Aye. I'm thinking more 35-6

I haven't watched any of this yet, I might watch Wales-England though, as my dad will be supporting Wales and I will be supporting England.

For some reason, he thinks he is Welsh, despite:

He was born in England
He has never lived in Wales
He can not speak Welsh

Surrender Monkeys 3 - 0 Sweaty Socks after 30 minutes.

Sounds like half the Welsh team . . .

23-15 - not as bad as feared. Was quite impressed with our defence aside from all the conceeded penalties. Fark, I'm a part-time rugby fan at best and I don't know half of our players! Shocked

It didn't help our cause getting players sinned-binned.

Well done Wales! The sin-binning was our own fault, I'm glad wales won.

by Basil on Sat 14 Feb 2009, 09:09

Wales were the better side and deserved to win - don't think you could ever pay enough to say I'm glad they won though Wink

I'm not a big follower of Rugby but I enjoyed watching that match. I think England did better than many thought they would.

We weren't disgraced that's for sure, but there's still a long way to go.

It was an awesome contest, England fought well, but need to sort out the discipline issues in the squad.

Sounds exactly like my old man, except substitute Wales for Scotland...and the fact that he tries to effect a rather embarrassing Scottish accent on occasions for some bizarre reason! Laughing

Certainly, though I felt they got the rough end of the stick from the referee throughout nevertheless.

Perhaps Martin Johnson's proclamations of their intended spoiling tactics in the media during the week backfired on him.

Disgusting high Tackle. Terrible lack of discipline by Italy so far.

by DJ_Smerk on Fri 27 Feb 2009, 17:22

Well there we have it. Grand Slam hopes dashed in Paris. Sad

I'm hoping for an Ireland win against England now.
