most overrated player and team in the 6 nations

[TRF_Olyy]

Most overrated team is England!

Surely you have to be rated first, to be overrated?




Most overrated side is probably Wales: Don't get me wrong, they're a great team. However some Welsh fans, and Scrum V, go on as if they only have to turn up to win the Grandslam.

Most overrated player, despite not even playing yet, is Toby Flood. Apparently him being in the England side is going to turn us in to the All Blacks (and I don't mean we'll wear the change kit).

I can sense a bit of Munster jealousy going on, could say the same about a few Leinster players in the Ireland squad.

Connor Murray has an unbelievably predictable a pass. As soon as he drops his head you know he's going to pass if not he's going to kick, which he is quite slow, inconsistent and stupid at. He also is about as dangerous as an Elc toy. And don't bring Muster jealousy into this and if you want to I'll give you a challenge. Please go and find a post by me in which I'm bias towards a Leinster player.

Jiffy is not the whole of Scrum V <_<

It was mainly the guy on the pre-Six Nations show.
Can't remember his name.
Possibly Gwyn Jones?

He's 22 and your ripping the lad... please remind me how many international caps he has i'm sure its like 7 give him a chance to show his worth in the long run, dont judge him so early.

Is that really relevant to how he is rated now? At the moment he's not anywhere near as good as he is being made out to be.

Well if you watch the match again, particularly in the second half Ireland were literally running backwards allowing the biggest and one of the fastest backlines ever run straight and hard at them. In my experience it is hard to tackle anyone while running backwards now make that person George North and you have a serious problem. Also any international team worth their salt should realise this and have a plan B. I'm not saying Wales aren't the best side in Europe they just aren't as good ad the media and most people think.

That is Ireland's fault for allowing it ... not Wales problem. Can only play what's in front of you.

Probably have been Jason Mohammed. Gwyn Jones usually is quite good when he analysis stuff.

I'm going to throw out England and Ireland along with Wales all purely because the media have built them up.

Well if you say i don't particularly agree with you to be honest but ok, if your that bothered go pester your great leinster team for a young scrum half that's better because i cant see any better than him in Ireland at his age.

Luke McGrath's name is gonna pop up in a minute...

Cmac you're underrating Murray and you're just ****** off at him cause he's keeping your God out of the team in your opinion even though Marshall's not in the squad (not saying he shouldn't be , he actually should be but he isn't).

Luimneach you are however overrating him (probably because he's from Munster like,no offence you just seem like that ​type of Munster fan) the truth is he's in a happy middle.

 

[Seaton]

Scotland and Italy are a humble lot.

 

[cyRil]

Well. Well I've never. I'm putting you on my list on enemies. You're in for it now, Duck.
















Ha, no, look what I've really written:
I REALLY like Psychic Duck

I think I'm in love with you

Hate to sound like a dick, but I think that's pretty much true. If we turn up and play as we can in each of our remaining games, we'll win the Grand Slam.

Ok we will see how he does on the big stage when it matters until then Murray is better.

Doubt you will beat France sorry to burst your bubble.

I was joking I know Murray is the best at the moment. Though McGrath has bags of potential.

I doubted we'd beat Ireland...

Trust me its so obvious how this championship is gonna turn out Ireland will beat France, France will beat Wales, and it will come down to tries scored all that crap to see who wins championship.

Wales - Triple Crown Winners
Wales, Ireland, France?? - Championship winners

Rugby is never obvious.

Mind**** man.

Yeah tell me about it the Ireland team stresses me out to much, only if we turn our provincial success into the international game we might finally get consistency, if Deccie cant get anything this six nations might be time to part ways i think personally.

Equaly you could get beat by France have six nights rest play Scotland and then face England a week later. As a tired, battered and dishearted team.

The four games on the trot is not going to help the cause of France or Ireland at all. The two weeks to train and prepare for the next match could be critical for the others, and I can see it having a massive impact on this six nations.

Most over rated team- Scotland, every year they are bigged up with Andy Nichol and the media saying about how they are going to cause upsets but realistically they lack some basic skills
- Ireland, they are capable of some great performances but they need to be brought back to earth untill they can thing a game plan and then they could be winning so many more games

Most over rated players- Lydiate, I think it must just be me but I just can't see him do anything other than tackle well (i'll watch him closer next game )
O'Brien, more just out of form but realistically I would much rather both Ferris and Heaslip in my team
Flood and Youngs, both fail to perform with a consistent mental strength to be the top players they are made out to be

I'd have SOB ahead of Ferris and Heaslip. He wasn't voted the European player of the year for nothing. We havn't seen the best of him this season because he is playing out of his best position.
