6 Nations 2020

[Rusty Nails]

The Wales defence coach has been sacked. They will rue not doing more to keep Sean Edwards.

They've been giving away tries since Edwards left and it is unlikely to change much in the next four weeks.

Fantastic try by May against Ireland.

I'd say the score flattered Ireland, who were never really in it. Never seen an England team operating with such ferocity, precision and intensity. They never let up from start to finish. Almost All Black-ish. Way the lads.

What I like about the England team is that they use their forward play to dominate and set things up, but their backs do not rely on the same old tactics of running straight into the opposition's strong defensive line. They pounce on mistakes and are not afraid to run it from anywhere.

In comparison the other home nations teams are one dimensional.

As a Welshman that was hard to admit.

As a Welshman you must be proud of the systematic demolition of the might Georgia.
But a win is a win when you are in a hole.

Tonight was a good night not to be selected to play a game of rugby in cold, wet and windy Llanelli. But with 13 changes it was all about looking to the future as we have quite a few players whose best days are behind them.

That was insane.

That was insane.

Terrible game for England.
The French new boys had nothing to lose whilst England just didn’t show up.
Farrell’s kicking was awful.
But sudden death is exciting.

I was fully expecting him to miss that last conversion.

I listened to it, sounded bonkers

Thought I'd resurrect this thread for the 2021 comp

I'm going to be very interested to see how Cameron Redpath gets on. Son#2 used to play schoolboy rugby against him (played centre against him) and Redpath never stood out as an exceptional player. There were much more stand out talents U12-U16 on the Cheshire schools circuit, none of which have gone on to major honours. I guess different boys (and girls) develop their talents at different rates.

Italy carrying on in this year where they left off last year, albeit against a very good French side.
Scotland doing well against England as I type.

 

[Dayvo]

Not that I’m actually watching it (BBC live text) but an under-par England are lucky to be only two points behind a rampant Scotland at the break.

 

[Chromatic]

I'm watching it and you are right.

 

[Grant Fondo]

Set up nicely for the 2nd half. Come on England!

Like the way they have got the crowd noise about right... that 80,000+ sound is a thing of wonder at Twickers.
