I think Lancaster and co have made their first really mistakes here. God only knows why they took Burrel off
Are some wishes about to happen????nigel could have made some welsh watchers very happy then!!!!!
Farrell again. Dirty gouger.
Farrell really is a nasty little shit.
Not sure that was just a pen, either he's going to get a red soon or someone is going to give him a padting.
Too many changes blew our chances there....
Just because you've got a bench of players, does not mean you have to use them all!
Ah yes, the petulant one strikes again, why couldn't he have gone off and 36 stayed. Agreed about burrell.
Thank heavens that didn't choose to kick it out.
Edit: ford already preferred to farrell 🙂
Still not a bad championship for a growing team....appropriate finish for Robshaw to score. Time for a dog walk now before the big one 😉
Well played england, Italy very poor. Nowel still needs a hair cut!
Lancaster must be thinking, who is this bloody dolly! "Clive" sums her up. P45 time for her.
England never looked like losing and certainly approached the game in the right way. The way the game ended up like 7's most of the time and became scrappy was due to the nature of what was at stake I suppose.
I wish there was less one eyed commentary- Moody was the only one with more balanced opinions and not referring to Eng as "we" all the time. A team that is butchering chances left right and centre, getting dominated in the scrum and so on is not "magnificent" and all the other over optimistic words Robinson and Woodward were trotting out. Yes England did well but they didn't play brilliantly at all and there's a lot of scope for improvement. When things are going their way England look good. When things start to go against them they've looked more venerable rather than staying calm and in control as you'd expect from SA or NZ for example.
Still not a bad championship for a growing team
Appropriate sum up. Wish England had more experience on the bench though and more class behind the strong starting 15.
Here's hoping for a blue rest of the afternoon 😈
Oh well, bring on the cripple fight!
Yellow turns to red!
Not sure thats allowed ref...oh well game over..
He was lucky to get away with the elbow to williams at the try.
Boof, get off ya dirty get Hogg!
If you can do that then surely that means any decision can be reviewed after seeing things on the big screen? Can only be an invitation to argue with the ref. Not convinced the ref can do that. Duckman?
Good kick though!
P.S. Amazed that Farrel got away with swearing at the ref a few times towards the end of the Eng game
Although not allowed, does it mean the game will now be a true reflection rather than a subsequent citing?
Yay, first eve double post....i've made the big time 😀
Correct decision by the referee eventually dont know what Hogg was thinking but he has left his team in the lurch
It's always going to be an issue have replays shown to the crowd/ref. even if he didn't send him off does it affect his decision making later on to try and even things up.
Just have the replays for the tv audience and tmo i reckon.
As cheap shots go, that is premier league. Biggar did well to get up from that. Shame that Priestland is not playing as it would have been him on the end of that instead(!)
Does the pitch seem a bit poor or is it just me? Seems like quite a few slips with the turf stripping? Not as bad as Murrayfield mind!
This could get embarrassing for Scotland.
The ref can use video to review play before decision, inc foul play. I think officially they ask fourth official to do it, but they usually make their own mind up after seeing it. There have been a few examples of refs doing this in this year's 6Ns. Also, ref has much more flexibility in RU to make decisions, than in eg football.
olddog true but he should have looked at it first
#prayforTJ
AA - true, but maybe it's better to get to get the right decision? Ruined the game completely though.
I don't even have a beer to help me through this.
DD! You're a bad man!
I still miss TJ.
Liam Williams is having a hell of a game.
ah well at least the fans are good....sore head tomorrow though 🙂
Dull as ****!
Stag & Hen dos are enjoying the entertainment. 😀
Who's that strange dude who just set up the try and scored the conversion? Don't recognise him 😆
Just got in - missed much?!? The guy I feel sorry for is Denton. worked his socks off all champs for Nowt.
MoM should have been Andy Nicoll for another glass half full performance. A comedy legend!!!!
Hook is some sort of magician.
Well played Wales. Thank god the Johnson coach era is over time for major changes throughout Scottish rugby.
Who's that strange dude who just set up the try and scored the conversion? Don't recognise him
He does add an extra ball player which Wales need with their big backs. He brings a nice balance. Having said that in a tight gamw I'd want 1/2p at rhe back.
Let's hope for a better game now
Great win not brilliant because of Hoggs idiocy.
Don't despair Scotland in the late 90's Wales were getting hammered by everyone, english pundits were saying things like " is it worth playing Wales" or "how long before we put 100 points on Wales. Well the last game at Wembley changed that and I am sure Scotland can come back as well.
Aux armes, citoyens
Formez vos bataillons
Allez les blues!!!!
Let's hope for a better game now
indeed two dull games so far
I'll allow BOD a try in his final game
But
ALLEZ LES BLUES
They're generally good games if Ireland go with a performing side. The results don't go the green machine's way normally, but it should be a good game for the neutral. I can't watch. 😐
Can you plastiques get your spelling right. S'il vous plaît! 🙂
England played well, starting to see the backs worKing properly and good to see Tuilangi backhoe had a nice cameo. Farrell should have been sent off, compare that to Hodge who got a red.
Looking forward to France Ireland, hopefully it's a cracker.teams just walki gout now 🙂
Teams out together. Unusual.
I wonder where the trophy is. 😕
Speaking of "together standing tall"...the size of Toner!! 😯
Such a brilliant anthem
Here we go
Oh **** it. I've just realised Walsh is refereeing.
Missed the Eng-Ita game.
Wal - Sco a bit one-sided.
Hoping this one is a bit more of a contest.
France due a good game...
Bollocks Henry didn't even make the tackle
So it's not just England that Walsh hates!!!! Not sure that was a pen. 😉
Hate that I want BOD to lose his last game. 🙁
Walsh is just rubbish, like Wayne "ooh I'm on telly" Barnes.
[i]Farrell should have been sent off, compare that to Hodge who got a red.[/i]
Yeah, I've compared the two: Totally different 🙄
BOD looked close to tears, not a great start trying to tackle Basternaud round the shoulders either.
Yeah, I've compared the two: Totally different
Both equally premeditated, Farrell pulled the Italian guy away by his neck/head them with a second deliberate movement slammed his head into the turf. Hodge made a deliberate jump should first no hands. Both should have been a yellow card.
Anyway great start to France Ireland game, it's clear the motivated French team have turned up today. BOD is certainly in the thick of things.
Has Walsh ever rffed a game where the scrum wasn't a total mess? He never seems to let the game flow at all. And he's a ****in monumental **** too.
Get in!!
For a mid weight that was some finish
Terrible kick. Gah. 😐
worse catch
Believe DD!!!
Lovely stuff from Murray there.
Bloody Heaslip. He looks around for the most troublesome spot and heads for it.
Oh bollocks.
Glorious inventive play!
Great try!
Get on with it you turd!
I think that was a lucky penalty tbf.
Jesus wept.
😯
