No repeat of last year but this year looks to be really open. No team is on particularly good form or looking like they're world beaters either. My money is still on England though but it all depends on the welsh and irish play against the french. It's all hands on deck whenever anyone meets England and whoever we're up against try to cause an upset even when we're not the team to beat... cunts

me too 
I still think the deciding game will be France vs England though. It all depends on who gets the bonus points now. On their day either team can win that match and if France do their best they're capable of beating england. Other than that I think it'll be a walkover over the other sides for both teams. but like i said... it will all depend on bonus points.
I have a feeling there won't be a grandslam though from england

yea except that bonus points aren't in the 6 nations  *doh* ah well the france vs. England game will be the decider. I don't know why matt dawson doesn't start though. He's the best ive seen, and he's much better than ellis who pissed me off against italy. Dawson and his work at the scrum is better than any tackling that ellis did last game. I doubt he will start though . The scots will get dicked though and cueto ftw

This is rugby fool. STAY OUT OF MY THREADS! 
We deffo need dawson though for his quick balls out of the scrum and offload. We saw what happened last week with the french. It's usually in the last 20mins that the english stamina shows and they start to really take a grip on the game. If I was the french i'd deffo play serge betsen though. This guy is amazing. |

tri nations isnt any better than the 6 nations really.
for me it'd be
New zealand
<huge gap>
France (on their day)
south africa, England
Ireland, Australia
it all depends on who turns up for these teams though but like the french new zealand have so much class and stregth in depth they're miles ahead of everyone.

As long as italy doesnt win
I dont have anything against Italy mind u. It just when they do good, its because they are the best. But when they do bad, there are always 100 million excuses as to why they lost and shit
least from my italian friends and the italians around here

Well ireland are a newcomer to the tournametn and aren't known for their rugby skills. However in Mauro Bergamasco and Paul Griffen they have two great players.
England shoulda won but that ref. was fucking rediculous. Irelands first try went into touch. then their second cohen threw it to himself out of touch but he was deemed in touch. That led to them getting a scrum, which they illegally took down and then the ref. punished England.
He was very quick to give advantages to Ireland but hardly gave any to England which was bollocks. |

I dont know much about Rugby dude  Aside from the rules and how to actually play it.
Ireland isnt a big player when it comes to rugby? u'd think the irish would be perfect for rugby |

That's it though. the 2 big sports in Ireland are only played by the irish. Gaelic football and hurling. They have a huge stadium but it's not used for rugby either. they use (use to until now) lansdowne road but i think it's going to be played at the huge stadium croke park.
edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croke_Park
I was right they are going to be played there Surprised I got the spellin right too.
as a side not.. they also have a half decent football team but they never seem to achieve or get anywhere.
edit 2: fuck... as for rugby rules. If your foot (whilst you have possesion of the ball) or the ball touches the white line.. not passed it, just touches it then the ball is out of play. Ireland kicked the ball up fielf and ben cohen tried to get the ball but slipped and the ball bounched passed him. Then an irish play (horgan) ran down the line and kicked the ball to keep it in touch but it touched the line just as he kicked it. The referee awarded the try for that and didn't even go to the video referee. The linesman put his flag up, then put it down too which is BS.
and as for the cohen throwing to himself.. you can do that as long as it travels 5 yards. He ran to get the ball from the side of the pitch then lofted it to himself. Yes it was a close call but it was still valid. The guy didn't even go to the video ref for that decision either even though if he did england would have had the lineout and wouldn't have complained much because it's still a favourable position to be in.

holy fuck dude...pure slang terms eh?
I understand what u said still, but man, I had to read it twice
That is BS tho, from the way u describe it.
Ive only seen a few rugby games on tv still. I wonder if its covered regularly here in Canada...? hmmm....every other fuckin sport is on some channel.
I mean fuck, we have a GOLF channel...GOLF...who the fuck (besides alcoholics) watches golf? I'd rather watch paint dry
EDIT - Are there alot of bench brawls and fights and shit in professional rugby? |
