Well then. Wales not looking that sharp I thought, considering the stellar line-up. And England closely beaten by a dangerous looking France. I wouldn't like to put money on who was going to win the 6 nations this year.

Aw Nannyfran, how unkind, but you are not going to any of our matches this year are you?

berdie Wed 05-Feb-14 08:50:54

Every time we have a bad Lions tour the French win the Six Nations. My money is on them to do it again this time, however, Mr Gatlan and team look good again this year. Wales, France ????????? where is the nearest bookmaker ?.

Just seen your post Anniebach. No, don't worry I'm not going this year, I wouldn't be so mean!
I've just read that Sam's back as Captain on Saturday, let's hope it's a good omen.

Anniebach Sat 08-Feb-14 15:12:11

Good grief, come on Wales ,

annodomini Sat 08-Feb-14 15:39:09

I feel your pain, Anniebach!

Anniebach Sat 08-Feb-14 15:53:39

annodomini , I am hurting, thank you. I can just about cope with losing a match but this is humiliating

annodomini Sat 08-Feb-14 16:30:05

That didn't look like the Welsh side we have known. Think of me in the next hour or so when the 'flower of Scotland' have to face the old enemy... hmm

Anniebach Sat 08-Feb-14 16:39:11

Congratulations Ireland, so deserved

annodomini , I wish you luck, now get out there and WIN

Theseus, having been to a pub on Hartland point with DSiL, and done a bit of wave watching, and nearly got blown off his feet, slept through most of the Ireland Wales match, but is now fully awake and not looking happy. Plus ca change....

annodomini Sat 08-Feb-14 17:43:02

Half time and the 'flower of Scotland' is drooping! sad

Anniebach Sat 08-Feb-14 17:50:00

Come on Scotland, get moving boys

annodomini Sat 08-Feb-14 18:00:04

Poor Murrayfield. It used to be a most beautiful pitch. I don't think we can blame the worms for Scotland's performance though.

JessM Sat 08-Feb-14 20:04:02

Yes confirmed my prediction that Ireland will win the championship.

Agus Sat 08-Feb-14 20:18:43

sad for Scotland and Wales. Well done, Ireland and England..well deserved.

Anniebach Sat 08-Feb-14 20:58:49

I missed the second half of the Scotland match - power cut. So sorry Scotland x

mrshat Sat 08-Feb-14 21:06:20

Delighted with Ireland's win today and last week - here's hoping their great form will continue throughout the championship! grin

Soutra Sat 08-Feb-14 21:29:49

sad Scotland really need better direction. Sacking the captain "pour encourager les autres " didn't work for a start!

Galen Sat 08-Feb-14 22:21:14

Do you think Alex Salmond should be sacked then?

Soutra Sat 08-Feb-14 22:41:27

That's a whole other story Galen! Probably grin

soop Sun 09-Feb-14 12:35:39

ditto Agus

annodomini Sun 09-Feb-14 14:03:02

Sacking the captain demoralised 'les autres' in my opinion. They didn't look like a team at all. An old stager like Kelly Brown should at the very least have been on the bench What an insult. It's time they got rid of that coach. He was interviewed and I could hardly understand a word he said but what did come through was complacency.

nannyfran Sun 09-Feb-14 15:58:38

I felt the score in the Scottish game did not reflect Scotland's performance fairly, I thought they were unlucky in many ways even though England played well.
As for Wales-I can't believe how awful they were and still feel depressed about it all.Humiliating is right Anniebach!It will be a relief not to have a game next week, my nerves won't stand it.

JessM Fri 21-Feb-14 15:40:40

Wales plays France at 8 tonight - Mike Phillips dropped. Be interesting to see how his replacement controls the play.

nannyfran Fri 21-Feb-14 15:47:17

I'm very nervous about tonight after their last performance.The George North change of position should also be interesting.I wish Gatland had given James Hook a go at No.10 instead of Priestland. We shall see!

nannyfran Sat 22-Feb-14 12:40:06

What relief! It's nice to be able to smile again after last night. Sorry Priestland, you did O.K after all.
Good luck Scotland and may the Gods and the ref. be with you.
