[2017 RBS Six Nations] Round 2: Wales vs England (11/02/2017)

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

He's fourth choice.

He's fairly average height for a lock.

He's skinny.

Spot on, but I don't think the Jones Boy reads comments. He's too busy pressing spacebar to start a new line.

 

[RedruthRFC]

Lawes is nailed on, supreme athlete and a giant

Is that Courtney Lawes? If he's a giant, so is almost everyone who plays second row professionally.

Shut up what a stupid thing to say

Yes I think you might be right, I do have a sneaky feeling Biggar may not be fit as well, in which case we've got a chance SD would get the ball moving a bit quicker than Biggar giving a bit more time to his backs (could even make Cuthbert look like an international winger again)

Gonna be interesting to see what happens today with north and biggar . I always thought it was a mistake to risk them when they clearly weren't fit but it would be suicide to risk North and put Roberts in the 23 shirt ....

 

[TheSaffycen]

If North did go down early on what would happen? Would Roberts go 12 then Scott Williams go wing? Very risky if it did happen...

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Maybe Sam Davies to 15 and Halfpenny wing?
Still risky, considering its international level, though.

 

[martinspoonboy1]

It's the Welsh being cunning. North is bound to start!

 

[Which Tyler]

I see the ladies match in a couple of hours is also on BBC2 Wales; just like the kids last night.
Do we do a separate thread? repurpose the U20s one? or make this afternoon's match thread a double-bill?

I figured there were genuine rugby fans on here, who would understand what I meant by giant, A Giant in the line out, and thats exactly what he is.
Carry on with your twittering

Yes your right, but I hope Howler knows what he's doing although I suspect not

Sam D has looked decent when played at FB this season, although I am secretly hoping Biggar is declared unfit, I feel our best chance of a W is with starting at 10, then Williams would be on the bench.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

At Tiglets game today so will have to avoid this forum till I watch the recording later.

[TRF_Olyy]

Our roving reporter in the field (Cymro) says that North is deffo out

 

[TheSaffycen]

So does that mean Cuthbert is in? Watch him score the winning try

 

[martinspoonboy1]

North is on the official team sheet. Make of that what you will . . .

 

[TommiG88]

He's semi fit then.

 

[NickBD]

BBC saying North is out Cuthbert starts.

 

[valley commando]

Win or loose and the odds are we will loose, Howler has made a schoolboy error and through his shortsightedness should be sacked win or loose.

 

[TW27BA]

BBC saying North is out Cuthbert starts.

Pleased to hear that. Cuthbert will be a target now. So will Biggar and his sore ribs.
Wales have missed a trick starting with Cuthbert. The poor guy has zero confidence.

Who do you have in mind, with international coaching experience to take over? Howley is too negative and Gatland predictable.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

POC has been a great addition to the BBC coverage

 

[ratsapprentice]

BBC listed Maro as 6'3"... And the rest!

Paul's been great, first heard him doing stuff on the preview pod and his insight was genuinely really interesting.
