NZ are the epitome of the sport of rugby. The fact that they are so good makes it even more enjoyable when somebody beats them, like the French in the WC or the Irish in Chicago. Epic occasions and top entertainment. Then theres the top level rugby they provide. Its up to the rest to catch up...
Some good shouts there except for maybe in the Scots camp. Loved Moore as a player for similar reasons why i chose Evans. Also he is a great commentator and is rubbish at masking his emotions when England are playing poorly
Ooooohhhh you pedantic b*%#@%£
Would you be happier if i posted every name our beloved tournament has had since it began? Anyway im sure you got my jist... Threw Ieuan in over JPR, Bennett etc cos he played with proper emotion. Granted he was not technically as good a player as some of the...
Firstly thanks for posting cos i missed it. Secondly people are gettin a little hung up on his phrasing. He lists 10 irish players in his team of the tournament. But i think he is referring to a world 15. For example beauden barrett instead of sexton... which is plausible... he is very...
It was a decent game buy the fortress didnt seem so daunting having been previously dismantled by scots n french. Important we build if we want to rival ABs like England did back before 99 WC.
England are a decent side, they dont get poor overnight. Ireland were superior in every facet. interesting to see how EJ responds. Scoreline is flattering for England. Farell kicked poor but he is still head and shoulders above anyone else in a white jersey. Great game. Now to watch the battle...
This game signified whats great about the six nations. For the neutral it was a great game. There are no easy games in this tournament and a win on the road is a tough thing to find.
Lucky in the respect that Wales failed to convert chances and territory to points. England ground out the win. Ps theres no pessimism, ive stated previously how good England are and one loss does not make them a poor side. It has removed their cloak of invincibility however and the French and...
Stole my thunder.
Ps Eng didnt learn from Welsh game where they were lucky to earn the win. Massive pool of resources however always keeps them at top table. Safe to say only New Zealand from SH the standard that the top NH teams need to reach. And i think both Eng and Ireland are capable in a...
Jesus lads i made the mistake of reading the last few pages of crap. I was expecting some plaudits of scotlands performance v an extremely good rugby nation however instead i found crap about EJ and forum members bashing each other.
That aside id like to say that England v Ireland at...
ireland are heavily reliant on the sexton murray axis, however the same could be said of scotland and england, wales prob have the best strength in depth in this dept however they are let down by underperforming backs especially north... he has underachieved since his lions tour, halfpenny...
