[2015 Six Nations] Wales vs England (Round 1)

[Every Time Ref]

True...

The general rule is that it'd teams with weak scrums who should most fear bad referees...

You reckon? I'd argue a weak scrum is more likely to resort to trying to con the ref out of desperation, and a bad ref is easily conned.

But then I know **** all about scrummaging and I'm already 5 pre-7N pints down so what do I know. Just bring on the ****ing game, I'm so excited I can't sit still!!!! Scratch my earlier prediction, I say England by 20, JJ hat-trick

I'm so incredibly jealous of everyone who gets to get on the lash for this game.
I'm up at 4.30am for work tomorrow, and I've already checked: "England won/lost" isn't a valid excuse for not turning up

 

[Peat]

I feel your pain Olyy. I'm due in work in 4 hours. In fact, I only just woke up, and was in a huge panic that I'd slept through part of the game...

I'm probably gonna be lying on my bed with only Papa John for company.

 

[Every Time Ref]

Better than Papa Lazarou for company

 

[ratsapprentice]

This is a family friendly forum.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Is it just me or does there seem to be a bit more mainstream media coverage than usual this year?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I get all of my news via carrier pigeon, so I'm not sure.


Thank God it's half 7 and the build up can begin!

 

[Aristodemus]

Whoever did the opening credits for BBC1 is a fan of Game of Thrones! I like it

 

[Peat]

There's been a fair bit. More than last year, not sure. Think people are ramping it up prior to the World Cup.

 

[SharksFan86]

Yeh I have noticed the more than usual media coverage, can only be a good thing though !

Come on England !!!!

BBC obviously invested in some new stats software they're wanting to get their moneys worth on
"Look at this kick, it stays up for just over 4 seconds, it goes for 37 yards"

Not gonna lie, some of these songs sound like the songs that play in old Soviet news reels as every goose steps past the Dear Leader.

We need to give them an outlet of some sort, if we don't we'll end up with PC banging their tubs about independence.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Didn't realise Robshaw had a stone on Warburton!
I also thought that Sam was taller.




This light show is embarrassing.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Atmosphere is slightly reminiscent of 2013.

 

[Aristodemus]

Not a brilliant sign that is it Rats

 

[Mumbles119]

Booing. That's a lovely show of respect - nice (obvious sarcasm)

 

[lynam1104]

Well this is totally over the ****ing top
