  1. Oh well Chris at least you got some enjoyment, I got my enjoyment watching all the welsh player's playing themselves out of the lions team! Only two are now sure of being in the starting team, Jenkins and Shane Williams. Ireland were so much better than Wales today two tries to nil and Wales never looking like crossing the Ireland line. Most Welsh people I know have been quite good about admitting that Ireland were the better team.

  2. I find it funny when England are poor it is not a great tournament. Ireland and Wales are both better than England at this time, it is easy to say oh if England sort their discipline out they could have won, no they would not have won, they get yellow cards for slowing the ball down, if they stopped doing this the pace of the game would increase and they would not be able to cope with it. England are still trying to play a set piece game which they no longer have the personnel to play it. England never looked like beating Wales or Ireland. Yes they beat France but that is the French for you one week great the next awful. The Ireland v Wales game will be close both are good sides, Ireland play ugly and Wales try to play a more beautiful style. I am going to the game and will be cheering Ireland.

    Oh and by the way I think I said Ireland would win it at the start!

  3. 14-13 ireland win it was quite an even affair but england playing with a man less for 20 minutes cost us the game,i cant help but think the refs when england play are far to critical on our players for any foul i seen the irish hands holding on/hands in the ruck plenty and never was it a penalty,but when england do it its like sin bin straight out.

  4. Plus I find it amusing you say Ireland have the better forwards - their scrum is weak and around the park their tight 5 offer very little in comparison to Wales. Admittedly, they've got themselves a dynamic, powerful 8 who will cause problems in open play for anyone but as Wales move the ball side to side very quickly, it brings the athleticism of the packs into play - covering that sort of yardage is pretty difficult... - Wales have the edge here. No doubt in my mind on that.

    The Irish tight 5 have 2 heinken cup medals so they are no mugs, the srum is not weak at all and they are a hard working pack. I am saying there is not much in it but Ireland edge it.

    Who's the other Irish second row?

    O callahan good player but I rate gough ahead of him.

    The thing is Chris, are wales the best team in the six nations yes but are they the best by miles no. If Ireland would have got rid of Eddie O' Sullivan years ago the irish team would have had a grand slam, if they would not have kep Gatland then I think they may have had a couple. You should know about poor coachs after gareth jenkins.

    Goode was on his feet when he went for the ball, he did get knocked off his feet and should have let go, but halfpenny did hold on, so penalty England

  5. I would go for wallace at 7, not as good on the ground as williams but better ball carrier and more disruptive tackler. On form ,ryan Jones has not been at his best so yes would leave him out. Flannery is at hooker so not aginst AW Jones it's close call but think over all his line out throwing is better than mathew rees although he had a good game on saturday , as A W Jones would be against O' Connel both great players but would go for O'C. I think gethin Jenkins is a great player work rate is imense so would go for him. I rate Adam Jones as well but John Hayes is playing well, I used to think he was useless but he has got better with age.

    Ireland and Wales are both good sides, if they played each other 5 times Wales would win 3 but they are not in the same class as NZ or SA and are not miles ahead of Ireland.

  6. Not sure about that Mark. Which Irish forwards would you select ahead of Welsh ones? Not trying to be biased, but comparing the two teams in almost every position I'd rather have a Welshman. O Connel instead of Gough maybe.

    As I said it is close, but I think the whole Irish backrow would start ahead of the Welsh backrow as well as O Connell and Flannery, the props would go with the Welsh props. Scrum half Ireland, flyhalf draw, inside centre Wales, outside Ireland. back 3 Wales but they are not as far ahead as some on here might think.

  7. from a Brian Moore, who is more one-eyed than a cock.

    but not more one eyed than you chris.

    Wales were the better side just, for the Goode sin binning he was the first player at the break down tried to take the ball, welsh player held on for dear life Goode got knocked of his feet it should have been a English penalty for Wales holding on.

    Gatland got it right told the ref England will slow the ball down and he fell for it hook line and sinker. The best team in the world slow the ball down and cheat every game and that is NZ.

    I really don't think there is much in the differnce between Wales and Ireland, Ireland find the forwards battle just, but Wales overall have a better backline.

  8. 13 for me, it was with a mate's older sister whilst on holiday, I think she was about 16. Tbh I was not too sure what was going on at first, she just grabbed me by the hand took me round the back of the shower blocks and pounced on me. Half way through all I could hear is my mate calling my name, if he would have ever looked round the back of the shower block he would have had some surprise. At 15 I did it a few times with my brothers girlfriends mate who at the time was training to be a teacher, I often wonder if she shagged any of her students!.

  9. tecnology is why Tiger is so dominant

    Is tiger the only one with this tecnology?

    I think it is really hard to compare players from different eras, but if tiger surpasses Nicklaus in the amout of majors won then tiger would be the greatest.

  10. The fact that he did with the purpose of putting it on the internet is the worrying thing. I have seen one where the kids had watched a horror movie, so the dad goes into the room where they were asleep and started up a chainsaw one of the kids nearly jumped out the window. It is just sick.

  11. Loyalists have got there own way for so long, a few parades are re routed to stop them going through nationalist areas and all this violence happens. If a community does not want them to march through it then why should they be. If a farmer did not want fox hunters to ride over his land would they be allowed to?
