Have we lost yet?

I understand that the Italians may have lost a key player at injury. Perhaps their prop who’d turned our scrum to mush?

Still, a win is a win even if it didn’t prevent us getting another spoon.

I'm sick of this french tighthead going in at 60° every time with impunity, not to mention Tuilagi offloading forwards constantly Is there any country a Tuilagi hasn't played for at this stage? Samoa, NZ, Wales, England, France, Middle Earth??? I don’t recall us having the pleasure but I might be w...

Assume our U-20s lost.

henry

I’m just hoping for a jolly good game and I hope our Italian friends get to enjoy some proper food, wine and scenery.

Torygraph to be sold to the UAEs? I think they’ve legislated to prevent it. To be fair, while the exact commercial structure of the purchasing entity isn’t crystal clear, having foreign governments owning your media isn’t great. Then again, nor is having a headbanger like the GB news backer owning ...

France B should have too much for an England side that played their RWC Final last weekend.

henry

Looks weak. Wales by -20.

If the Irish players possessed their fans confidence and certainty, results like the one against England wouldn’t happen. Yeh we had no reason to be confident after mullering France with a record score playing great rugby and swatting Wales and Italy aside :roll: We are not as good as many of the I...

North played in good Welsh teams, unlike Ieuan. He was an unbelievable finisher. Just a sniff and he scored. Same for JJ. North and James were first pick for the Lions unlike Ieuan. And both had the burden of not playing for the worst Welsh sides in living memory. Evans gets credit for being a diam...

henry

England were also not too far away from looking down the barrel of a wooden spoon this weekend. Not squeaking those wins against Wales and Italy would have put a very different spin on this weekend. Get with the message. England ‘dominated’ those games. Had Ireland lost to Wales and Italy, they wou...

Gerald for sure. Shane for sure. Then it gets tricky. Precisely. In terms of wings who have also done the business for the Lions, maybe Dafydd James also comes close in the professional era? North played in good Welsh teams, unlike Ieuan. He was an unbelievable finisher. Just a sniff and he scored....

My feeling too. Also winner was pretty much decided in the first game. By pretty much, you mean not at all? England were one shit performance against Scotland away from heading to a slam winning match this weekend. England were also not too far away from looking down the barrel of a wooden spoon th...

Was it North or Roberts who had a game v Ireland where he was just running over Darcy and McFadden all game? If it was North that's my fave :lol: Was that the 2012 game in Dublin? Plenty of chat pre-match about revenue for the RWC and North just battered the living shite out of them if remember cor...

Here is a jem for you all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BH9i8h05X0E It's the first ever match in what was the Magners/Celtic league for an Italian club. In that match Tommaso Benvenuti made his pro debut and scored a try too, he went on to be an important centre for Italy in the 10's. But it was...

Assemble the angry mob. Procure the pitchforks. And the torches.

Yeah, it’s hard to look at that and defend it. Lots of chopping and changing but it’s not reassuring. Fully agree with the puzzlement over Adams. He has been poor all championship. I suppose the argument might be that he brings some experience to an inexperienced back three but I would have loved t...

henry

No idea, but given he’s been undroppable, on for legacy defining number of caps and has previously been a patron of gatlands team wales, you wonder why he’s retiring so suddenly Gatland, has history shows, doesn’t really stand on ceremony. When you’re done, you’re done. Of course, given Tipuric and...

A touch of not with a bang but a whimper

Time is flying. Doesn’t seem that long ago when he had his first cap against the Aussies.

Good news. The incoming 20 years of misery and humiliation are going to fly right by.

Anscombe to the graveyard/glue factory for professional rugby players - Gloucester.

As a neutral, I’d say Ireland are a far superior side to England. Ireland just don’t cope particularly well under pressure. If Ireland play England first up, I’m betting on Ireland all day long. If Ireland play England at the latter stages of the 6N or at a knock out game at a RWC, I’m favouring the...

The Irish provincial schools cups finals are on this week, which meant that players from the following schools didn't provide any players to the Irish team. Leinster : Blackrock College, and St. Michaels College Munster : PBC Cork, and CBC Cork Ulster : RBAI and Ballymena Academy Connacht : Sligo G...

Doesn't matter if the standard is slightly off. What matters is that the game is competitive and that everybody at the game has a good day out.

You utter cnut.

AND-y wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2024 6:06 pm I foresee an Italian win but if we do get a Welsh one it'll be deeply unsatisfying one through bad ref decisions or Italian cards or a series of flukes.

Italy deserve this far more than we do too, we've been the worst team in this championship and it isn't even close.

Fair.

henry

I was livid at the time but in hindsight the end of the 2007 game V Italy has got to be the most hilarious refereeing mistake of all time. "Yep you've got time for the line out" *kicks ball out* "OK full time boys" :lol: It was outrageous at the time. But now, you’ve got to look back and laugh. Poo...

Wales and Australia racing to fall out of the top 10.

Plucky crims will probably beat us again.
