Wilko bossed the last 20 minutes when he came on, we need him to start against Fra and Ire…Out of interest how many points does he need to regain the all time points record?

Wales is just a big ‘park & ride’ for ENGLAND.

Can you clarify how this works. I live in a big city, see, and there are a few Park & Rides here. This is how they work…you’re ON THE WAY into the big city, see? Then, maybe you see a P&R just outside, so you stop, park and then get the bus into town instead of dirving and paying ridiculous parking charges.

So how does this analogy work for you? From where are people coming to Park in Wales, and then Ride the bus to England? Ireland? While Pembroke and Fishguard are busy enough, there isn’t that much traffic tbh. So, it’s not the Irish using it. Is it the Scots? Nah, they’d already have to go through England to get to the Park & Ride that is Wales. So is it the English themselves using it? Well, no, that would be crazy. Why, they’re already in England.

So come on then mr deluded, explain your statement to us – how is Wales a big Park & Ride for England?

Or is your statement utter bollocks?

What’s the lesson here deluded? I’ll tell ya. Next time you want to insult a nation, try and be clever about it (if that’s within your abilities…which I very much doubt).

HTH.

It was really unusual to see a set of Welsh backs that couldn’t run angles when needed, or straighten up either. Shane Williams didn’t look that sharp tbh, Tindall caught him several times as he tried to take the outside line.
I was suprised to see an England back division get quicker ball than their counterparts as well. Overall England looked better in the back row, in the backs entirely & whilst the tight 5 didn’t pull up any trees they stood firm enough to create an attacking platform.
Powell wasn’t up to much was he? His taking off was a blatant replacement strategy, bit cynical but Jones was much better.

The English defence was all lined up for the wider game. Some good old fashioned pick and drive at close quarters was need to draw them in before the Welsh tried to spin it out.

Game was pretty good for a neutral though I do wish Ashton would stop being such a footballer with his showy dive. I will join the thousands who die laughing if he does drop it.

As Jonno says “celebrate AFTER you put the bloody ball down!”

Right, those pesky phlegm-spitters are out of the way so who do i cheer for thoday?

Italy & France of course!

A side swipe at the Welsh speakers of course!

Only jealous as, a typical Englishman i struggle to grasp the concept of multi-linguism… 😳

Oh give over, i’ve no doubt you’ve said something equally silly towards English fans when bantering about the sport. The best times i’ve had at a game were with NG Dragons fans & the piss-taking was legendary from all sides.

I can confidently say no for this as an opening salvo. I am comfortable with my team win or lose and comfortable with myself in that I don’t have to try and belittle others but I will defend our position.
I come from a background of rowing where the winners are always first to cheer the second placers.
Win with a bit of decorum.

I hear that some people actually kill the animal for eating! 🙄 How absurd…

A bit too much to expect from an England fan. Too busy turning their collars up, fluffing up their gilet puffas and singing the only song they know.

Or is that a stereotype…

Bad form though muddy. You need to win with magnanimity. I know winning is a newish feeling for you, but come on…

There you go then. Being called an “effin’ english barperson” whilst being handed a pint was what i called an affectionate pee take. If the same bloke had said it whilst snarling it would have been different of course.
If you’re offended i apologise, but i’ve been called a lot worse at games by Welshmen & laughed & drunk with them.

Its a game. A gamer that inflames national pride in Wales far more than it does for the English i suspect. As for winning being new to me, i rember the days when Wales were supreme, followed by a good period of English dominance, followed once more by a Welsh resurgence so i know it’s all cyclical.
Just as Ireland are currently a fading force compared to what they were 2/3 yrs ago.

Why is it that the ‘celts’ are allowed to support any team playing England yet i get frowns when i say i’ll never cheer for Wales or Scotland. (Will for Ireland cos they aren’t British).

Quite the opposite actually. So you think it’s OK to say something derogatory and dress it up as good natured banter?

Think the band have been at the vino already!

Getting on a bit though aren’t they? Italy are looking not half bad at the mo’, don’t know how long they can keep it up though.

Looking a bit flakey right now, silly mistakes. If it were any other team in the 6N you’d be 10 points down by now.

Ireland much better now.

We’ll be ten points up soon enough.

Italy really have come a long way in a few yrs haven’t they?

I like that quote! 😆

Intrigued as to what moniker Muddy Dwarf will come up with to describe the Irish or the Italians.
