Rugby 6 Nations 2024

Been waiting for France to turn up, and unlucky 8/9 kicks, Wales battered, someone was going to run into that France eventually.

I get that but I wasn’t having a go anyway, I’d have agreed with you.

It was more me just expressing surprise at how good, and different compared to normal, England were today. Hopefully we can see a bit more of that going forward cause I thought they were exceptional.

Ya Ireland were most definitely like a rabbit caught in headlights with the intensity from England from the off. They did their homework, had a great gameplay and executed it. They deserved the win

I ran a pub on Church st in Twickenham called The Fox. One thing I will say is that the English rugby union is fan is an abomination...I want them to be no more.

Carry on

Haha no way, love that place! Shame it's so small and the beer prices are ridiculous now. About £7/8 a pint!

Which essentially all means that Ireland would have to soil their pants on a grand scale to not win the title

Well thats what we're all hoping over here but as England showed last weekend, there are weaknesses to be exploited and Scotland have the quality to do so if they get there game up and running quickly.

I see what's you're saying, Ireland have really bossed these games over the last 14 years [winning 13 of them and the last 9 in a row]
winning sequences can and always are broken eventually but a draw or a loss and Ireland may still win the trophy

Ed sheeran has a big following,means nothing. Would rather be a 'smaller' sport with a higher skill level that never grows if it means being a fat tory waddle about decided by free kicks
.

"Higher skill level".... Five crash balls to first receiver, kick away, repeat.

Tackling at nose height.

Enjoy the sherry, Grandad

The decision by Murray to box kick straight out with 90 seconds to go was a truly baffling decision. Like a proper Everton example of game management

After all the hard work Ireland did to get back into the game as well. Infuriating, and very out of character for Murray who is usually so tactically astute.

England delivered on all the promise they showed in their previous game. Excellent work by the forwards in disrupting Ireland's lineout and slowing the ruck speed right down, thereby stifling Ireland's attack.

Anyone with the time spare should watch Squidge Rugby's excellent analysis of the match on YouTube: both teams played well, but England edged it by winning the physical collisions and working harder off the ball.
