vinnyt77 We were shocking for most of the second half. Fuckin terrible reffing too, they shouldn’t of had their man sent off in the last ten for the ‘tackle in the air’, he clearly went for the catch and just ended up entangled. The not rolling away rule is becoming a nonsense, Scotland got fucked by it earlier, ruining the game for me at the moment.

    Agree about the rolling away/ clearing our rules. They need a major rework.

    For me, Kolisi deserved a yellow. Don’t think he’s a dirty player, but he misjudged his jump, and tackled the man in the air. Was never gonna get anywhere near the ball. The take out in the air just at the final whistle was worse in a lot of ways, as it looked deliberate, and vindictive…

    Massively rode our luck. Saffers should have been home and dry during the first 15min of the second half. Surprised they missed so many pens. That said, testament to our attitude we hung on in there and it reaped dividends. Always thought we could break their line as not the quickest set of centers . Lots of handbags too, which I love .

    Quality game of egg chasing

    The Six Nations has been a weird comp so far this year. The quality being a bit low, and the reffing being appalling. Scotland just got boned by an average to bad Welsh side and a shit ref today.

        anyone else on that matchpint predictors thing? you win pints of guiness if you guess the scores correctly (ballpark obvs, not absolute accuracy required). My predictions this week are:

        Wales v France tonight: France by 12
        Italy v Scotland tomorrow: Scotland v 18
        England v Ireland tomorrow: England v 4

        the last one is the trickiest one to call, head says ireland by at least as much but against my better judgement I’ve gone for an emotional home victory in front of the Thickers crowd

          Mick_Morgan I’m going the match tomorrow and I’m going to drink loads of Guinness, I hope that helps

                  Agreed. Everyone has been a bit shit so far, which makes it tricky in the worst way. Hard to think a team beaten by Scotland is gonna beat Ireland though.

                    Amps I won’t be caught dead in Tesco with all the pond scum !

                        Heno You’re missing out, it’s the red trousered gout owners club for as far as the eye can see. Bell whiffs in Range Rovers quaffing champers left right and centre.

                            Amps I’m going fully dressed as a leprechaun, I hope they are ready for me

                                Spirited 1st half by the Wellish. Pleasantly surprised. They keep letting France off the hook though which may be their undoing

                                Wales v France game was power. Watching Wales just run out of ideas against that French defence was odd, proper Sunday league stuff.
