One Week And Counting

[Philtaz]

Well, one week and a day to the REALLY big match.....!

Yes folks it's just 7 days before battle will commence in the 6 Nations. To say I'm excited would be a massive understatement. It's gonna be a tough one to call but I predict Wales (wouldn't pick anyone else would I?) just with Ireland runners up.
Bar England most of the teams are on a par after good showings at the IRB World Cup, so......

Predictions?

Here's a taster to whet the appetite:

I can't get the site to open properly phil - it says it was last updated in March 2011?

We too can't wait.... we're usually in Spain for half the tournament so have had (had!) to watch in a friendly bar, so we're looking forward to watching from home this year!

That's right Zhukov, a tough, hard game for men, not those namby-pamby, rolling on the floor, book him ref book him, I want a car to take me to and from the airport, how much does my agent get, no I'm not coming off the bench, 65 grand a week don't they realsie I'm worth more than that (not!) types who play 'soccer' 3 times a week yet are 'fatigued and listless' even though they only do 2 hours training 5 times a week.

Must be your brower boxy, opens fine for me.

Anyone else unable to view the link?

If you want to feel a Man...play Rugby! ;-)

[Philtaz]

Nah, don't wanna feel a man, just nice to at least act like one when it comes to battle on a playing field.

[Philtaz]

Rugby: Get me a plaster, I'll stitch my face up later.

Football: Get me a doctor, my career may be over after that horrific tackle.

[Philtaz]

Bring it on!

Getting excited now!

Wouldn't watch Rugby if you paid me, along with Cricket and F1 I find them all mind numbingly boring

Each to their own though, enjoy it Philtaz, you seem as excited as a kid waiting for Christmas

[Philtaz]

More excited than that joeluke! This is Chrimbo, birthday and whatever the Easter bunny may bring all rolled into one, times 10!

NOTHING excites me more than a game of rugby but particularly when Wales are playing.
