Ireland Vs Italy already started and Ireland 10-0 up already after 20mins. Playing well again this year

 

[spurs mental]

Just started the same thread. :lol:

Started well, good try from Heaslip. Would like to put a bit score up today, because France next week is going to be so difficult.

 

[chrissivad]

Im surprised there wasn't one before our threads ether :lol:

Depends on what French team turn up. Its the same with England, these two teams have a bigger cycle than any of the other 6 nations.

Ireald more often than not are towards the top, Walse have pushed on over the last few years and are now towards the top as well. Scotland haven't done so well and now challenge Italy for the wooden spoon.

Garcia sin binned

 

[chrissivad]

Well done Italy!

23-8
Italy's first try of the campaign

 

[spurs mental]

Sloppy from Kearney there at the end. Although he has hardly put a foot wrong since the Lions tour, so I suppose it's allowed.

What's happened to England's kit. It's an off white (almost cream) with no sponsor on it, and dark socks (blue or black) when they could be red...

 

[chrissivad]

someone not using Daz!

Socks should be white, looks like a retro kit, some special even today?

 

[chrissivad]

100th International of England Vs Walses so its the first kit they had against them

 

[KentuckyYid]

It must be some retro special as there isn't even a brand name on it.

 

[KentuckyYid]

It's a pity Wales didn't do the same.

Go on Wilko, first points on the board

 

[chrissivad]

England have looked quite good so far.

Harsh pen against England there!

Wasn't the 100th game between England and Wales, it was Twickenham's 100th anniversary. The England kit is a replica of the kit worn in the first ever game, which was also v Wales.

England were good, took full advantage of the Welsh sin bin and if we can punish Ireland and France for their sin bins in the same way this could be a good tournament for us.

France just scored a try but no conversion, 3-5.

 

[werty]

The guy who scored the try for France is Gallas' cousin.

 

[Marty]

Oooo, Scots very unlucky not to get a try there.

 

[chrissivad]

Scotland have done ok so far.

Still a few mistakes that France are picking up on, but holding their own just now

 

[Marty]

The difference in class is pretty obvious unfortunately. France are so much better than Scotland.

 

[chrissivad]

agree, Scotland just causing them selfs too much pressure.

Good result against Wales yesterday, but ultimately England are a long way off genuinely competing against Ireland and the southern hemisphere nations. Too many silly errors and not enough empahasis on getting quick ball from the breakdown will cost England during this tournament.

Armitage looked way off the pace yesterday and could have done with a couple of games in the Saxon side to regain match sharpness.

I'd like to see Foden and Ashton start against Italy in Rome. England really need Cipriani to regain form because Wilkinson is unable to organise the back line.

 

[werty]

Scotland ahead against Wales Eek.

7-0

 

[Marty]

Terrible try for Wales to concede, their number 13 had his arms wrapped around the Scot and still failed to make the tackle. And there were two other Welshies around who should've also done better. Very poor.

But makes the game more interesting :grin:
