How rude, anyone that says 'anyone but England' should be barred from the thread, especially if they're jock nobbers.
 
Wales15 England 25
Italy13 Ireland 45
France15 Scotland 27

GS None
Champions = England - points difference from Ireland
T.C. England
Calcutta Cup England by seven points
Wooden Italy - the spoon

Wales to get starved of ball all tournament...front row pinged and carded out of the matches...England's backs catch fire (except Freddie Burns) Italy watch Parese try once again...Ireland play with vigour, but not enough penetration, Scots cause a bit of trouble for everyone but run out of steam and France? Toulon sign McCaw and Armitage gets the sack. Dusautoir gets injured early and theFrench scrum gets cooked. The backs spend their time discussing business interests as the crowds practice their whistling.

Some of this May be valid - particularly the Scots bit...:whistle::rolleyes::smile:

England 61 Italy 9
Ireland 16 France 17
Scotland 8 Wales 21

Anthems table - final standings:
1 Italy
2 France
3 Scotland
4 Ireland
5 Wales
6 England

:smile:
There has been a stewards enquiry.

Italy DQ'd for having two anthems rolled into one. Ireland for having two anthems not rolled into one. Scotland DQ'd cos it is a 20thC "folk" song the tune of which can't be played properly by a pipe band, England DQ'd for using the anthem of the United Kingdom rather than one of their own.

So that leaves France and Wales. Welsh has the best tune, and is best suited to being bellowed by 70,000 pished Welshmen, some of whom may both know the words off by heart AND know what they mean. France the most stirring sentiments for the context.

France by a nose.

Wales, under an antipodean coach, appear to have adopted the antipodean "it's just a restart" approach to scrummaging.

If the Pontypool Front Row were dead they'd be spinning in their graves. As it is I suspect they are chewing the carpet.
 
A prop, on his debut, a 75 yard kick and chase try. You could not make it up.
"They'll never believe it in Pontypool"


and I don't think any current Welsh prop could do it.

His sideburns weighed a stone each! Also, sponsors would get the hump about all that nasty brown stuff around...instead of sponsor's blue staining the shirts and converting player's to a pale imitation of @ianrauk 's avatar. No modern player would be ready for that terrain, surely?

Gave myself a TMO there - a Tiny Meaningless ap'Ostrophe...ooops!

The kit man would strike, surely, if they played on mud. The blue dye washes out, but clay is forever.

RBS = really blue stains. What is this washing of which you speak? Gone are the days of watching the cream circular 'television' on a Sunday morning..recovering from the previous night's excesses, as fifteen (if lucky) shirts waved from behind the glass partition. Several sixpences later, and a seance of 'drying' might result in some just a bit smelly, not so grimy kit for the following week. Unaired, shrunken and about as savoury as a packet of cheese and onion...plus ca change!
