Re: France vs England - Official 6 Nations Thread - 16 March 24

It's only 1 ticket, at 90 euros I believe, sitting next to us (3 french blokes). Payment will be done in front of the stadium. Mer...

Re: France vs England - Official 6 Nations Thread - 16 March 24
Obviously it'll be a French win. But a decent performance from England will keep the hope alive that our debonair, smooth talking, nonchalant coach will continue the march forward.

I'm pro Scotland having another independence vote and for there to be a set minimum period before they can vote again if they do not vote to leave. This is the right thing to do as the SNPs raison d'être means they will start agitating for another vote as soon as they lose. That is no good for the ...
