Scotland teeing up ruining my day

[Buzzo]

Absolute dog**** from scotland first half. Wales playing well.

[Sus]

**** me Scotland are ****ting the bed here.

All they have to do is beat a super poor Wales to have an incredible showdown in Edinburgh on March 7 (when I’ll be in town! Won’t someone think of me?) but they have been absolute garbage

[Sus]

Although now they are back in it with that excellent, slightly lucky try

[Sus]

Yes! Scotland win!! Now the France game will be epic

[Buzzo]

That was ****ing exhausting to watch.

Wales very good today. We got a bit lucky - but I’ll take it!

6 Nations innit, genuinely the best competition in the world

6 Nations innit, genuinely the best competition in the world

No easy games (except maybe England )

Matt Dawson wrote an article on how a Grand Slam should be a stepping stone on the way to a World Cup win. When will they learn? The away game in Paris mentioned as a slam decider pre tournament. I don’t think any other media does that. 6 nations is really really tough..

Of there is a centre to the universe it revolves around the England Rugby team.

I had a mate who is English say he reckons all teams put in an extra 10% when they are playing England. You never beat them, you only ever score more points than them.

Any tips for where to watch the Scotland France game in Edinburgh? I get in mid morning so can be at the right pub by midday.

I imagine they get pretty rammed on a match day like France

[Buzzo]

Yeah will definitely be rammed.

Though some will have folk heading off to Murrayfield.

Try the Ghillie Dhu - west end of Princes St so on the Tram Route. Think they will have big screen options as well as in bar (but likely to be rammed) if not then try along Rose St until you find somewhere with space!

Ooh thanks for the tips Buzzo

England have absolutely butchered their team for Italy. Very brave. Whilst changes were clearly needed changing basically the backs almost entirely (only Freeman remains and he moves from wing to centre) means they will have no coherency.

I fancy Italy for this one. They will smell blood.

Man I hope so, will be a shot in the arm for both Italian rugby and the tournament (not that the tournament really needs it)

Been mainly focusing in this as footy is abysmal as usual.

Wales making it interesting just before HT 12-10
