Rugby 2016 6N

[Welshbeef]

Looking forward to this 6N.

As it turns out I'm on the Sub bench for the Eng v Wales game (corporate box) 50:50 if it will happen as there are 2 possible places in the 12 person box, but if it does am I right in thinking formal dress code no replica tops ?

U20's games were on tonight

Italy V France (3-40)

Scotland V England (24-6)

Ireland v Wales (24-35)

Hope England fans don't believe in bad omens. Scotland U20's have never beaten England U20's before......

Beefy - wear what you like bud.

Great result for the U20s tonight, they smashed up the paddies and no mistake. Ireland squad is missing a few key players, we might be in with a shout on Sunday. Bring it on

I've never been to one of these before (have done at Silverstone classic etc).

What time do people usually get into the boxes?

[hornetrider]

Should say in the bumf. Depending on the box I think it can be a couple of hours early, I've been in the small ones (25 people I think) loads of times, and a big one once (guest speaker was Ieuan). Be careful, you might not remember the game or even be aware of the 2nd half

I've got to get the train back which is dangerous might end up in Swansea again to sleep in be station!

It's just occurred to me you are talking about HQ. Ignore me I was talking about the MS

Ah so the Mrs is right then!

Scotland haven't scored a try against England at murrayfield since 2008 apparently. I think they said on 5live this morning.

Looks like a classic windy wet grinding murrayfield battering today.

[Welshbeef]

Who will be the highest try scorer in the tournament? Or who will be in the top 5?

[Ian Lancs]

Are Italy playing well or France badly?

Italy seem to have lots of ideas unlike previous years. France just seem scared

[Welshbeef]

Still time yet but this could be a stunning result for Italy.

I just wish Wales had to face a France like this yum yum

possibly a little of both. There have been some flashes of a very entertaining France but....

Erm, what was Parisse thinking!?

Passion got the better of him on that one.

None the less Italy played very very well and could have beaten France away. If it were Wales and we'd lost by that I'd be frustrated sure but not devasted.




Without question Italy will not be a walk over which is great for the tournament.

Ego...simple. Terrible, terrible decision.

[spikeyhead]

Doh!

That's an unfortunate end to a great Italian performance.

Still it was a big ask even for the usual kicker/more likely to secure.

England v Scotland is never a pretty game, and that wasn't a pretty game.

I didn't think England looked under threat in the second half and the only real criticism is that they should have had a couple more tries.

New coach, first match against Scotland, that's a lot of pressure.

But a bit of a pain to watch.

I was watching my team not play well against a team we should have spat out this afternoon and they had a PA system. We were all treated to a score by score account of the Italy/France match. So what could have been an exciting match to watch died as our team did.

TBH a win's a win but...

Fazlet showed himself up again with a petulant moment when we were in a good position - tt
