Thought I’d start this to save the Gentlemen’s game getting mixed in with those nasty soccer threads.
So it was a right old mixed bag for those interested in the game with the egg shaped ball (alright I know there are at least 4 versions and one has some super duper final or something tonight) but I mean Rugby Union for the purposes of this thread. First of all the French go from heroes in the pouring rain to zero’s and hand the game on a plate to Wales. Mind you if Les Bleus had a kicker the Welsh still wouldn’t have won.
Then the Scots, who’ve rediscovered the game in recent years, trounce the Italians before letting them get a few tries at the end. Finally England’s 1st team free from injuries turn up all brave and quick and nasty in Dublin to beat the Irish - second best team in the world, in a fantastic game. Us English should get carried away because it’s the first time we’ve won in Dublin for donkey’s and played really well, but not cocky and over confident because it’s just one game, but the signs look promising for the World Cup in Japan this Autumn.
So post all your Rugby stuff in here....we’re getting to the sharp end of things soon.
