Rugby this weekend
 

Wales, England and Ireland to win this weekend?

Wales have to be the ones to beat, established team on the back of a grand slam, confidence will be high

Scotland...no comment, they simply don't have the players to do 80 minutes

England.....don't seem to have a plan or any confidence

France...new team, but which one will turn up

Italy....wouldn't we all like to see them get somewhere, (Scotland are the obvious ones to beat)

Ireland...don't know, I'd have them as runner up

Do not disturb for the next 5 hours unless it's to bring me a cold one

That will be Mrs.KB drooling over the players for the next few weeks then!:lol:

Bergamasco has had an absolute Barry Crocker, Italy needed to shelve him!

Love the 6 nations, I get to drink beer during the day ... mmmmm, beeeeeer :D

Well how boring was that? 4 tries from errors and against a non-event at scrum half for half the game. How can 15 or indeed 21 professionals play with such lack lustre and no plan, no skills, no clue? What is it with all that kicking? Worsley was the only one who looked like he wanted to play rugby with any forward momentum, aggression and pace.

Why is it that the home nations teams have pretty much had the same reputation for 30 years. England were boring when I started playing rugby and still are.

Hopefully Ireland and France can save the day, or I might just fall asleep on the settee

Amen to that!

I kinda stopped watching it. I was really only interested to see Luke McLean (good Italian name ;) ) and how he did. Apparently he's a Brisbane boy with Italian heritage. He did alright and showed a bit of ticker. Something England lacked!

And already in the French/Irish game we've seen some expansive backline play!

There you go, that was a game of rugby. Hopefully we can get more tomorrow, (and maybe an upset?)

I think the Welsh will run all over the Scottish to be honest. But I'm hoping we'll see some good running.

Nice to see BO'D back in form too, he's a class act.

Thought the Ireland/France match was very good, looked at one point as thought Ireland would lose it by not keeping ball in hand as a lot of their deep kicking did little or nothing to gain territory.

You need to be very brave to try that on the French IMHO as they are one of the best running rugby teams out there, probably the best in Northern hemisphere.

It was good to see a generally flowing match not dominated by forward play, you can usually guarantee that from the French if they are allowed to get away with it.

Missed the England/Italy game but by all accounts it was a tad lacklustre.

went to Twickenham. probably the most boring game ive been to in memory. still, plenty of beer before, during, and after!

Bugger!
