Here we go once more.
Too soon for Eddie Jones to get England firing? Make no mistake if they don't do it this year they will next.
Wales looking good many injured players back, a settled team.
Scotland. The surprise package, again?
France. I wonder what sort of team will turn up?
Ireland. Installed as favourites, the team to beat?
Italy battlers for the wooden spoon once more? |  |

Cameraman was obsessed with women wearing daffodil hats, done my head in. |
They really should be banned along with those stupid bloody sheep hats and why the hell is the tannoy system belting out Bread of Heaven after a score? Embarrassing. Great commentary from Eddie Butler mind. |  |

Frustrating true but its always nice to win.
Rugby LEAGUE?. That a pisstake? I tell you this that the fitness levels in that game are far superior and in that game there is no scrum pantomime nor line outs .
That said, one cant write off the game of rugby as some are manly because what NZ play is another issue and beautiful to watch more often than not.
Stil, every feckn year is the same on here.
Same old posters ripping the game to pieces whilst pitifully trying to opine that football is a "better" game.
Its only better if you like it in the first place.
Boring?. TRY American Football, the most laughable spectacle in "sport", followed by Baseball and the "world series" - only for north America though.
Or basketball. |  |

That game last night was a training session in defence. France had no plan b, just pick and go all the time but Wales battered them in defence.
Skill wise it was woeful.
Poor refereeing, and the coverage on BBC is getting worse. 3 commentators now!!!!
Ali Williams is the plus point though, he makes inverdale look uncomfortable which is great.
I would rather watch local club rugby than top level nowadays, far more enjoyable and full of tries. |  | | |

Wales get a penalty under their own posts and kick up to the halfway line, the ref then takes them back for an earlier offence and give France a kick under the posts.
Surely you should not go back more than one phase ?, what if the penalty incidents were smack on halfway in front of the posts, he gives the pen to Wales Biggar kicks it then somebody says before the French offence there was a Welsh offence, so the ref chalks off Wales 3 points and give France the penalty from the same point and France kick it to get the 3 points.
Madness. |  |

There was a time when I would have been thrilled with beating le Frog, the crowd would have been intense, and the players would have been jumping around with glee.
Now it's just joyless meh. Northern hemisphere rugy is utterly f****d and the includes Ingerlund. Big blokes running into each other without any idea of anything else. Every team is utter crud, overcoached, skill free garbage. Why can't Wales attack, well, because they can't pass or catch properly, that's why. Oh and they have the fraud Howley as their attack 'coach'.
You'd have thought seeing NZ, Arg and Oz in the WC might have woken some up but no, Wales Ireland and France have regressed so that even the terrible Jocks look competitive and England are slightly better than piss poor but at least are starting to pick the right players so might get better.
Worst 6N I can ever remember so far, including 1991 and 92 which were arse clenchingly atrocious. |  |

Absolutely correct - a terrible decision and one that was mentioned in passing by the team of commentators and then not picked up afterwards.
It was a penalty to France incidentally - an obviously illegal tackle, but that's not the point. If they start taking play back more than one phase where does it end ? | | | |

Comedy tmo. Mike brown was reckless with his boot, should have been red.
Won't be easy for us at Twickenham, but there is nothing to fear from this England team. If lydiate stops billy v at source, we should do them. | |

It's all about whether England can penetrate our defence.
It should be a right borefest. | | | |

He might have kicked Murray in the head a couple of times, and it may have been accidental, but agree it was reckless, and certainly a yellow. Of course in the good old days, there would have been nothing wrong in it.
The result does not really change anything, it still comes does to the next game, England v Wales — winner takes the title. |  |

Hey swansnz, I know Ali Williams was a superb player but he's a breath of fresh air as a pundit. Has he done this for a while in nz? He's quite witty. | | | |

No, I don’t think he’s done much in that line of work here. He’s always been a bit witty, a bit of a clown at times. | |

Hope we hammer England or at least beat them. They haven't played anybody good yet and Ireland have been rubbish in every game.
That blasted slavery song is just somebody else's song that's nothing to do with rugby, playing Everybody Dance Now in remixed form after every score, just makes the song even more unbearable. It's worse than playing "I've got the power" like they did previously. Then there's the team, full of toffs and posh gits from rich families, who most probably paid out for rugby lessons when they were kids. Seems to be a right English thing these days. Bloody hate them and celebrating the Calcutta Cup was just cringeworthy. | | | |

Under 20's started very well
In other news, could this be the end of rugby union as a spectator sport?
