Rugby [six nations]
 

Two brilliant matches for the neutral! Ireland scrape past Scotland to get the triple crown and Italy win against Wales at the death!! Anyone watch it? Wooden spoon for Wales surely.

Re: Rugby [six nations]
 

Wales got screwed.

Good TV viewing.

Re: Rugby [six nations]
 

nah they didn't, fair enough the ref said 10 secs but there was no way in hell they'd score a try, none, it wasn't going to happen, they chose the line out, they ran out of time, their loss.


edit it was made funnier by the fact they belted the ball into the crowd. I have no idea how they thought that was enough to kick to touch, form a line out, get the ball and score a try.

Re: Rugby [six nations]
 

Wales got ****ed over, sympathies to them. They wouldn't have gone for the lineout if they hadn't been given the impression they could win.

And Ireland deserved to beat Scotland, bit suprising that it finished so close.

Re: Rugby [six nations]
 

he said that they have 10 seconds. They were spastics and it served them right. It was a good game, and it's nice to see italy not losing for a change.

Re: Rugby [six nations]
 

I thought they were both shit games tbh

Re: Rugby [six nations]
 

safe

Re: Rugby [six nations]
 

Second.

The comedy end of the wales match was the only bit of any note.

Re: Rugby [six nations]
 

That doesn't matter. As long as time isn't up when the ball has gone out you are allowed to take the lineout. You only end play if time was up before the ball was kicked to touch.

Looking at the BBC clock it did actually seem like the game was over before we kicked it, but the ref said there was time left heh. Though you are right, the odds of us scoring were pretty slim. I think my first words were, watch us lose the lineout now.

Re: Rugby [six nations]
 

I'm gutted - I normally follow the 6 nations quite closely but I haven't seen ONE game this year. I've always been doing something (usually not very interesting either - like travelling or something) while all the games are on. I've still been following vaguely but it's not the same :(

Am I right in thinking the only way England can win is to either:
1. Win their game against Wales by a huge margin (at least 30 more points than the margin for either Ireland or France).
2. Win their game and Ireland and France lose/draw theirs.

Is that right? :(

Re: Rugby [six nations]
 

pretty much yeah, its possible but not probable for us to win, still, who would have thought we could even be in contention at this point considering the way we had been playing

Re: Rugby [six nations]
 

From what I've seen/heard, it sounds like it's less to do with England playing well, more to do with the other 3 sides playing badly.

Re: Rugby [six nations]
 

Please god let Ireland win the six nations for the first time I can remember on st patricks day :(

Re: Rugby [six nations]
 

You're expecting to remember things that happen on St. Patrick's Day?

Re: Rugby [six nations]
 

bad luck johnny :( fcking unbelieveable, never mind WC beckons

Re: Rugby [six nations]
 

christ that was unlucky for scotland at the death :( although getting the wrong player sent off has got to rank up there as one of the worst mistakes ever :/

Re: Rugby [six nations]
 

Meanwhile england getting screwed by wales and the referee

Re: Rugby [six nations]
 

the standard of officiating in the Six nations this year and the last gameweek in particular was a complete lollercaust and made a mockery of the game. o hey arbitrary decisions deciding major honours.

Re: Rugby [six nations]
 

i would say most of it hasnt been too bad but this weekend has been pretty spectacular :/

Re: Rugby [six nations]
 

Honest to god I could not believe it when that last try was given. I ask for so little and get nailed by so much :(
