When you’re playing the Wild rover in Eb, what other chords do you use out of interest?

The try was not checked by the TMO. It was when you had insane rules about only certain things allowed to be checked by the TMO. The ref asked the Scottish TJ if the correct ball was used and he said yes it was (lied). The TJ disappeared never to be seen from again.

Well I was more talking about believing in karma, but are you saying World Rugby (or IRB or whoever) killed the Scottish TJ?

Someone posted on the Irish thread that we're 10 point favourites. Is that right? Sounds bonkers.
The Bookies have you as 1l4. Which for me is just about right. I think you will win easily by 10 to 15 points tbh. Home advantage is massive.
Sorry for digging this up from page 2, but home advantage? In an Ireland v Wales game? You’re either taking the piss, or haven’t actually followed either team for very long.

Well, home advantage for Ireland under Schmidt is pretty important. 4 losses, none in the 6N, two of them were NZ and one was a WC warm up.

Wales did get closest in the 6N, tbf.

Must it be all three, what if they're older and have false teeth but are still sharp of mind and have their drinking very under control? Again you seem like a good person Winnie so I'm not calling you a bigot.

As I said, under Schmidt, it's home advantage although you have a slight edge with the draw. Prior to that, we won away in 2013, you in 2012. Home wins in 2010 and 2011, I think, and then away wins in 2008 and 2009.
