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.

OK so are we sitting comfortably? Or are we behind the sofa already! shock

annodomini Sat 22-Feb-14 14:21:19

Half time and I must be a masochist to be watching this. sad

Hurrah for Scotland. What a game. X

Elegran Sat 22-Feb-14 15:18:20

What a final score! Talk about cutting it fine!

annodomini Sat 22-Feb-14 15:19:55

They don't half make us sweat! Couldn't believe that wonderful drop goal. A late blooming flower of Scotland!

Soutra Sat 22-Feb-14 15:23:18

Oh my ears and whiskers!! I am so glad I stuck with it but my nerves are in SHREDS !smile smile smile !!

nannyfran Sat 22-Feb-14 15:26:22

Well done Scotland, I'm so pleased for you-and in spite of Steve Walsh!
Just don't do it again on the last weekend!

annodomini Sat 22-Feb-14 15:35:09

Oh yes, nannyfran, my blood ran cold when I heard who the ref was today!

soop Sat 22-Feb-14 15:37:29

Dgd's rugby commentary.

YES!!! I am exhausted but happy, happy, happy.

annodomini Sat 22-Feb-14 15:54:04

Your GD really understands the principles of the game, Galen.

Time for England win NOW! X

England played a great game, very exciting grin grin

England v Ireland an absolutely cracking match. Best I've seen in an age. However, rather glum with the result! sad

annodomini Sun 23-Feb-14 15:52:19

England are cannily building a team for the next World Championship. Ireland are leaving it a bit too late and sticking to too many of the 'old guard', though I won't hear a word against Brian O'Driscoll!

JessM Mon 24-Feb-14 15:30:25

B o'd slept on my sister's couch once!
Wales looking better but it was not a particularly enjoyable game to watch. Two tries were fun though.
We were rooting for Ireland (DH born there) but that was a great match. Exciting last two weeks of the championship with 3 teams in contention.

annodomini Sat 08-Mar-14 17:58:18

Such an emotional match for Ireland. I've been a big fan of O'Driscoll for years and have never forgiven the All Blacks for that spear tackle that took him out right at the beginning of a Lions' Tour. An emphatic victory over Italy.
Now it's half time in the Scotland France match with Scotland ahead. If I was a nail biter my nails would be down to the quick.

annodomini Sat 08-Mar-14 22:51:19

Oh dear! Scotland managed to give away a kickable penalty at the last moment and let France win a match which they didn't deserve to win. sad

Soutra Sat 08-Mar-14 23:34:48

Sadly another case of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. So near...sad

JessM Sun 09-Mar-14 07:04:26

Yes anno the All Blacks are dirty players, particularly at the beginning of matches. B o'D has been the best player Ireland has ever had, surely. If they had knighthoods, he'd get one. I always remember watching on TV when he played a match in Wellington NZ and there was a southerly storm (the cold kind in NZ) going on. B o'D was interviewed as soon as he came off and his teeth were chattering he was so cold.
Glad Ireland had a good win on his last match in Dublin.

soop Sun 09-Mar-14 12:26:36

Soutra you've taken the words out of my mouth...sad

ninathenana Sun 09-Mar-14 14:46:26

Go England !!!

nannyfran Sun 09-Mar-14 17:28:20

Oh, the shame of it!Where were the side that used to be able to play rugby?
Well done England, you deserved it, but you've made me a very unhappy Welsh woman!
