RBS 6 Nations Rugby

[Le Sanglier]

from what i have been told, his mum is of native american heritage and his dad is a tree surgeon round here and used her name.

 

I very much doubt that, It's an old Anglo saxon name.

RBS 6 Nations is on! England against Scotland now! Currently 16-8 to England. Our center half is Billy Twelvetrees whose Dad is a tree surgeon in Sussex!

 

 

Nice one by the commentator early in the game - 'Twelvetrees felled five yards from the line'!

Ashton will be the point scorer of this 6 nations, I would put money on it

What a game. England don't give up any more. The combination of an accurate kicker and forward interpassing. Dan Coles excellent breakdown work. Tom Youngs now making accurate line out throws and burrowing like a ferret.

An almost try from one second row (Launchbury) followed by a try by fellow second row Geoff Parling. What a pass from Farrell. You couldn't invent this stuff.

Against Ireland. Well, I never expect England to win but again increasingly they do. There's a fantastic will to win with this bunch of lads.

I was shouting at the Telly like the Italians were my own team it was class to see. Fair fecks to them.

The Italians played with passion and as under dogs everyone in the northern hemisphere was routing for them, I'm sure, apart from the French. The early try must have given them the feeling we can do this guys. Our welsh ref was good I thought, fair and kept the game going as well as he could.

Contrast rugby with round ball football, rugby players can take a knock or three, play with integrity and treat the match officials with respect. The other lot cheat, go to ground in the penalty area if someone dares to look at them and then swear at the ref if it doesn't go there way

Mmmm, but true .

Utter nonsense! do you think whenever people talk about footy after a while the subject drifts to " oh isn't it a better game than Rugby"

No of course not 'cos they don't have to, it's self evident, more people play it and watch it worldwide.

I like Rugby well enough, it has it's charms but if Messi and co were on the other channel....
