Six Nations Rugby 2015

Did you see that the way I did, he left his leg in to trip and deserved the card but Nigel Owens watched it right in front of him and was presumably happy it was an accident until Robshaw talked him into getting the TMO involved?

Robshaw natters at refs all the time, abusing his captain's so-called rights, and I reckon, that time it backfired. But I'd love to be wrong, and it was a case of him doing the right thing. Then again he may be playing the long game. "Dealt with by referee" almost certainly means the citing panel won't get involved.

What a cracking day of rugby! Congrats to Ireland

You sir are a gent.

I must admit it would have made for a ridiculously tense end if they had scored and then taken the conversion. What if they had missed?? Ohhh!!

I was urging England on there right at the end.

I was urging Scotland on throughout their game ;-)

Great spectacle - who really could have predicted that the championship would hang in the balance until the final minute.

England, Ireland and Wales can take a good amount of confidence from the experience.
They'll all believe they can still win from a decent deficit - great for a World Cup year.

Congratulations Ireland !

Well done Ireland by the way!!

If I had been at Murrayfield, I think I would have waited to see the match on the big screens with the Irish fans!

Well done Ireland. Laughing at the English and dissapointed we ended 3rd after that second half. I think the English will have 6 months of mental turmoil to get over and let's bring on the world cup.

What an advert for 6 nations it was today, unless you are Scottish or Italian but then someone always has to lose....

 

[Levo-Lon]

Great day ..pity my welsh mate got all fooked off about 3rd.well done Ireland

Cracking day of rugby.
Disappointed that Italy and Scotland seemed to go awol in the middle of the second half.
But also very odd that France kept playing after 80 mins, that would have been a rough on the Irish if England had scored.

 

[GrumpyGregry]

That didn't work out quite as well as predicted.

Cipriani's 40 odd minutes of redemption?

 

[GrumpyGregry]

To be fair, he didn't do anything to set himself back.

What was Lancaster thinking last time bring him on for less than 180 secs?

 

[GrumpyGregry]

Thinking?

Sorry. Silly me.

Footage of Scotland v Ireland U20s, with tries from Melrose's Neil Irvine-Hess and Lewis Carmichael (also man of the match), 2 names to look out for.

How lovely for Ireland. I had a smashing day, and, after all that - the best team won. When I used to play cricket, the phrase was "look in the book", regardless of any luck that might have come ones way.
It's only a game.

Nothing overly wrong with that . And means he can give a good bollocking in the dressing room. About standards. Maybe that's me with inbred ales glasses ( I left the autocrect in for inverdale )

I thought that what Robshaw was drawing Owens' attention to might have been some reaction from a French player that he thought needed addressing and it panned out badly for him. Either way, Haskell is a two edged sword.

Agreed about Haskell not sure on other. I like to think best of people .
