Six Nations 2010

Who is watching??

Couldn't see the previous game (Ireland vs Itay), but I'm watching England vs Wales! Very very nice game!!! :D
They're giving a hard time and this try from England was really expensive to "buy" :)

And this new English uniform (vintage style) is really nice...

i am.
Italy & Ireland was pretty dull.
Both teams being sloppy and Ireland getting the breaks.

I'm watching too.

Wales lost so I don't care about anything else.  :(

Well the England v Wales game wasn't exactly exciting, I'd go as far as saying it was a bit shite. Apart form a couple of individual pieces of flair it was a game of mistakes. Hardly top flight rugby if you ask me. I wonder what the French are going to be like this year.

The more home nations rugby I see and then compare to certain southern hemisphere teams, the more and more depressed I get. I don't see any of the northern hemisphere teams having the fluidity and the ability to control the flow of the game unlike say the all blacks.

shobet is obviously referring to Brazil when he says: "then compare to certain southern hemisphere teams" :lol:

I thought it was nice, but I didn't see that much tests... They're not widely shown here on Brazil...
Philly, on the second time I was cheering for Wales, but some mistakes happened... English's pack forward suffered a lot on scrums, don't you think?

The narrator said the nš9 from Wales was the 2nd replacement guy... He made some not very nice plays, sometimes he was supposed to pass the ball and he tried do it himself...

Johnny played a lot too

Thanks for supporting Wales, Fernando!  I think the scoreline flattered England a bit, for sure. 

But I have to admit..... I'm not really a rugby fan.  I only watch the Six Nations, not bothered about the World Cup or anything (partly because we have zero chance of winning it).

Well, the first game I've watched was England vs France in my travel to england in 2007... I was the North London Tavern in Killburn High Road :)

So the only "north vs south hemisphere" I could see was the final, but I didn't think Wales played MUCH worse than England, perhaps it's possible... Moral and faith counts a lot in sports...

Sadly the England team is a bit pants at the moment.
I've not been able to get  back in to rugby after inexplicably putting it to one side about 4 years ago.
I should get off my backside and go and see Sale when they play. I can walk to the stadium in 5 mins

The All Blacks will probably still choke at the world cup next year though :)

England v Wales is always a bit all over the place when its the opening match for the two sides, more so than perhaps any of the other clashes during the 6 nations its a battle of hearts rather than minds (I really really don't want to lose to Wales).

Having said that, I am interested to see how France perform. If they're any good at all they could be up for the Grand Slam given the quality seen so far.

With Philly....

Was gutted when we lost yesterday - down to someone sticking a leg out at the wrong moment and an Irish/French ref...

Bah humbug
