Winters coming;all inclusive rugby thread.

If Wales had met that France team I think the championship would be all but over by now.

England have Italy first Kryton. I’ve been saying that Care should start all along…..Farrell needs to ease off on the testosterone patches!!!

Watching the womens rugby, its a good watch. Comparing the quality with the mens is pointless. Worth supporting though.

definitely Toys, bet they are still better than most on here!

Mind you, the French are looking good against this England side.

Well England played poorly for a lot of the match. Farrell’s limitations as an attacking fly-half were exposed. France played well and were the better side for a large part of the match.

England still won by ten points.

Says it all.

Big french girl has just been sin binned so we might get back into it..
we got 3 points out if it anyway.

The frogs do look way better though.

Ten point loss to the French 🙁

good try near the end though. Enjoyed that.

That young debutante (No23) so nearly made a stunning try on her debut as well.

yerp, she was good.

Jenny Sutton – best looking 2nd row i ever did see! 😳

indeed. there was some hotties all round..

great match.
highlight for me was Tuilagi walking through Bastardeau.

just hope there aren’t too many injuries or fatigue – some of the tackling was brutal.

Ms Sutton wasn’t playing though, was a pitchside talking head. 6’1″ – i think i’d need a ladder! 😆

Just googled and can’t say that she does much for me dwarf!! She’s better looking than Martin Johnson mind 🙂

You can stand on my shoulders…

France outplayed England for 50 mins and just as we were getting to see if a young england team could respond France imploded. Good win for Wales they were always on top.

Better late than never, eh? 😉

Well well well, a try or nothing for Ireland! 3 mins to go!

Good defending Scots!
Did well in the end, very tense final 15 mins.

We will dominate the set piece esp the scrum as Gods prop isn’t playing, Cross is a poor scrummager and Tom Court will has a point to prove as this is his first Ire appearance since the Twickenham scrum in reverse incident last year when he was playing out of position. With good ball we have a back line full of pace and creativity to do the damage. Ire by 8-10 points

Geoff Cross demolished court then kilcoyne and their line out ripped Ireland’ s to shreds. Absolutely delighted’

Well done Scotland. Did we bring on ROG to close the game or hand it to Scotland on a plate

Geoff Cross demolished court then kilcoyne

Kilcoyne yes but I’d disagree about Court. We gifted you the game, I’m not overly disappointed as we will probably see the end of the turnip head at the end if the 6N

Excellent game! Time to ship O’Gara off to pasture methinks

Great win for Scotland – gonna be sore after all those tackles!

WTF was ROG thinking when his silly little cross kick nearly resulted in Scotland scoring a try?
Still resulted in a penalty and 3 point for Scotland.

Here we go, Declan is on with a bit of blarney!

What resolve to keep going through that. 140 odd tackles!! A bit of a gift from Ireland though.

Wow. Very tense at the end. Thought Ireland would stretch away in 2nd half as we tired but great resolve to hold that line near the end. Good defence by Scotland and poor selection of options by Ireland in the 1st half. They should have been 9 points clear at least. Still got a problem competing at the breakdown, Ireland totally dominant there which allowed them to keep the ball for such long periods.

Very happy with a win though.

Ok, hive advice; I am in Bennets bar in embra,do I a)stay at my wee sisters and get hammered with the prospect of the v early train to work in t am.
Or b)Go home at about 7 when the buzz has worn off,sober up on the 2hr train journey home,sleep it off and be a good example of a modern educator tmw am.

Background; and this will amuse A-A who has the same job. HMI arrive in my school tmw to carry out an inspection…and I am the PT… 😀

Belches loudly and waves at the rugby thread,God it is good to not be living in misery after a Scotland game. Ireland were better,but we never gave them an inch,it feels so good. Oh,and Laidlaw must be on the plane.

I won a ticket to the game. Went along nice and early because I like to watch the players warming up. Even during the warm up Jackson was having serious trouble finding the target.

Ireland should have been out of sight by half time though.

We need to get Mr Barnes a better hotel when he comes north. He always seems to start the games spotting every blue infringement.

Laidlaw on the plane

to where?

No way should Laidlaw be getting touted as a Lion! Yes he’s a scrum half that can actually pass and is a good goal kicker, but he’s a mile behind Spike and Care…..
.and Youngs!

We need independence so we can deny Barnes entry 😉

Seemed a while till Ireland got penalised at breakdown though Harley should of seen yellow for tackling in the air. Makes up for the harsh yellow earlier.

I don’t get how everyone is saying that the yellow was harsh….Cole got done for it yesterday and nothing was said. Give away a penalty and then continue to infringe stopping play from getting going…what other way of penalising does the ref have?

Anyway in other news, how shit was Lawes at 6?

Duckie, option A get on it, it’s not often you Scots can enjoy a win over us 😀

Heh,working on it Melon,working on it….”Oh and Laidlaw is a scrum half who can pass and kick.” exactly Tom…
