Six Nations

[Buckman]

Will anyone be watching teh start of the Six nations on Friday and Saturday? Here is the fixture list. I think that England and Ireland will be the favourites.

 

[cooky1]

Yes, looking forward to it

 

[Mr Plodd]

Cannot wait! But we are in Spain 3rd - 10th. But our hotel room has a TV, and some English channels, fingers crossed.

Not sure about Spain, But I would imagine that it is being broadcast in France? How many bringing some warmth and sunshine back with you?

 

[Mr Grumpy]

Definitely watching it.
As much as I want England to win I can't see them beating Ireland.

 

[otherclive]

Yes would not miss it. Even if I cannot see a match live it’s normally recorded and an embargo on news sites to stop me seeing the result.

OH has fully prepped. Fixture list to hand. Beers in fridge, all other commitments cancelled.

Played a bit of Rugby in my youth. Now I find it almost impossible to watch a game now, particularly England, want to know the results though.

 

[Beachball]

Yes looking forward to it cannot wait to see the outcome

 

[Mel]

OH now telling me about the schedule for Sin Bin. Another favourite part of the whole 6 Nations experience. I can hardly wait.

Well deserved win for Ireland. Don't think France really got going and were missing Dupont. Crowley had an excellent game - a good replacement for Sexton.

 

[Buckman]

Looks like South Africa beat England again yesterday at 6 Nations match?

 

[GUMPY]

It's quite interesting if you look at the percentages of foreign born players in each teams squad. Most are about 15% or so, Scotland is over 50% 😱

France v Italy was a great match
Italy should have won 😟
Best match so far in this series.
Going to be an interesting match with Wales in round 5, wooden spoon decider?

 

[Buckman]

It does seem to be going that way?

Enjoyed the thrilling match between France v Italy just wish it was a better outcome with Italy hitting the post on the penalty kick .

 

[Buckman]

Wow what a great weekend for rugby fans. Italy beating Scotland, England beating Ireland and France beating Wales. The England vs Ireland game was really tense, but thanks to Marcus we won! OH was not very happy about Wales losing to France as Wales just seem to lack enthusiasm in the last 20 minutes or so.

 

[otherclive]

My son will probably be contacting the health centre in Bridgend for some anti depressants 😂

I was wiling Italy on in the last few minutes.

 

[Buckman]

Very sad that Wales got the wooden spoon, however in the last 10-15 minutes that is how they should have played the whole game. However about time that Italy did better and they played a good game. I also read that Georgia is asking to join the 6 nations.

Georgia have been asking fir quite a long while.
