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

[Fuzzy du Plessis]

**** me the timing of the pass from Brown to Watson was even worse than I remember. It's a good job he's some kind of rugby tactical genius and anticipated Williams' stumble.

My 5 of the best against england would include the dejection and the shell shocked faces of the england players and the coaches when Wales denied them the grand slam that time. Priceless! Details escape me i'm on a train but you'll all know which one I'm talking about.

I think I know the one... the one where jiffy couldn't wipe the smile off his face? It's nice to look at history.

Didn't we win that Six Nations anyway?

Highlight of Jiffy's career: Beating England but still losing the tournament.
Highlight of Sir Clive's: Winning a world cup
Highlight of Guscott's: Kicking the DG to win a lions tour

Nah, we lost it because we got mauled.

Haha so we did, I was thinking of the missed Grandslam vs Ireland in 2011(?)

**** me, I didn't realise it was 2013. And the welsh have the cheek to say England live in the past when they bring that scoreline up 10+ times a day

 

[truthteller]

I just can't decide between the 30-3 demolishing or knocking England out their own World Cup at the group stage with a make shift team

yeah tough choices, denying them the slam at wembley was fun too as was the 2012 smash and grab on the way to our 11th grand slam lol
if you want to travel further 30 years undefeated to england at cardiff was funny, jpr williams never lost a match to england and scored tries in 6 consecutive matches, the english used to call him arrogant lol then theyd name their babies after him like joe (jpr) worsley lol JPR and barry john used to prepare to play england in cardiff by sunbathing on aberavon beach and eating a strawberry cornetto lol

DON'T TALK ABOUT THE WORLD CUP

But lets all get out our winkles and have a good old rub over stuff that happened 30 years ago

I don't know wherever to laugh or not. "remember that time we beat them to win our 11th slam hahaha" odd to brag about the amount of slams when the team your trying to throw banter at have more then that.

Ha ha, well this is true and this thread in places has been one massive history lesson - early days of the world cup, etc etc. I mean I could go back, to the 70s, but, nah!

You don't need to, your fellow countryman is doing that on your behalf.

I just thought, if you can't beat 'em join 'em! For me, truth be told, a team is only as good as their last game - and this time tomorrow night we will all be older and wiser!

 

[ThebigARena]

Not a good night for our U20s they have capitulated . That itoyje bloke is like a fully grown beast . Hope it's not a sign of things tomorrow lol!!

Nah this is a good omen for us. This will lull the english big boys into a false sense of security - and then we will pounce!

Might aswell it was the last time welsh rugby was relevant on the world stage....

You could well be setting yourself up for, whats the word I'm looking for, DELICIOUS fall. I repeat, you're only as good as your last game!

Hey your the one who said this thread was quiet.

 

[The5thOfficial]

Hmmmmm - I didn't think I would have to qualify my statement any further, but I guess allowances have to be made. By last game, I don't mean last game against each other, I mean last game, full stop. Now this time tomorrow, the Eng Wal game is the last game. But who comes out on top, is to be revealed.
