t think England have much to worry about when they play Scotland then..

A pretty dire second half.

Well that was a big fat disappointment! Ireland weren’t particularly good but did enough to win.

No, but the Scotland v Wales, France v Scotland and Wales v Ireland games, still look like they’ll be tight.
It must be a concern for Scotland that they didn’t score despite all their possession in the second half. Whilst it was Ireland, they were at home.

I think that will be the least worrying game that Wales have after today. Yes, Scotland can potentially win, but they haven’t shown much to worry any of the top three. Blind enthusiasm and home advantage don’t count for much.

I din't think Ireland were that great to be honest. Very surprised. 2nd half was dire after a great first half from both teams.

Very poor 2nd half. I thought Scotland were supposed to be the fittest team in 6N?

No idea, but Greg firmly laid their defeat as being down to him in his post match interview..

Some of the advantages played were outrageous, knock on given against Greig when SOB ripped the ball back is what seemed to file him, Hogg trip should've been a penalty too.

His comms with the players and TMO are awful too, his English is really poor so he often confuses words etc and people are left guessing what he's on about (Obviously his English is way better than my French)

Reynard wasn’t awful, but I felt the 50/50 ones landed Ireland’s way.

The Wal-Ita match is carrying on from the second half earlier . It’s the sort of game you’d expect on a rainy mudbath in Div 2.

It's good we have the master race to set the example of how to suck up bad Reffing decisions to us minor Celtic teams.

Italy playing well actually. For second quarter they're been the better side.

Amazing how much Wales are struggling at half back currently! Webb has to be in the rwc squad!

I was more annoyed by Murray having hands in the ruck. Not the best reffing in the six nations.

Grr - wales underperforming again. And two tries which should of been alowed - off JD2’s knee (not above the knee) so no knock on, and a flat pass from anscombe
