Rugby

[BrendanS]

Anyone watching the rugby?

Wales a bit scrappy compared to last weekends match, but a highly entertaining match never the less!!!

I hope Scotland/Ireland is as good!

 

[paulineb]

why aren't the scores shown on the screen ?

 

[BrendanS]

They are! On BBC1 anyway!

Just after I posted, all hell broke loose, and Wales scored 2 tries in 5 minutes. Wales so far in lead now, that can't see how Italy can come back. Won't post score though, in case it spoils it for someone

Scrappy match but Wales capitalising on lots of errors by the azzurri.

 

[BrendanS]

Some nice running play by Wales in 2nd half though. Wales just tried again, and a lovely piece of play. Foregone conclusion now though

Azzuri just didn't turn up today and Welsh forwards were poor. Disappointing all round. Hope the Ireland/Scotland game has a bit more passion.

I thought I understood the rules of Rugby, but the commentator referred to a Welsh forward "whipping his tackle out". Surely that's not allowed?

[Bejasus]

are you sure he wasn't referring to a Welsh fan, 'whipping his tackle off'? Ouch!!

Re:Scots, wha hae.....

As a tentatively hopeful Welshman (been here before see !!) I congratulate the Irish on their victory today. Tomorrow we must put our heads together and shout - ALLEZ FRANCE !!! /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

Re:Scots, wha hae.....

It would better suit your Championship hopes to shout for England. You do not want to meet a French side on song. You might find out how short lived glory can be.

Yes, I know. Realised my faux-pas after the editing time had passed./forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif It's an age thing. When I say hard a port to my helmsperson they immediately turn to starbd. Makes life very entertaining.

Re:Scots, wha hae.....

[Bejasus]

Rubbish

That won't be this French side then. What a boring, unimaginative side. Got to be the worst French side I have ever seen. England have NOT been good at all, but what rubbish competiton today.
Dreadful!! /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif............and this is just the first half.

Re:Scots, wha hae.....

only where the EU is concerned ..... grabbing gits !

 

[Cutter]

Pathetic
Bring back Wilko or anyone who dosent give 18 points away. Hodgson should be hung, drawn and quartered - and I'm feeling benign.
Awful second half

 

[Bejasus]

Re:Scots, wha hae.....

What a load of utter shite!! Hodsgon was absolutely rubbish. 18 points went begging.
Bring on the Welsh and the Irish and maybe we will see a decent game.

 

[BrendanS]

Re:Scots, wha hae.....

Dreadful game, completely missing the entertainment factor of other games over the past two weekends
