MickyD Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 I'm loving the coach telling us how they're playing "High Level" at around 1.04 just as the catcher drops an easy catch.Think I prefer basketball though. Quote
madthatter Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 OK then. Never seen this Micky? My word! Heaven Proper lasses them Quote
Casino Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Apparently Solomona is English in a month Quote
Matt Lofthouse Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 Bump Wins for Wales, Ireland and England. ???????? Quote
Whites man Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 I hope Scotland win this weekend, I have enjoyed their progress over the past few years. Of late they have had a cracking back 3 and I knew Richie Gray from his time at Sale but the time have kicked on. On many occasions they fell just short but hopefully the win against South Africa in the Autumn was the corner being turned. Question for the League lot; could Richie Gray at 6' 10" play that code? Quote
bolty58 Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 Wins against Italy (cake walk) and Scotland will equal the All Blacks record of 18 consecutive wins. Dublin then becomes even more interesting - Grand Slam plus the record? Quote

Second row is probably the most difficult position to switch codes. No lineouts, and not much resting time. Quote
Matt Lofthouse Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 Decent win for Scotland for the first time in 10 years! Quote
green genie Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 Shame the weather played into Oirish hands {or feet to be exact) Quote
Salford Trotter Posted February 26, 2017 Posted February 26, 2017 A well deserved victory for Ireland and that still keeps France in 5th. The stage is set for a glorious England victory against the whipping boys Quote
Spider Posted February 26, 2017 Posted February 26, 2017 England players having the ask the ref what the rules are. Smiffs will be pissing his pants Lolllllll Quote
Matt Lofthouse Posted February 26, 2017 Posted February 26, 2017 Not the greatest first half ???? Quote
Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 26, 2017 Posted February 26, 2017 Clever Italian preparation. Jones will sort em out now. Confident they'll turn it round. Quote
Underpants Posted February 26, 2017 Author Posted February 26, 2017 30pts coming our way this half. Quote
Sweep Posted February 26, 2017 Posted February 26, 2017 England players having the ask the ref what the rules are. Smiffs will be pissing his pants Lolllllll he surely won't be watching it will he, with it being so shit Quote
Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 26, 2017 Posted February 26, 2017 Well done england. That charge down leading to the last try was immense. Got a whack to the head but still held it. Hope Madine was watching- that's commitment and professionalism. Quote
maaarsh Posted February 26, 2017 Posted February 26, 2017 Italian's taking the piss. The rules are inherently contrived to create a fair contest and allow a flowing game; if that tactic came in to regular use it'd just have to be banned with an off-side line formed by any tackle. Quote

It through a spanner in the works though! What I liked was England's plans to counteract it. Don't think they could continue with those tactics though as teams would be prepared for it. Quote

Don't think they could continue with those tactics though as teams would be prepared for it. Our plans took quite a while to turn up. If they won't form a ruck then their tackler has to release and roll and our ball carrier can just drop the ball and pick it up and go. There's a reason teams do commit men to the ruck but we seemed to have forgotten it for most of the match. Quote

Adapt and deal with it. I thought it posed an interesting conundrum for Jones and the players. Good tactic by Italy and it kept them in the game and made it more interesting than it would normally have been. Quote

Fair play to the cheating tank reversing shit houses. Quote
Smiffs Posted February 26, 2017 Posted February 26, 2017 England players having the ask the ref what the rules are. Smiffs will be pissing his pants Lolllllll There's aren't actually any rules. The ref blows his whistle for a hooooof when he can see the fat lads are fucked. Quote
bolty58 Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 There's aren't actually any rules. The ref blows his whistle for a hooooof when he can see the fat lads are fucked. Aye, and 81,904 silly fuckers turned up to watch it and similar crowds seem to always attend. Beats me what they see in it The next time I use the term 'cake walk' again boys, please remonstrate with me. Clever but sneaky ploy by the eye-ties. No wonder the players were asking the ref WTF? Still on target for a Grand Slam and I have a feeling that the frustration from yesterday will be carried over and unleashed on the the Jocks before the one that matters in Dublin. England haven't played consistently well yet this series - just fits and starts. Just wait until it clicks and someone will get an absolute hiding. Lets hope it's the Paddy's. Quote

Before the 6 Nations started Brian O'Driscoll predicted Ireland wouldn't win the Grand Slam but would stop England winning it in Dublin.The Irish looked a good side against France Quote
