Thread: Six Nations Rugby 2009

think they are both English.

believe pot has welsh roots of some kind, but i've never met a scot who'd call himself a pom.

I'm half Welsh from Swansea & always followed Welsh rugby when I was young because my fathers Welsh. Also spent alot of my youth in the South Gower in Oxwich

Scotland played well against France but went down 22 - 13. Bad handling in the middle of the game let them down and let France in.

England to make an arse of it against Wales next. Great

Wales v England is close at the moment. 9 - 8 to the Taffies.

It could go either way, but Wales do have a knack of coming out strongly in the 2nd half.

Closer at half time than I thought, great kick for the try - feel Wales will be stronger 2nd half, more interesting game than I thought; thought Wales would turn england over

^ Scab!

They may well do yet.

I think that fucking ref was born in Cardiff though!

Actually, the England team need to sort their bloody discipline out.

2 very evenly matched teams separated by England's dire discipline.

Arse.

^Agreed.

I think that Ireland playing England at home and Wales away to France will decide the tourney, Ireland in a stronger posistion as of now

Watched both matches, and at least did not turn them off before the end as I did in last weeks matches.

Scotland were woefully undone with all their handling errors, some of these in positions where they could have gone on to score.

As for Englands match, I think that it hinged on the 2nd sin binning and I thought that Wales were going to run away with it then. But we got back at them, pity that last penalty did score, as it would have been a very interesting last 10 minutes.

Bloody good match!!!

Why? Is the road closed?

Bottleneck at Capel Curig.

Excellent victory for Wales. Yes we are all Welsh suppoorters this year.

Bloody plastic Taffies....

Yep, good result for Wales; the 2nd Sin binning was Englands undoing but fair result IMO; fair play to England a much better performance than against Italy.

Now where's that FA cup thread? I've few polite words about what happened there.

Well done Wales, just the Frenchies now

I thought Halfpenny was excellent for Wales.

France team for Wales.

half backs?????

where's the OMFG smilie?

France are shite, Wales will slaughter them.

after seeing that shite house selection, i think they will.

I am not so sure, Jauzion, Heymans and Nallet can't continue to play so badly, if they come to life, it could be a cracker, although I still think Wales will win.

Still on target for an Ireland/Wales last game decider.

Tense game so far, I think France look sharp with the ball in hand, but silly mistakes and infringements have hurt them.

Not happy to see Baby going off and Trinh Duc coming on, rate him highly.....

Nervous here, but Shanks has been immense.

Well, I think wales ended up with exactly what they deserved.

Did I miss something?

Too many, many mistakes by the Welsh, great game, very tough.

French shaded it, I think Shanklin was immense but Harri more so, Dusetoir was exceptional too, but with Jauzion and Heymans making in-roads, although nothing like their heyday, a deserved win.
