Goodness me - a wee bit of a storm in a tea cup. According to McGeehan he wasnt there for long and didnt take any drink. I'd say a wee bit over the top.

Guinness in the fridge - pizzas at the ready and Staurday is booked in front of the TV. Looking good. Bring on the Welsh - Beer [B]Big Smile [:D]Beer [B]Big Smile [:D]

I've noticed that there no new post regarding this afternoons games. Is it because they were two of the most dreary games I  have ever been unfortunate to watch? Discuss

I was happy to see Wales win, if only just. During the match we commented on its level of "boredom", little did we know that the England - Scotland game would seriously define "boredom".
Never have I seen such a scrappy, boreing and basically rubbish match. Scotland deserved to win only because England deserved to lose, the England performance was absolutely appalling, Scotland were "less" appalling.
Basically we wasted 160mins of our weekend.

Well done Wales.

I think the England game gave a new, higher, meaning to boring. Scotland were no good but England...... well what can you say. Should JW go, I have thought so since the world cup (as I have said before many times - nothing personal, he's just not that good). When he is good he is magnificent, the problem is that he is so inconsistent and his bad far out ways his good. No effort was made by him to place the ball in any useful position. It was like watching beginners school rugby. Some may argue he played badly because he never got the ball, I disagree. The only good thing that may come out of this it that Ashton may go although he seems to be rather adept at hanging on by his teeth. I rather hope he takes Rob Andrews with him. Thought our backs were good. Scotland may well be happy with the result but they should dwell on the fact they were playing a third (or more) rate team. England - A national disgrace.

The 6Ns is just a nationalistic orgy and, like the world cup, doesn't necessarily showcase "good" rugby.

As we've already said on this thread, if you want to see exciting games watch the Heineken cup NOT the 6Ns. Big Smile [:D]

Having said that, surely it's time to Get Rid Of Ashton?

edit: ha! i've just read this in the Times
   "
Frankly Brian Ashton was caught in the same headlights. For him to leave Wilkinson on for 70 minutes and Lesley Vainikolo on for the whole match suggests that he is struggling to become the hard man he would like to be. His choice of Wilkinson and Toby Flood in midfield has been ridiculous for a long time, and he has left Sackey totally bereft of allies in the back three."

Yes it was most uninspiring. And even from a female point of view, I think Ashton is dozey (page 1 of this thread.)  As for exciting matches, dare I mention Rugby League? We watch a lot as husband lived in Hull most of his life and played for one of the teams for a while. We lived near the old Hull FC pitch at the Boulevard.

Agree with everything said about yesterday's 2 matches.  England were simply awful, in one of the worst Internationals I've ever seen.  The forwards must have neckache today from watching the ball go back and forth over their heads - at one stage, they weren't even bothering to move.
