Italy are only in it for the other teams to get a bonus point. I feel sorry for them getting thrashed every game, every year. Nice start for Wales and Ireland though. I'd be happy to kick the French out as well and return it to the 4 nations .......... there's some good old fashioned rivalry in these little countries Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Meece 1,957 Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 19 minutes ago, socks said: Italy ... a six nations game that is ..... I think that you are mistaken. . According to Wikipedia. ... Italy has not won a Six Nations match since their 22–19 away win against Scotland in Round 3 of the 2015 tournament, losing every game since; this equates to a losing run of 22 matches.........https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italy_national_rugby_union_team I did think that they had beaten the frogs and Scotland.

They have got 4 more matches yet. Possible but highly unlikely. The fat lady ain't sung yet. According to that post about 22lr the other day their selling 22lr ammo that is going to take rabbit at 300 yards so there is hope. Did I say that I thought that I was the pope and a space man on Wednesday? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil82 1,006 Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 Italy are only there to provide another opportunity to sell match tickets, no other reason, France had a tenuous link through Brittany and the celtic link to Britain, all this talk of introducing other countries into the tournament just wipes out history of the competition and turns it into just another league, there are enough now, no need for another 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jok 3,035 Posted February 2, 2020 Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 Well. Being a sweaty, I can only speak as I saw. The French came out with only one thing in mind and without a doubt that was aggression. The English came out with one thing in mind and that was that they could not possibly lose . Handling in the middle of the park was, to be frank, abissmal. The French tries were crisp and by and large unchallenged. Mr Jones may need tae think again. IMO.

walshie 2,804 Posted February 2, 2020 Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 My technical analysis is England played like a bunch of mongs who couldn't hold onto a ball if you put it in their hand, let alone catch one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jok 3,035 Posted February 2, 2020 Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 Well Walshie. I was trying to be kind, but that pretty much summed up what happened today. The French were absolutely all over every aspect of the game and I've never seen England closed down so easily. They played like winners which I'm taking to the bookies in the morning. Our lads, however, possibly need some divine intervention. JMO. JOK. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
