[Manc]

Borthwick has to go.

[Lewis]

He's about the last person to blame for that defeat. Ireland are better and have more good players than England, and his game plan nearly beat them.

[Manc]

Did you see the line-outs?

[niko_cee]

Think I might have had my sporting moment of the week watching the England v France under 20s.

England player moaning to the ref about someone being off their feet [having already been given a penalty], ref calls over the captain and says this can't continue, captain very audibly on the mic announces stop the fucking chat to the rest of the team, commentary team giggling away to themselves.

[Manc]

This game is a mess.

[Waffdon]

Marcus smith :lol:

[Luke Emia]

I don’t watch huge amounts of rugby anymore. But, from what I’ve watched of this can I assume you can just play forward passes now? When did they change the rules?

[Waffdon]

About 3 forward passes in that France try there. Standard with rugby

[Spikey M]

Lol @ France

[Waffdon]

Perfect result after Scotland batter Giggles and Co tomorrow.

:cool:

[Giggles]

Don't lump me in with those proddy cunts. I hope Scotland hammer them.

[Waffdon]

Scotland red card all over this.

[Waffdon]

The most obvious forward pass you’ll ever see in the build up to all them penalties and resulting try. Referees are utter wank

Yellow card for that. :lol:

[Waffdon]

Scotland going for a 6-2 split on the bench and 2 of their backs have just smashed into each other head on after 20 mins. Could be a loooooong game

[Spikey M]

Perfect result after Scotland batter Giggles and Co tomorrow.

:cool:

:console:

[Spikey M]

Don't lump me in with those proddy cunts. I hope Scotland hammer them.

Proddy cunts? They're the Irish / Bottom Irish team, right?

[Giggles]

Proddy cunts? They're the Irish / Bottom Irish team, right?

We have a term here 'West Brits' to describe people from the affluent parts of Dublin. And, apart from the loyalist northerners, almost anyone who plays this sport is one of those private schoolers. The event junkie fad will end everywhere else when they're shit again.

Plus, no team that includes NI is a proper national team - appeasing them with anthems and all. If the soccer ever joins up they can fuck off too.

[Waffdon]

Gregor Townsend hasn’t half sailed with Scotland’s best crop of players in decades

[Lewis]

I don't think I've seen a 0-0. A 1-0 would have been spectacular.

[Giggles]

God I hope Wales smash them so I can tune in to these smug bastards afterwards.

[Waffdon]

More chance of Leicester winning the league again. Wales’ drop off has been spectacular.

Will still win a 6 nations before Scotland mind

[Manc]

I'll take that bet.

[Waffdon]

Minimum £10 bet.

[Manc]

Name your price.

[Giggles]

Ladsz lob in a couple of hundred and not be such bitches. It's not like either will collect anyway.

[Waffdon]

Name your price.

Give you 30/1 coz I’m buying a house in two weeks :lol:

[Waffdon]

Should have taken it :D

[Waffdon]

Genuinely no idea how Scotland have failed to win that game. VDM could have definitely got closer to the sticks with that try at the end as well.

Townsend needs to go. The only things he was useful at was beating England. He’s completely failed overall with the most talented in generations

[Manc]

:rasta:

[Waffdon]

Scoring 3 tries to 1 and failing to win is just an utter embarrassment, let’s be honest

[Lewis]

It's hard to say whether Jonny Lomax is done or just not a seven, but Paul Wellens will be canned the minute an NRL coach becomes available.

Hull KR. :cool:

[Manc]

Bottom Ireland. :harold:

[Disco]

It's rare to enjoy France winning but this is one of those days.

[Giggles]

Bottom Ireland. :harold:

If only.

[John Arne]

Not watched rugby union for a while, so surprised to see that forward passes are now allowed.

[Waffdon]

I hadn’t realised England could actually win this. It would mean Scotland winning so won’t happen but genuinely forgot they beat France. Weren’t far off beating Ireland as well.

Fawk sake

[Manc]

It's coming home.

[Waffdon]

They might upgrade that to a red. If France throw this away…

[niko_cee]

Of course they won't [and haven't] even though they probably should have.

That French try looked a classic forward pass hand off type thing, but obviously there were no replays.

[Waffdon]

Why are these fuckers playing their best rugby in donkeys

[niko_cee]

:lol:

Just don't bother with the second half.

[Waffdon]

France can count themselves v lucky with the non red and then that disallowed try at the end. Must have only just been in touch and no more

[niko_cee]

It's funny that lashing out at someone / retaliating violently is judged less severely than 'a rugby incident'.

[Waffdon]

I still can’t tell if he falls into him or actually goes to tackle him which causes the head butt

Kinghorn being in touch there wasn’t very definitive, was it? The touchline ref literally waves ‘no’ in real time as well

[Waffdon]

The English referee doing his best to help France here wasn’t something I expected at the start of the game.

Driving mauls need banned in rugby. Utterly boring

[Waffdon]

Finn Russell and this referee were never going to let England win this 6 Nations. :D

[Manc]

Vive la France.
