Not gona happen now though, is it.


[edit] Another one.

Thus far i've been pissing myself laughing.

Only wish my dad had survived the week to see it.. he'd have loved it.

Thanks for giving me a smile Eng team.

Good come back from France but really pleased at how Eng played the first 50. Flood direct play outstandingly.. his loss was noticed in terms of their flow. Armitage.. Lions fullback right there.

[Yorkcityknight]

Armitage.. Lions fullback right there.

Couldn't agree more. Best I've seen him play in an England shirt.
Great performance from the entire team with the single exception of Simon Shaw who was average at best.

He gets better every day. For such a young man to survive the pressue of the last two games with confidence was really impressive.

Today he got to show his stuff on the front foot.

I felt Easter played well too, but Davies was pretty scathing of him.

[still]

Bloody hell.. i said they were not far off being a good team and needed to click.

This has clicked.

If they build on this nobody will want to go to Twickers.

I'd love to believe, this but they lost the plot a bit in the second half - they still have to be more professional / clinical - their aim second half really should have been to keep france to nil points. Still there were signs of genuine improvement - I particularly liked Borthwick actually playing a captain's role for once. Half of sport at this level is psychology / self belief - maybe some of the younger players learnt something today. PS France ! (But half the blame for that has to be the team selection in the first place.)

Yes, for the first time Flood was really convincing - he really needs to have more self belief. I got the feeling today that a lot of the younger players just played the same kind of game they play for their clubs week in week out and there ain't nothing wrong with that. Ditto Armitage, he is slowly getting better and better.

Yep, agree with all of your points there. That was the first time Borthwick looked like a Captain.

France has had some wierd selections.. He's used over 80 players in 12 months or something like that. Bonkers.

This is it...the day of reckoning...

COME ON IRELAND

[Something Fishy]

I'm rooting for Ireland, would be great to see them get their first GS in over 60 years.

[chalkitdown]

COME ON IRELAND

[Scotticus Erroticus]

I fear for Scotland today. C'mon the Scots!

But, Ireland will do it... sure of it!

Scotland are going well and Eng are not where they need to be.

Going to be close and could go either way.

[Mommy Christmas]

Éireann go Brea!!!!*




Top man Chalky!

[chalkitdown]

Hold ctrl & alt while hitting a vowel to put a fada over it.

[Something Fishy]

Not 6 nations but

Redruth 96 - Liverpool Waterloo 5

Another one for the celts.

Good win for Eng over Scotland. Three tries. I thought Scotland were immense in defence. People keep saying matches involving Scotland boring but for me they are not if you enjoy seeing a team give everything for their nation.

Anyway.. for my dear departed Grandad.. Go Ireland.

[bear]

This is so bloody tense.

[Something Fishy]

This is so bloody tense.

I felt it would be close.

It's a lot easier to watch when you're not Welsh or Irish I reckon.

[chalkitdown]

Brilliant first half. The Wales lineout has been awful, Ireland's passing has been awful and O'Gara looks to be having another nightmare. It could go either way. There's nothing between the teams.

Second half will be epic.

[Something Fishy]

Try.. go Ireland.
