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

[ncurd]

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.

At least when we were hosts we got knocked out in the group stages we lost to tier 1 sides.

When you were co-hosts can you remind me who kicked you out at the group stages? I mean how does feel to be kicked out by a tier 2 team?

 

[The5thOfficial]

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

Yet another gold star. Your maths is faultless! Half a decade? You mean 5 years, right?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

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

According to the tables posted above we've scored 2350 points without a single point being scored on us*. That has to be a record, right?



*excluding all the points teams scored against us.

Ahh the (ancient) history books again! Your fav subject I take it. Look, you can have an extra gold star, how's that?

5thoffcial why are you getting so touchy we are clearly just taking the ****

Correct

I just watched 5 of the best vs Wales. It made me feel all warm inside.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Only the last two years are relevant in rugby,
Luckily

LOL touchy? Me? I'm good - very good in fact. I know Its tomorrow that really counts!

This is actually true - and those results are CLOSE, no?

27-13 isn't particularly.

I just watched the highlights of 2016. I remember it now, the North in touch fiasco. However it was forgotten that Cole clearly touched down in the first half and it wasn't given. Which would have taken it to 23-0 at half time...

Oh for sure. But again - tomorrow is another day, and s*** happens!

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Whatever happens tomorrow, I don't think will be a true representation of the 2 sides. Both have some seriously key players missing; Faletau, Warburton, JD2 etc. for Wales and Youngs, Vunipola, Hughes, Daly and all of our LHPs for England. And for that reason, the Welsh shouldn't feel too bad when we finish them faster than Gats finishes the hopes of worthy Lions squad members.

Not if you exclude all the points Wales scored

Players are all ways missing

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Players are all ways missing

Just some are only missing after they walk onto the pitch

[Vieux Talonneur]

England has won 13 Grand Slams and one World cup.

QED. And because we're modest, non arrogant, Englishmen we've not mentioned that we've also got to two other finals. Memory's fading a bit, but I'm sure our friends across the bridge can remind me precisely how many finals they've been in. In round terms.

wales are missing 7 british lions, liam williams jon davies biggar rhys webb faletau warburton lydiate and hal amos , thats got to hurt a small nation

British Lion Amos.

Wasn't Amos and Liam Williams released so not really missing, thats a Gatland call.

You're not missing Amos as you have the World class Stef Evans in his place?

Lydiate isn't as good as your current back row.

I thought Patchell was the best FH in the NH?
