Six Nations 2025

Post happygilmore »

How Abysmal were Wales last night.

An early meet of Ireland v England. Who will hit the ground running? Should be a decent game.

Because nothing shows you are united as one nation like 3 national anthems

Such has been the decline of Wales that I almost feel sorry for them.

Wales, Ireland and Scotland need to watch out in the future too because there might be an insufficient number saffas, kiwis and polynesians, of the right standard, to spread around their nations.

France worthy winners and still on the rise. England and Italy slowly improving. Scotland and Ireland declining (in Scotland's case from a very low peak) and Wales dead.

Scotland rely too much on van der Merwe and are average without him regardless of Finn Russell, as mentioned below its bollocks regarding who can play for who.

England have some decent players coming through the ranks, just need to keep the momentum against the sheep shaggers.

Will be interesting to see who makes the Lions squad.

I don't think there's ever been a team that are as reliant on 1 player than the Irish are on the Kiwi winger.

Not only is Lowe a brilliant player, I think he's the best player in the world kicking from ball in hand, most of what Ireland do well comes off the back of his kicking. Their 2 other best players, the Kiwi centre and the Kiwi scrum-half, couldn't stand up to France. And let's not forget, the ultimate best player in the world went off for France early on in the game.

Something seriously needs to be done about the residency rule in Rugby, I've got no problem with lads who grew up in a country and went through the school systems, or if someone was born in a country and moved away early, but those 3 players should never be playing for Ireland, makes an absolute mockery of the game. They're going to be starting for the Lions ffs, I won't be watching any of that due to it.

Good to see the Irish get a drubbing, they never are as good as they, the media, pundits and presenters would have you believe and it we'd have had a more consistent ref when we played them, it would be England looking at the Grandslam this weekend.

Yeah, we'll beat the Saffas in 2 weeks time. The Kiwis were just a bit too much last week.

We'd have had a much better chance if the RFU would let us pick Englishmen playing in France, as well as the coach picking the best players at his disposal rather than his picking on stats based nonsense.
