Six Nations Rugby 2008 - thump your tub!

[War Griffon]

There is method in the Welsh Coaches madness (I think) if Wales can get the ball to the backs then we might actually stand a chance by picking a squad that are mostly used to playing together regularly there is a good possibility that this might actually happen

Yeah OK so pigs have been known to fly but we can but hope

The Lions and the Dragons

Well Today\'s the day it starts.

reverend and War Griffon will be on \"tenderhooks\" hoping for a Welsh revival as the Ancient Enemies clash.

Personally don\'t care who wins as long as it\'s a damn fine game and they play like the heros we want them to be.

Well you got that right. Italy could quite easily have won it.

Half-time in England vs Wales. England could and should be about ten points clear. hope we don\'t rue this

I have given up watching it now it is just background noise.

How can England justify playing a league player that was born in Tonga brought up in New Zealand and played rugby League for Bradford and New Zealand???

His try was straight out of a rugby league hand book

I had to laugh though at the start when the comentator stated that they were playing Wilkinson to add some experience and guidance to the English side...I read that as meaning they were going to kick it to death

Wouldn\'t disagree too much regarding Vainikolo but them\'s the rules and everyone uses / abuses them. I seem to recall Wales using this to their advantage not too long ago.

After the abysmal way England played last year I\'m more than happy watching them today...

Correction \'WAS\' more than happy watching them. Well done fellas, back to the same old clueless rubbish...

Fair play. Wales fully deserved to win. Bet you\'re glad you didn\'t switch off now...

 

[War Griffon]

Well that was absolutely amazing Wales played their guts out for that last 20 minutes

Just goes to show as well though that the subs made removing the Osprey players made a big difference and proved that their is more than one club to choose a side from in Wales

Hook had an amazing game and I am still in shock at the turn around.

 

[Beelzebrush]

What the **** was that about?!?

England absolutely owned Wales in the first half and it really should have been dead and buried. Wales were abyssmal.

The second half is possibly the worse performance from England I have ever seen. It wasn\'t a case of Wales being good - because they weren\'t particularly good at all.... it was that England were unbelievably bad!



Speechless

Nah we just made you look good in the first half until we weeded out the Osprey dead wood lollollollol

I have a theory. As the teams were running back on to the field for the 2nd half, the theme tune from Torchwood was playing. Either, being based in Wales, Torchwood interfered or there was some space/time anomoly which meant the bodies of the England players turned up but their brains were stuck in the dressing room.

That theory makes sense to me so I\'ll buy it as the probable reality is even more unbelievable

 

[generulpoleaxe]

the reality that we have relied ona few players for a long time now.
and without them we are poo.

it will be another 4 years before this team gets sorted out, four bloody years.

And that is if you are really lucky

Look how long it has taken Wales and we are stil not their yet

 

[freakinacage]

feck, i hope the rest of the tourney doesn\'t go this way.

we did well first half...

wales pounced on every crappy mistake we made in the second. fair play to them

Thirty-odd years?

England just threw it away in the second half.

Wales said they would target Balshaw, which I don\'t think they really pulled off, but he did a great job of making a target of himself. Didn\'t really go into anything with any conviction and that kick, jesus wept, he could\'ve made a cheese toastie for his tackler the time it took him to get it away.

I think there were a few positives to take away from the match, but it seemed the mentality wasn\'t there in the second half. England were cruising and let their attention wander, rather than getting their heads down and simply playing rugby, which I think would\'ve given a decisive victory.

Two catastrophic strings of errors => England\'s first loss to Wales at the home of rugby for two decades.
