Rugby Union

Rugby
Ireland 13 - England 32 (76 mins)
Only Rovers could lose this now!

 

[Wilpshire Blue]

Don't know if skullduggery is expected at Twickers today but France's number one is named Poirot

 

[Drog]

England cruised it 44-8 over France. 5 try's to 1.


Man City 6-0 v Chelsea!

Not a great day for Les Bleus all round is it?

Eddie has got his mojo back , England totally dominant.

Cardiff next , should be a cracker

I'm not a massive rugby fan but I'll be watching that one! From England's point of view we have had a tough opener but have beaten two of the 3 real danger teams currently in the 6 nations, Scotland and Italy being of lesser quality but possible 'banana skins'. The Cardiff match is highly likely to be the decider.

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

Same here pal, not a big fan myself but I find the England games in the six nations enjoyable.



(When were beating everybody)

 

[Drog]

Same with the cricket.

Love watching rugby union and England are brilliant at the moment. Full credit to Jones after the stick he's been getting.

Couldn't agree more.

I've always been a league man myself being from the North, but have learned to appreciate the club game with Worcester Warriors being our closest team, Bath, Gloucester and Wasps only a stone throw away. Very technical game union and when played at speed is a joy to behold.

Going to make the world cup interesting, hopefully England are peaking at the right time.

 

[Wilpshire Blue]

Come on England 0-3 so far

 

[Wilpshire Blue]

3-10

 

[OnlyOneTugay]

Both teams defending as if their lives depended on it . Take note Rovers !

 

[Wilpshire Blue]

9-10
Getting uncomfortably close in this second half

 

[OnlyOneTugay]

Unbelievable.

England Rugby , after being in control , do exactly what England Cricket did last night and throw it away

I guess when everyone in the world desperately wants to beat you and goes that extra mile to do it , sometimes it makes it damn tough to win these sorts of games .

Well done Wales

According to the commentary England went wrong after ht by coming out to defend their lead and rely too much in attack on kicking. It was clear they'd lost their momentum in that 2nd half.
Surrendering a lead Twice in a day is doing my head in.

Well done lads

We had a school master who made us do the same , when we played other schools , both home and away . Easy when we won , but a bit harder after the disappointment of a defeat .

England 33 Wales 19

Good win for an ‘ experimental under strength ‘
England team against a fairly full strength Wales in a World Cup warm up . Wales were the World number 1 for a couple of hours

Return game at the Millennium next week will be a tough one

 

[OnlyOneTugay]

England absolutely hammer Ireland in another pre World Cup friendly .

Should the greatest sporting nation of all time dare to dream of winning two World Cups in one year ?

 

[khmerblue]

Cant wait for the Rugby world cup to start.

Steve Smith doesn't play Rugby does he?
