  1. These are the days it's all about GT. Who wants games without jeopardy. Buckle in, pour yourself a dram and HODL.
  2. KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
  3. Him too. No wonder @one_chop was pleased with the Wildsmith withdrawal.
  4. Sad to see it, but I'm not sure I've seen a worse Wales side. A lucky bounce gives the scoreline some air of respectability, but in truth, it's undeserved as they've been 2nd best for all bar the last 10 minutes. Italy tired late on but have been excellent again today and 11 points is some haul for them and nothing less than they deserved. Brilliant from them. A last thought for George North who seemes to have done his ACL in what it his last game. Horrible luck for one of the game's true greats, I can only hope he mends quickly and has the retirement his efforts warrant.
  5. I'm calm pal, it's you wetting the bed as always.
  6. When will out luck change. We just seem cursed. Praying Gayle is not badly injured.
  7. Might have started Korey Smith, but otherwise I think with those missing, this is as good a side as we can put out. Big ask of Fozzy, who will surely not be fully sharp and fit, but I still think we can do this. COYR
  8. I guess in fairness to Borth, the RWC was maybe not the place to be blooding young players, but I'd have loved to see Cadan Murley or his ilk given a start. Daly does bring a strong kicking game though so we'll see. Enjoy the games in any case mate.
  9. What's this about RAW? They were drawing and had just conceded a pen. You'd need Snow White levels of sleep for that mate 😋 Safe journey to and fro buddy. Hopefully you'll be grinning to yourself all the way home.
  10. That's how the bookies see it too. Bit gutted as I got offered a ticket for the England - France game but have damaged myself and am laid up, as much through stupidity as hard luck. Sent my lad over instead, so my loss is his gain As for the games, I think they are hard to call. I'd expect a wounded Irish team to be very hard to beat, but the other two games I think will swing on individual errors, or moments of excellence. Hopefully more of the latter! Wales actually looked decent for 50 mins against the French, but once headed, the game was over. I think the scoreline flattered the French somewhat as the Welsh pack ended up conceding 90Kg+ and simply could not compete in the set piece, or the loose, but in fairness to the French, they looked a much improved side with Le Garrec at 9. The Welsh will likely find the Italians a less formidable challenge and I would perhaps favour them solely on the basis of home field advantage. Your chaps will be desperate to put a show on in Dublin, but I think they will face a fired up Irish side and will need to be at their very best for the full 80 to have any chance. England I feel will struggle against a huge French pack and with Daly on the wing, perhaps will be less open to throwing the ball wide, so I'm looking for them to at least compete. Feyi-Waboso is a huge loss though so I'm expecting the worst and hoping for the best! Enough of my waffle, enjoy the games lads. May the best teams win.
  11. Belter huh! At half time I was swearing at the telly. At full time i was somewhat moist 😂 Most of the French lads are playing top 14 rugby too, around 270 caps between them, versus about 30 for their English counterparts and initially, it showed, but boy did they knuckle down. Posolo Tuilagi has already had caps for the senior men's team, which tells how seriously the French where taking it in front of a partisan, but good natured crowd. A wonderful advert for the game, not forgetting a very talented young Irish side who snatched a draw against us in the previous round to deny us the slam. I'd say the future of the 6N is looking mighty tasty.
  12. Perhaps they could perform the same op for the judges this time too?
  13. They get way more praise than pelters mate! Loads on here, myself included, have talked about how good we've been most recently, home and away.
  14. Don't forget your FRGS mate 🧐 You too @minesahartington
