The Rugby Thread

I don't mind watching England playing well - for instance that try just now was excellent. It is just that $#@!ing song that I $#@!ing hate.

Think I felt living Scotland for fours years listening to bag pipes regularly.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

That would be unpleasant. Bagpipes aren't exactly renowned for sounding delightful.

Mike Brown has been great for England in the past, but it's time to give Goode and extended chance. Too many mistakes from Brown at moment and not making any beaks either.

 

[Tredman]

I spent 8 years working with the Welsh. They win the award for annoying rugby based noise, every second of every day.

 

[Nando]

That's beautiful.

 

[Tredman]

Lovely try.

Itoje and Clifford look like they could be really good players.

Danny Care has made the biggest difference for me - been moving the ball much quicker.

 

[Stan Hullis]

We've really capitalised on the Italian fatigue and put them to the sword.

I think the interception try killed their spirit. Great from the replacements too.

 

[jd1981]

All these extra points could be important at the end.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Italy demoralised now - not a real indication of whether England are the real deal or not

 

[Tredman]

Bizarre choice for MoM. Would probably have given it to Kruis myself.

 

[Dinowolf]

MOM triple try scorer JJ for me.

I've been really impressed with him this year. He's come on a bundle IMO.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He looks a very good player indeed.

I wasn't that impressed with England in the first half, but the way they upped their game to put Italy away handsomely when the opposition tired was very good indeed. Excellent perfomance in the end.

 

[Lord Knows]

Massively impressed with Maro Itoje besides his strength speed and all round abilities he seems to have a presence about him. Something you don't usually associate with England players.

 

[Jabbawolf]

I don't mind watching England playing well - for instance that try just now was excellent. It is just that fucking song that I fucking hate.

You hate chariots, we hate saucepans!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

We don't sing Sosban Fach that much any more! Bread of Heaven I could understand as that is always being sung!

 

[Dinowolf]

Hopefully Parliament will support England having its own Anthem in March.
Then it will be just a matter of choosing one.

 

[leedswolf]

We (England) have one already.

 

[BillyDee]

We (England) have one already.

Exactly this.

 

[Dinowolf]

We (England) have one already.

Which one's that then?
