The 6 Nations 2024

Fail to prepare
Prepare to fail

No one will remember this result if the quarter final isn’t annexed in 4 years.

Due to having the same 17 players the last 6 years as they’re all full time and on drugs?

We’ll miss you after July 21.

Fucking massive ingoal areas.

That was such a bad pen to concede

Forde not kicking well off the tee

It’s surprising the dimensions of the in-goal areas aren’t standardised much more because the size of them can have a material impact on tactical play, ie. it should lead to more cross field kicking or grubber kicks through for players to run onto.

One of the noteworthy features of watching ye olde Rugby League on Grandstand back in the day was how tiny the in goal areas were. Murrayfield used to have huge in goal areas in the period after the stadium was redeveloped.

Association football seems to have gone stone mad on standardising such irrelevancies as goal stanchions. Variety of goal stanchions was one of the underrated joys of watching the game in general.

England treating the post World Cup 6 Nations with the required respect too. I’d say they all have a big laugh about the Irish boys

You watching it, you are?

Ireland haven’t had a successful post-World Cup Six Nations since 2004.

2008 got Eddie O’Sullivan the sack.

2012, 2016 and 2020 were all very meh with the team appearing to be drifting rudderlessly.

No, what’s the score?

Italy have never beaten England in senior international TEST MATCH rugby.

30 TESTS, 30 defeats.

It may turn out to be the case that nobody beats Italy 31 times in a row. Or it may not.

Decent try at the end for losing bonus pt.

These days ye need to wait to see who’s out on parole.

How many?

No idea but you seem to be all over any thread that I as a rugby fan open. Is there not some stickball for you to watch?

Gregor doesn’t give a solid fuck about this 6 Nations either
