Not just because they were good one night, or even season. | |||

It does seem like there's been an increase in being pulled up for standing up in the scrum though." fair point... something brian moore said strikes me as well hookers have forgotten, or just don't know, how to hook..... so in the scrums it's either just fed not straight... or it just becomes a big shoving contest..... anyway ireland have brought back in the big guns for the france game.... sexton, o'brien and heaslip are all back in.. as well as rory best and cian healy is on the bench.... if ireland can have everyone fit for the world cup... i think they will be the dark horse... england unchanged for the italy game and because it made some people laugh (thanks for the pm's i got) and it right at the end of the last thread.... i'll repeat my rant about "chunkies" the only thing i am not a fan of is "chunkies" in the back line....... fat blokes playing 12 i can cope with..... but italy had one playing at 10... and france have them playing at 13 and 15..... unless you are a 17st maori you are allowed to play wing... but otherwise this is not allowed!!! | |||

"I'm getting increasingly frustrated about the use and practise of scrums, the rules need a massive overhaul. Scrums used to be a contest and a way of restarting play, now they're a prelude to a penalty" i can't remember the refs name (it was the saxons vs wolfhounds game) the way he dealt with it was to penalise the 1st crooked feed into the scrum and warn the fly halves every time they do it... penalty after that they all went in straight... thats when you notice hookers don't hook anymore and it became a shoving contest..... hookers need to be taught how to "hook".... it was a art funny enough........ | |||

Hookers the won't hook and props that don't prop, when I used to play the scrum was a legitimate restarting process, a way for your pack to deliver possession Its good that the ref did that but when its a problem internationally it needs more than just a firm hand | |||

"i am another who has a sneeky feeling the scots will beat the welsh today......... " It would be nice for Scotland to win... They've not been great for the last few years, so a nice win would be cool. | |||

" wingers only ever look good in first class teams. a good number 8 will show up, even when their team is getting thumped. the coaches must see the quality in their club matches (which, to be honest, I don't follow anymore) | |||

Who would you pick instead of may?" marlon yarde, christian wade... i wish england would relent on the armitage issue (theres is a case where the kids were brought up in france... so playing there makes sense) cause then delon and mike brown are then interchangable... one on the wing, one at full back | |||

"I don't even wanna watch the 6 nations anymore, so shit to lose the first game especially that one! Have a feeling Wales will finish 5th this year!" I'm not watching because the current game has degenerated into such a dull, lifeless grind with an almost total absence of skill or flair. The England Wales match was 27 minutes old before a move developed with more than 3 completed passes. Agnes now consist of dig ball out of tangle, one pass, three steps forward, fall over, tangle, dig ball out of tangle.....etc...etc... Interspersed with realising you have made no ground so either manufacture a penalty or kick it to the other team so they can repeat the above steps. I watched the England Wales game in the pub....all agreed it was total crap...with Wales throwing it away in second half by managing to be more crap than England. Half of us ended up watching the empty parts of the field.....some of the grass was growing and certainly more entertaining than the dirge that passed as a game. | |||

Bill Beaumont ffs. it's come a way since then | |||

"wales to score a try within 7 mins of the re start " Quite the opposite, Scotland will have the extra man for 5 mins. | |||

" They are rugby players they can take it! Rougher the better i say" I just think it's a little unfair to gain a penalty by jumping on to someone else.... Knowing that the tackler must get out of your way is a big advantage... | |||

" They are rugby players they can take it! Rougher the better i say I just think it's a little unfair to gain a penalty by jumping on to someone else.... Knowing that the tackler must get out of your way is a big advantage..." Both of the catching jumpers got there first & had their eyes on the ball, - if your not getting there in time, you're not allowed to challenge the guy in the air, - much better to check your run then hit him hard the split second that his feet touch the ground. | |||

"good game... not happy with the way that last 10 minutes was refereed... if that is a high tackle knock on... the welsh player should have been sin binned and for the last 8 the welsh should have been down to 14 men..... " Agreed The Welsh have a habit of being able to manage the referee in the closing moments of the game | |||

And also when awarded a penalty - being able to execute and make the most of it (Russels kick - not making touch in the last quarter being one example) | |||

"off to the bookies , not a bad weekend , had a tenner on each of the 6 nations games , got 3 winners , picked a couple of winners on the footie as well , not bad weekend at all , predictions for next weekend wales to win against france italy to win against scotland us to win against ireland " Ha, your predictions are flawed, - my predictions are three goalless draws - because there are no games next weekend!! In which case, Ireland to beat England the following weekend!! | |||
