Title: Anyone else...
Post by: BazaJT on 07 February 2021, 19:26:24
...watched the opening matches of the six nations tournament? France showed some of their old flair against an admittedly relatively young and inexperienced Italian side.England managed to really mess up[far too many fouls] against a decent Scottish side in the 150th anniversary year of the Calcutta Cup.Wales v Ireland into a bit of a cliffhanger into extra time until it fizzled out with a poor kick.Most of the England team and a couple of the Scots team "took the knee" before the kick off but all took part in a round of clapping in memory of Sir Tom[and others].

France played well, but probably looked better than they were because of the shocking Italian side.

England certainly weren't at their best, and Scotland didn't look great either.

The Welsh and Irish are on fire.  Ireland would have won had they not lost a man.

Had it not been for the poor kick for touch at the end Ireland might still have won,so I'd have to agree that had they not been a man down they'd have taken the win.

Can’t say I was overwhelmed with our Welsh performance, as said It would have been far far closer if they weren’t a man down. Must say though he did deserve sending off. 17 stone at the end of a shoulder/elbow is very dangerous when it hits you in the swede.

100%.....  Going into a player on the ground with your elbow like that is never going to end well.  He's not a young'un either, so knew full-well what he was doing.
