As painful as it might be for you blokes, at least you got to see it. For the first time in I have no idea how long it wasn't shown on the telly in Oz. Not even a highlights show.
Bl00dy Fcukxtel own the rights but in a fairly typical display of contempt for rugger fans it didn't bother this year. If they can't find a slot to show it live that's fine .... show some highlights at 4am next Wednesday .... I don't care .... why don't they just bl00dy well show it?
Foxtel - 6 nations? Where the bl00dy hell is it?!!??!?

Time to draft in the Rugby Sevens team that has just done well in The Commonwealth Games. They seem to have a whole different approach to the game. OK, so it's a whole different game, but there are certainly players there who would do well in the full team. Sigh.

As a proud Englishman, I thought it was a superb end to the 6 Nations!!

Thanks for reminding me AA. My elder son played county cricket and rugby for five years with one of the 7s squad. Seem to remember that he was quite useful, even then.

As a 1st generation Scot of Irish parentage, Saturday was bloody marvellous for me, made even better by the (somewhat expected) Celtic victory in the CIS Cup yesterday at Hampden.
Admitedly the first Irish try was dubious (ie it wasn't one) but hey, you takes all the luck you can get, and you guys are the world champs, n'est ce pas?.
Erin gu braugh. Alba gu braugh, Allez les Francais.
Blue touchpaper lit, now retiring gracefully.

Calm down dear(s) - it's only a game.....
this is a deadly serious subject ....
just as much as turning on Radio 4 at 04.00 hrs to listen live to the England/India Cricket conflict ....

Its a pointless exercise being the best team in the world 18 mths b4 the world cup...just ask the kiwis...their average wc placing is losing semi-finalists...but admittedly,world cup 2011 in nz will be englands to win...hopefully son of johno will be in his prime by then.

HAving been there.....
....it was highly disappointing, though rather good fun as it was my first Six Nations at Twickenham. As the U21 team won their tournament, things bode well for the future. Sadly, we were let down by the basics, and perhaps some questionable decisions. Anyway £55 well spent!

And I reckon the England team need some of those 7's players in their backline and Fr will be hard to beat in Paris next year!
