England Six Nations Squad 2025

[Saintjay]

What's the line from Gladiator something like "People should know when there conquered".

Being better at the sport that we gave the masses is just bloody rude.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Not sure it's "everyone".
Just Wales, Scotland, Ireland, France and Australia.

Don't think it's us anymore at all, the reverse actually. Probably have to go back to the Kidney days for Ireland's best performance in a calendar year being against England and 2021 for that to apply to the 6n. England have consistently raised their game to play us over the past few years.

Nothing to do with green shirts and everything to do with the psychology powers of Ewels and Steward.

This year's win was the only one in the last 5 where we haven't had a losing margin of at least 13. So if that's raising our game…..

It's a good narrative, but is that really a thing now, bar perhaps the first 5 minutes after the anthems? Maybe more for the fans than the players, although that might filter through a bit?

If Wal are bang up for it, its probably more because they'll be desperate to salvage something from their championship rather than the opposition being in white shirts.

For Wales and Scotland it definitely is. The only reason it's not so much for Ireland these days is because they are good enough to beat us without being fuelled by hate.

The Scots are too at the moment, but they're still annoyed about Longshanks.
