Cause he's an idiot?

On top of that he's over-rated and has an over rated sense of self belonging!

I don't do any of them Fantasy team things, especially as England are gonna pan everyone this year in the Nations!


And if we don't, we'll still sit there and say we made the World Cup final and where done over by a biased ref! (Which in my view makes us Champs.......lmao)

6 nations soon.

Got to say, i think come 5:pm saturday, the winner of that game is gonna win the 6nations

P.S

I've got one helll of a bad feeling England are gonna be amazing

Edited at 10:43 Wed 30/01/08 (GMT)

Hmmm....... they'll either be amazing or poor!
(Starts to feel like Kevin Keegan)

We got a few forwards injured and out, Corry has quit etc, Wales are gonna be fired up. Could go anyway, hard one to actually comment or predict on!

The only plus for England is that Wales are using alot of Ospreys who like the flowing rugby, which with a nice hard tight defence will be easy to sort out. However, if the forwards play crap, you win!


Looking forward to watching rugby again, missed it since the world cup (I don't have Sky TV)

The way i see it is, Gatland has a cunning plan
The plan, i think is:

1) Play Parker over shanklin to cut down Tindall with his big bold runs, also play him for the rush defence the Ospreys use, so with Henson and Parker being the O's centres then it should work.

2) Use the 22 man squad available. Look at the welsh bench, its alot stronger than the English bench, with shanklin and Jones and Jenkins (3 lions) on the bench i think the plan is to win the game in the last 20 minutes

3) Play Byrne for his monster kicks. We all know Balshaw is suspect under pressure kicks and with Mark Jones on the wing (amazing under high balls) could work a treat.

If those plans pay off, Wales are gonna win for the first time in 20 years at Twickers

Also i dont know if the English newspapers have Gatlands interviews in them but he saying how unimpressed he is with balshaw and that their is alot of weak links in the England squad

Kick N Chase takes a back seat now as the new and improved Rugby comes back... Can't wait for the new season to start and to see some tries being scored instead of drop goals (3 points for a drop goal, you kidding me? ) penalties and needless scrums. Time for the mighty wire to claim a top 6 spot

PAUL CULLENS BARMY ARMY


On a serious note though, arn't union going to try and get rid of the traditional scrum and use Leagues way of doing things? And if so what do you think to it, England would be stuck as they et alot of tries off scrums!

It's never gonna happen pooliver, some idiot monkey who knows nothing about Rugby Union probley said that, Union would never allow it!

You League lot have your own thread now, we don't want any silly arguments about which game is better, as I think we already know......

cymru am byth!

congrats to wales for winning, took them 60 mins to start playing, but when they did, they really played....England (as an englishman) cruised then sank, come on england u can do better, but as tradition goes when england start bad they tend to just get better, so lets see eh?

*tosses a cold frosty beer to stella*

Well Done to Wales, great comeback in the second half. Rooting for England, but the victory for Ireland makes it all better

As if i would do such a thing!!!

I am not one to gloat John, you know me better than that

But not even the fausty taste of sevaral Stellas and a few JD's can spoil the sweet taste of success i have in my mouth at the moment!

And i re-iterate what my Welsh friend Lisa has said

Cymru am byth

Well, lets hope we don't let other small teams beat us like that...........

They never let, england didn't and couldn't handle the welsh in the second half

Come on, I don't mean to be a ruiner, but the only reason Wales won is because England were so poor in the second half, not because Wales were any good. Don't read into it too much lads, I'm sure you'll get better!

England were a mess in the second half, Italy could of beat us playing like that.

So the same reason england won the world cup , cause australlia were so poor

LMAO! Awww you keep telling yourself that mate!

Suppose we only got to last years World Cup final because everyone else was so poor....... And the only reason we lost it was because of a silly bias ref.......

and only reason england were infront in first half cos wales were so poor

oops sorry thought i was on other name

Clutching at straws now........

Thought the Scots where very slightly unlucky today, seems Alan (am I French or Irish) Rolland forgets certain rules of rugby. The ball just didn't seem to like Scotland either, ah well, they need more confidence in their running rugby and learn, a little like England, how to give that killer blow when in the oppositions 22! I would say more to come, but my favourite Lamont seems like he might be seriously injured, fore shame!


*Can't wait till next week*
