Second half not as enjoyable.

Big call.

Want to kick for the corner here

England have been excellent in the 2nd half. +4 was printing money

Not bad for the Saxons there

I don't really follow much rugby but that was a good game. England NO.1 obv. Lol Wales.

Da Even money

Exceptional England performance, especially after spotting Wales a 10 point lead!

Looking forward to the matches tomorrow.

Wrote a big post about Wales' embarrassing effort in the rucks, no WIM, and the trololol strat of box kick or up and under within 4 phases of every possession, taking their own crowd out of the game, but i lost it, so ill tl'dr it

lol Wales' embarrassing effort in the rucks, no WIM, and the trololol strat of box kick or up and under within 4 phases of every possession taking their own crowd out of the game.

The loud Sweet Chariot rendition when England were still losing was fitting at how well Wales had put their crowd to sleep with their abysmal effort to try and win the game

Anthems I got:

Scotland
France

Wales (still elite)


Ireland
Italy





Huge gap





England

Hey guys I don't want to get spoiled on ENG vs WAL (want to watch re-live), but need to know the fixtures and times today, can someone quote me with that info only pls?

italy - ireland 1430 uk 1530 cet
france - scotland 1700 uk 1800 cet

Ireland will get it tough today, I mean they should win but I don't think it will by a huge margin. Big game for Keatley ahead of Madigan at 10 although Sexton has been passed fit for next week which is excellent news. Sean O'Brien back as well, dude is an animal!

Ty

Great 2nd half by the English, still think they're the biggest threat to NZ at the RWC. I think NZ will be too much at a neutral venue for South Africa

Bagpipes though. That really flat note on the 'think' of 'to think again' drives me to distraction. Also, bagpipes.

Italy hugely underrated in that list.

Italy
France
Wales
Ireland
England
Scotland (5th if no bagpipes when playing away)

for me.

lol, Bagpipes are awesome - when played correctly.

And by correctly I presume you mean far enough away that you can't hear them

Wait, which Irish anthem are you talking about?

The real Irish anthem (Amhrán na bhFiann) is good.

The Rugby anthem is pathetic.

---

Ireland are actually gonna win the WC cause Joe is a genius.

ha they aren't that bad!



Stuff like that is brilliant.

wonder what price you'd have got for scotland to score more tries than france

I mean Amhran Na Bhfiann obviously. Massive lol @ Ireland's call.

The good French side looks to have turned up today.
