I was out but DVR'ed it & just finished watching. Was a good game from 15 min mark forward. Ref kinda sucked in the beginning with the scrums. A very good game indeed.
Watched the England game yesterday, now to sit down and watch the Scotland game on iPlayer. Proxy servers rock
Owen Farrell and Chris Ashton have got to be the two biggest twunts in rugby right now. Classless fucks.
Both League converts, well, Farrell's father was (although I always thought he was shite in a Union shirt and Brian Ashton's perseverance with him cost us game wins) and both Fez-heads!
I don't know that I'd go that far with Farrell. He's Jonny Wilkinson V 2.0. Brings home the wins for England, but makes it boring as balls to watch. If I was a play-by-play commentator for England matches, I would just play a loop that said, "Aaaand Farrell kicks. Aaaand Farrell kicks. Aaaand..."
Why not blame the opposing teams? After-all, if they didn't try so hard to stop the English playing an open, expansive, running game, England would beat them by playing an open, expansive, running game.
Lets Go Irish London Called My nephew has been there 1 week (moved there for work) and he says I'm not coming back - I said - I told U so But he is going to Eng v. Eye-Ties tomorrow w/ his new Brazilian GF That boy brings a tear to my eye - carry on...
Three ugly games this weekend. Scotland sets a record for penalties conceded, a very uninspiring draw in Dublin and today, England squandered too many opportunities early on and Italy were unlucky, beaten by a good defence in the end. Still, it makes the game in Cardiff next week that bit more interesting.
Any Brits up for meeting up in London to watch the Wales v England match? http://www.thornburycastle.uk.com
