Rugby 2023-24 World Cup Year!

Pray for TJ!

Also jiffy making his stupid little noises and cheering the Welsh on is getting me seriously close to turning this off

**** knew it was going to happen.

As soon as the opposition crowd start getting into it Scotland go to pieces. Every. Single. Time.  They don’t **** deserve to win against Norway.

**** shambles.

Well played Scotland, turned out to be quite fun in the end!

What an eejit I am. What a game.

Well, I’ll take it.  But I’m not happy.

Exceptional second half from Wales.  Massive respect.

I started to believe for a moment there. Congratulations Scotland – well deserved. Scotland play very well when on top, but get rattled too easily.

How could we let as bad a side as that back into the game? Often crap being a Scottish supporter!

PS; AA, sorry fella, tough times.

Jiffy; get it right up you, wee mercenary shitehawk waste of skin.

I know Jiffy is one eyed but he seemed even worse than normal today. Great pundit but not when Wales are playing.

1st 1/2 I thought Scotland had to be 20 points up for me not to be anxious. I have now revised that to 30 points for any game against Wales.

Good on Jiffy giving MoM to Wainright,rather than the number 10 of the winning side as with most pundits.

What a bonkers game – enjoyed it as a neutral – would have no nails left if I was a Scottish fan.

PS; AA, sorry fella, tough times.

Indeed, but getting beat by better teams isn’t as bad as losing games we should win.

The Welsh pack that rinsed Scotland second half was what Wainwright, Mann, Reffel, Jenkins, Teddy Williams, Asserati, Dee and Domochowski who played the full 80….that’s a rank bad pack and the played scotland off the park second half….

Yeah, but not as much as we played of the park in the first half, plus; wainwright MOM? 😀

Anyone else think the Turner yellow was rough?

Wales played very well against 14 men. 😉

That said, how many penalties?  Ouch

Wainwright is a very good player, Reffell is decent the others are either kids or not very good.

Ioan Lloyd did well as did Winnett, he in particular looks to have a big future especially if he can add a bit of muscle. Tomos Williams has to start next week as well.

Rowlands will hopefully be back next week as well as Gareth Thomas and North.

Ireland U20s win in France. Cracking game.

RIP Barry John – ‘The King’.

I was very young when he was playing, but he was amazing to watch even at such a young age.

Sad.

RIP Barry John – ‘The King’.

The first rugby player I remember.

Anyone else listen to Rugby Union Daily with Sam Warburton, he always comes across so well, he has a great attitude and is one of the best people to listen to as he is balanced in his comments.

wales team released early (yesterday)

<b>Wales team to face England:</b> Winnett; Dyer, North, Tompkins, Adams; Lloyd, Williams; Thomas, Dee, Assiratti, Jenkins (capt), Beard, Mann, Reffell, Wainwright.

 <i>Replacements:</i> Elias, Domachowski, Griffin, Rowlands, Basham, Hardy, Evans, Grady.

good to see Gats has rewarded the players that made the impact (other than Domachowski) and surprised to see that he’s favouring Hardy over davies for the bench – although gareth davies was pretty poor last week and is too slow to get the ball away

Must pick up the latest episodes. Normally listen to it, was there one in particular?

Garland quoted on been as saying Lloyd had a tight hamstring yesterday but trained today. That’s Garland speak for his legs broken and he’s out for 6 months….Cai Evans to ten 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

Also I look at that Wales team and think it’s so shit I could cry but even worse I cannot really think of any better options 😥

Still it’s only an game

England are fielding the same team that nearly lost to Italy last week, I’m sure you’ll be fine.

I’ve always liked Warburton, as a player, captain and pundit. The same with Barclay. The antithesis of Jiffy.

Say what you like about Jiffy, but let’s not forget, in terms of rugby ability those two are not fit to lace his boots and very few ever have been.

He was a brilliant player, doesn’t make him an average commentator.

Now this should be a cracking game!!

Any predictions for this weekend?
I guess it should be all home wins – Scotland v France could go either way.

I was about to say a whole half of rugby without a Zander pen…and then.

Scotland to win if France cannot win a lineout

Poor last scrum , had great channel 1 ball and wasted it

Christ, have Scotland been training at the Saracens school of how be an annoying bastard! The celebrations are pathetic.

The celebrations are pathetic

I think if you start back slapping the opposition you should be pinged

A rather tedious game I’m afraid

Cracking try that

Classy 👍

Tight!

That’s down!
