Six Nations 2017

Mrs Marmion is currently trying to watch the rugby whilst sitting on the sofa. She's not having much joy.

Almost definitely pished, otherwise they would have remembered that The Edge is English or possibly Welsh.

I shall highlight their error, I am sure they'll give a toss

A game of two halves?

Bit disappointing that. Expected the Azzurris to give 'em a bit more of a run for their money. Not much of a contest in the end.

And you still think Ireland would not have won the ball and run 100 metres for the score? Jeezo.

Yeah I do. I've seen even more Ireland games.

Sad news Joost Van Der Westhuizen has died after his brave battle with motor neurone.

Who did he play in the 6 Nations?

 

[rich p]

Who did he play in the 6 Nations?

Probably England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland and France.
What's your point?

Sad news, a great player.

I didnt want to start a new RIP thread for someone that many haven't heard off.
I thought an already existing rugby themed thread would target the key audience who appreciate his battle.

It does.

Tragic early loss, to a bar steward disease, of one of the all-time great nines. His personal life got a bit colourful in the years after the World Cup win.

But he proved Lomu could be tackled.

England need to beat Wales convincingly this weekend after Saturday's lacklustre outing.

I am not 100% confident that we will.

 

[GrumpyGregry]

I would settle for beat Wales, which effectively means spotting their 20 minutes and containing it.

If I have to settle for win ugly then so be it, though it is no pointer to RWC.

Wales will hit us with 40 mins I think, 20 from the off, five either side of the break, and the last 10. And I hope it doesn't come down to the last 10.

With Haskell and Hartley ugly is the keyword


It's good to see that it's not just me and wife who have spotted that Wales have gone from 20mins of good rugby in each half to 20 mins overall !

I think it may go down to last 10. But if Wales don't pick the game up then England could smash us. I just hope Eddie wasn't playing the mind games by easing up on France and making it look like England were pants then smashing the rest of the matches.
