[Six Nations 2018] Round 2: England vs Wales (10/02/2018)

[Mr Ruggleby]

Aww look - well done, who's a clever boy then?

WARREN, WARREN'S A CLEVER BOY!

 

[Mr Ruggleby]

What's with all the false modesty?
England will win, that's not even in question.
Wales' victory will be sneaking a losing bonus point.

Agreed. England will win.

If Wales manage to sneak an early score or two, then I expect it will be a relatively close game until the last 15 mins, where England will get a cushion and then kill the game off.

If England score early, I'd expect the resulted to be decided by 50 mins and win by 20+

wales have won 11 grand slams, 3 since they formed professional regions, england have only won one in that period. a pathetic sum total considering their enormous wealth population player base etc

England has won 13 Grand Slams and one World cup.

England have won 13 grand slams and 23 total championships since the 5 Nations started. Wales have won 19 with 9 grand slams in the same period. This is a good return given Welsh limitations in resources, player quality and rugby nous. But it is not better than the mighty English as your post would suggest.

 

[bushytop]

Just listened to the latest egg chasers... never much love for the welsh on there usually but one of the guys predicted a Welsh bonus point win.

Curiouser and curiouser.

 

[Mr Ruggleby]

Also, I'll just leave this here...

 

[ncurd]

Since professionalism (a sensible place non arbitrary place in the history of rugby to generate since statistic from that or world cup cycles).

England 7 championships, 2 grand slams and 7 triple crowns
Wales 4 champions, 3 grand slams and 3 triple crowns

Does this say anything to who will win tomorrow like **** it does. It's meaningless ******** and proves absolutely nothing.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Was a good game to watch just had to appreciate how much better Leinster was.

(P.S. When you taking MOC back off us like last time?)



Guilty as charged, My superior english edumacation gives me an advantage i guess.

I just remember being nervous af! I don't think MOC will ever get himself a contract with Leinster unless it coincides with Ireland passing purge laws!

I know, you're a trooper aren't you? And just think, tomorrow, if you lose, you can recycle those dusty old pics all over again, and remember the good old days when you won the world cup

I know its wonderful isnt it? I feel sorry for all the other 6 nations sides because they just have to cry in their cornflakes instead.

 

[Every Time Ref]

Are Wales still due to turn up? I'm expecting the breaking news story any moment now to confirm the WRU agree with the majority view that there's no point turning up and will not be sending a side.

21 games vs 9 games

21 games vs 9 games

You're forgetting Wales have a 100% win record when they don't lose.

Didn't they draw with Ireland a couple of years ago?

Actually, and I mean this with the greatest respect, the only time I cried in my cornflakes was when England got sent packing at pool stage in the last world cup. Now THAT was tear inducing though I suspect not for the same reasons as it was for your goodself.

If you lose tomorrow, it will be half a decade since you beat us in the 6 nations.

Aww I can see a whole heap of gold stars being given out this weekend for all the oozing cleverness that comes from the average english supporter.

I WONDER what the state of play will be this time tomorrow, half hour in.
