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 :)
Quite right retrocop, but I'm not talking about the players, just the toff rugger fans

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?'
Murrayield - great name for the ground sponsored by RBS......

And the have BT emblazoned on their strip. I thought anything British was a no no.
DTC, you're doing it as well, why mention football?
Not a toff panky
Love Rugby
Loathe pulled pork
Never missed a game when I lived in Cardiff
I've been in the oppositions end on many occasions without managing to get myself into a fight.

Why on earth would anyone think that rugby fans drink twice as much as football fans ... bizarre!
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' ;-)

Each to their own Arsksided. You will upset the picts saying things like that.
I agree each to their own, it was meant as a bit of tongue in cheeky fun.

Hence my winking smiley at the end.

Disclaimer: No Rugby Players were hurt or Injured whilst writing my last post
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.
Panky: "Why do rugby toffs always bring football into the conversation whenever someone says they don't like rugby? " - why do Soccer fans join a rugby thread just to troll post? You don't like it fine don't comment.
I wasn't trolling just having a jest, this was posted in Sport 'open to all' If it was in the Egg chaser section under football I wouldn't have read non of it.
hang on, so arksided and panky are the same person??
How do you work that out?

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.
Sorted Togo ;-) ... Yes time of post was relevant (hisc!) off to watch Football... :-)
I never noticed that though lol... Darkside :-)
