Rugby - 6 Nations 2011

Begins this weekend...any followers out there, I know we have a load of Irish and Scots supporters on here.

Any Welsh fans as well - will be a good game this Friday.

Cmon ENGLAND.....!!

I'm looking foward to Friday.

the visit of England to kick start a week end of drinking.

We have a few injuries though to some big players (get the excuses in early).

Gonna be there singing Men of Harlech and all that.

CYMRU AM BYTH

Welsh playing in a kit that is too close to the scums!

Woooo! TRY to ENGLAND, and under the posts too!

Wales need to sort out their scrum.

Not that I care if they don't...

I have serious doubts about us this year.

Us being Ireland.

Too many aging players.

momentum with wales now

good game this.

Think they should have kicked for the corner instead of taking the 3 points.

They had them on the rack.

Wales let us off the hook.

Bit of a bind here - irish parents and have spent a lot of time over there, but born and educated in england, so my loyalties are somewhat divided when england and ireland play.

Or look at it another way - it's a win-win situation for me

YESSSSSS!!!  Try for Wales.  COME ON YOU REDS!  Come on Cymru, sort the sachs out.

YESSS!  James Hook penalty gets us right back in it.  COME ON WALES!

F***ing bollocks

Really good game of rugby - I'm not an afficianado of the game, but I understand it to an extent, and that was a super game.

It seemed that wales could never quite get on the front foot enough to put concerted pressure on england - but that was more down to england being good than wales being bad.

Thoroughly enjoyed it - but wales need to start taking their chances.

England were clinical, wales weren't - as ever, that was the difference.

England won then?

Good win for England, hard fought. Get in!

England won then?

Yes

Good win for England, hard fought. Get in!

 
 
 

Good win for England in a tough atmosphere. 3 matches at Twickenham now. Take all 3 and it's a potential grand slam showdown in Dublin. Biggest chance of a 6 Nations Championship and a Grand Slam for England since 2003 I think!

Well I spent all my money Last night in the pub.

I hate it when Wales or Liverpool play on pay day!!!

I have serious doubts about us this year.

Us being Ireland.

Too many aging players.

Too true. We were piss poor against Italy today. It was a terrible match, the only good thing about it was an exciting final 5 mins. Once again we needed an O'Gara drop goal to save us.

France next Sunday now. As George Hook said "we may get the Rosary Beads out for next Sunday!"

good weekend to kick it off

the wales v england game was a cracker and a great win

Johnson doing a good job with England much improved in the last year

I keep saying to myself I'll try to get into Rugby but then I realize I don't even know all the rules yet and kinda give up. But last week I watched a bit of the England's game and it was so entertaining, I decided I'll give it another try this weekend. Which game should I be looking forward to?

Ireland beating France right now. Although I think the French will beat us to be honest, they'll come out after halftime and walk all over us.

The best half of rugby in the 6 nations so far lets hope we keep it up cmon Ireland !

first 10 minutes of this half are key for Ireland.
