The rugby

[Dogtrousers]

I can't see anything other than a last day France/England decider

Back to the old days of 'Le Crunch". Maybe.

But counting of unhatched chickens is a pretty perilous thing to do where England Rugby is concerned and the Scots and/or the Irish could well mess things up.

Just to add to my England pessimism, England have not won in Paris since 2016

Ireland missed a lot of tackles, or France slipped their way out of a lot of tackles, depending on your viewpoint. some slick handling and exciting rugby for the French though. Question is, can the do it on a wet Tuesday night in stoke?....oh hang on wrong cliche!

Wasn't it raining last night?

Yes I agree. The joy of the 6 nations is that most teams can beat each other on their day. England have not beaten Scotland v often recently and they will be stung into action in Murrayfield especially if they can pretend they are the underdog. Scotland have an excellent back line if their front 5 can match England. Wales will definitely raise their game and France away is about as hard as it gets except for the Boks.

Wales have the making of a half decent club side.

England A doing a job on the Ireland XV atm.

Wales U20s 16-0 up at HT. Pouring with rain in Northampton.
England 10 not looking good.

Yes, it is on Premier.
I’m having to watch the Under 20s too, Wales deserve their lead, England have been poor.

Pouring with rain in Leicester too. Quelle surprise given it’s almost next door.
Have to say that it’s not too bad a game given the conditions.
A few good tries.
TNT of course.

 

[Blazing Saddles]

England U20s now leading…

 

[Dorset Boy]

19-16 to England U20s at FT, big turnaround especially as the England 10 was red carded with 20 to go.

England A result?

 

[Dorset Boy]

52-14 win for the a team too.
