CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 i always fear the worst. ireland are a perfect example of the difference a good out half pairing will make. i don't think there is a better pairing than murray and sexton at the minute.

theboyangel Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Went to the Exeter Chiefs match with Wasps yesterday - well deserved win for Chiefs, Jack Nowell scored two very decent tries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnbull Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Talking of Wasps. Looking forward to the London Irish game at the Ricoh on Sunday. The 30% discount for JLR peeps wasn't to be sniffed at! They've sold (?) 27k+ tickets, so it will be interesting to see what gates they get for their subsequent home matches.

villa89 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Bump. Six nations starting on Friday and it's one of the best sporting competitions around. It should be a good game to open on Friday. The English team is one of the worst I can remember and the welsh team is only okay. I predict a tight welsh win, and relatively big wins for France and Ireland.

villaajax Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 The victory is so much sweeter after Wales' antics, having a disco on the pitch and delaying kick off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haskell was man of the match for me, such an underrated force of a man. Ford looks the biz as do Brown and Young's again. It's an inexperienced side, but it's a good-un.

Xela Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 A client of mine offered me a couple of free tickets for the game last night but had to decline due to my current medical condition. Gutted Great win by England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 What a result and a truly gutsy performance. All I'd been hearing in the lead up to the game was how the Welsh were going to "smash" us and Roberts and Davies would destroy our centres [emoji23]. And apparently the English are the arrogant ones! Great to see Robshaw stand up to the dirty tricks before the game, too. Joseph is a gem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Solid win for Ireland. Plenty of injuries but complacency was probably more of a factor. Italy typically decent until their discipline inevitably let them down. Ireland never really troubled and never really got out of first gear. More to come. Scotland looked decent but 'just short' was said about 10 times by Cotter in the commentary, and the two words sum them up. France have a heap of talent but no structure. Why Parra doesn't start is beyond me - he's probably the best 9 in the NH at dictating a game. England remain the ultimate pragmatists and I expect them to win the tournament. Wales too predictable and need to find a bit of creativity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 while not very exciting to watch I think Ireland are probably best tactically drilled team in 6 nations. very well organised and disciplined If only Schmidt had access to the backs Ireland had 10 years ago then it might be different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 France are a big ugly team. Ireland could handle the ugliness, but struggled when they started playing rugby, which they did when Parra came on. Seriously, he's probably the 2nd best scrum half in the world (behind Genia), so why doesn't he start? France with Parra got to the WC final, without Parra they have been hopeless. Genuinely baffling. Do England play them home or away? Anyway, Ireland v England will probably decide the tournament. It'll be a battle. Fancy England to nick it at this stage. Ireland just struggling in the backline a little whereas England have found the spark that has been missing for the past 10 years, although it does mean they have a pretty average defence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
