Triple Crown

Aidan · 10 March 2007, 15:36

Well Guys, Phew!! we did it, but only just.

However it should be more of a

but its not.

WE have a bit of work to do for the World cup.

Anyway, well done to the Scotts,

Meanwhile, Italy is giving Wales a hard time....

So The scotish will take pride in us whistling to finish the match whilst we had hoped that the English match kept going,, if ya know what I mean

I'm afraid to say that the World cup has the makings of a Northern Hemisphere disaster. France could do OK but, in reality, will probably self-destruct when the pressure's on. Ireland looked good because the other home nations have been so poor as demonstrated by Italy having such a good run. Don't get carried away boys, New Zealand would put 30 points over Ireland right now and 40 over England,Scotland and Wales.

I was accused of being a triple crown once.

Wai, my mistake: That was a triple clown.

Surely not a grammer lesson Mollers!!!!! cmon, I am too old, if the program has no spell checker (pleas supply one JK) then so let it be writen, so let it be done....
You were very Quite Mollers after the Eng match,,,,,,
Nice to see you didnt take it too much to heart.

I must say that Wales were very badly treated today with the final blow of the whistle. Its an interesting call tho to go for the corner rather than teh cert 3 points. Just as well it was not Relegation stuff and the outcome didnt matter much. It would have save a whitewash tho....

Sorry Boys, I have a good few Welsh friends, too bad I will have to give them a ripping. Dont worry the Scots will get it too. We only slag/rip the ones we love..isnt that so

'Quite' what?! Now, you're either taking the piss or genuinely thick.

Save a whitewash? They'd still be bottom of the table with a draw.

They went for the corner to try to secure a victory. Obviously, no certainty of scoring a try from there, but to kick for goal and a hollow draw would just about sum up the desperation we're suffering at the moment - I think their pride and belief led to the decision to go for the lineout just a shame they didn't get to take it.

There's been some good rugby played in this season's six nations, but this weekend has been pretty poor all round, imho.

Roll on the cricket. At least you can't come last in that.

Aidan · 11 March 2007, 23:04

This would be a good time for us to thank England for their match results today with France.

So there is a little for everyone in this 6 nations,

Not sure that it will reflet in World Cup. ENgland look like hey can get their act together for the World Cup.

Roll on Summer.

Downhilldai · 11 March 2007, 23:13

No - but you can

Aidan · 11 March 2007, 23:34

Cmon Downhilldai,

Wales played very well and have great talent. I am expecting great things in World Cup from Wales.

Whatever happened to Gavin Henson,

Downhilldai · 11 March 2007, 23:44

Patches were good, but in general, they were poor - aimless kicking and an attacking line that was just too flat. They have been left behind as other nations have moved forward and I'm dreading the RWC.
Gavin who??? I think the boy Hook has taken over the inside centre spot.

Gav's trouble was that he never could quite live up to the hype. After the dream debut it was always going to be hard. Daft hair and equally daft girlfriend haven't helped either. Wales don't lack talent, they just lack a solid basic game plan that they can stick to and work on.

I reckon ballsing the whole thing up would be preferable to being pipped by the Aussies in the final.

Us or the Windies to win would be good.

Daft book too....
But like the hair and girlfriend, it's all been a good earner for him.

A close one would be great. I fear it may be a little one-sided.
