Six Nations Championship 2013

[valleyboy]

6 - 16, Well the "onslaught" was unfounded, a crap game really, but a win is a win !, it's really quite sad to see France at the bottom of the table ! (or is it ??). 

[Highlander]

Yes valleyboy a win is a win.

A poor game on an even poorer pitch.

I thought the French were dire and are really where they deserve to be in the table.

Hilary is now being very smug about her rugby prediction ability. I don't mind because it's good to have a win at last - even from such an ugly game where defence was so much better than attack. She now says it will be tricky but she thinks Ireland might win.

Ireland 6 - England 12, well it was never going to be pretty, and the weather didn't help, England's composure and discipline with the addition of Owen Farrell's tremendous kicking abilities shone through for a deserved win. With 2 home games ahead of them must make them favourites for the Championship and a possible Grand Slam !

[Highlander]

Not a great advert for the game was it

[davybill]

  :DYes not a great game but good pnts for England.

[valleyboy]

Yes, must be looking favourites now, but the drama is starting to develop nicely !!, they will need all their strength in depth, composure and discipline, with a long way to go, a "wounded" France at home are bound to "kick in" at some point during the tournament (or will they !), and dare I say it Wales in the final game in Cardiff, we have been known to "spoil a good party" !!!  ).

Any way a week end off this week, to mull it all over     

[valleyboy]

Well, round 3 approaches with; Italy v Wales (Sat. 23rd Feb 14.30); England v France (also 23rd 17.00) and Scotland v Ireland (Sun. 24th Feb 14.00).

Let's hope all well rested and bruises healed for the next installment !!

That must have been some insult that Parisse handed out to the referee to get a 40 day ban. If they applied this in soccer then Saturday pitches would be home only to tumbleweed in a fortnight's time. I understand that Italy are now going bring back Berlusconi Bergamasco.

[valleyboy]

Yes, would like to have been a "fly on the wall" there Colwyn, a bit drastic to say the least, although it could be good news for us Welsh supporters, it's a bit of a shame for the game's sake as I, along with true followers of the sport I'm sure, always enjoy watching Parisse play.
