England Vs Ireland.
Are we ready for what should be 'the' game of the weekend.

Togo It was a good game and the usual highlight for me in the 6 Nations although I am half Welsh but English born and bred.Ireland never make it an easy victory for their opponents and I for one was not disappointed in a game I always enjoy watching. :-)

A very enjoyable game in which stamina training paid off for England. (Congrats, DTC, by the way!)
I'm pleased as well because that puts Scotland 4th (I'm half Scottish, they are usually the underdogs and they have improved so much) - Yes, I contributed to the other thread and cheered them on.
Apart from the Wales/France match, a good weekend's rugby :)

You too dt. Good call on the early thread then? £25up on it, was tense though.
Panky for someone who hates rugby and never gets to watch it you seem to be an expert on the people who do. Perhaps if you had watched the game instead of the crowd when you had the chance......well you never know. Where was the game you did see? The Albert Hall? Tate Modern? Royal Opera House? Murrayield?

soccer - a game for gentlemen played by hooligans, while rugby - a game for hooligans paid by gentlemen.
Panky, I lived in Paris and went to a France England rugby game at Parc des Princes three days after the corresponding soccer fixture, one of the nice things about that stadium being the proximity of the bars and caffs to the exits. The folk working the bars comment was 'why is it that the rugby fans can come in and drink three times as much as the football fans and we get no trouble, ok - one or two in the fountains, but no violence?'

Rugby born of football.
Doh I'm so *** at tackling think I'll pick up the ball and run with it and if any body get in my way I'll gouge their eye out and launch them in the air.
I hope they introduce a part of the game wear we can cuddle and smell each others back-sides and jock-straps.
we could even call it a 'Gentlemans game' ;-)

MM:"and TTT..as I have asked you more than once and never been answered..how are you in any way qualified to know what WE Scots think of the English" - answered many times, weight of evidence, anyone but England, Scotland always favour the opposition, do not be surprised when that attitude is reciprocated.
Arks I did not take your post as anything other than light hearted. I noted the time and thought, 'he's in a worse state than I was' and had a laugh with my early cuppa and ciggie. I did though miss spell your moniker on purpose. Ha ha never knew a rugger thread to wander as much. We were all probably as 'wobbly' as Sexton.
