Looks like I've got a quandary now!!
Do I support England tomorrow, cos if they beat Ireland, we'll be top of the championship. Or do I go for Ireland winning, so that we can potentially have a grand slam decider in Cardiff in 3 weeks time?!?
I've been fairly restrained up until now. But can't keep it back any more...
GO WALES!!!
And well done Scotland for their first win in this years competition.
Not sure my nerves can take any more.
PS. Sorry Franck
PPS. Looks like another 2 weeks at least of not shaving then!!

Where's the quandary Steve........Second option is only optionOriginally Posted by TheTramp
You're right. I can't believe that I seriously considered supporting England.Originally Posted by Dance Demon
Someone slap me please....
Ok, just come a bit close, my arms wont reach that far!Originally Posted by TheTramp
Have to say that was the most entertaining game I have seen for YEARS!!
and did anyone notice Gus playing no 10 for Italy in the earlier game????
Never mind all that, the match of the day was Harlequins winning 17-15 at Bath. The first time we have won down there in years!
and I really thought this year we had a chance!Originally Posted by TheTramp
Not exactly stylish by Scotland today, but at least it's an improvement on last year.

Ok!! Enough's enough!
Don't anyone mention England, right!!!
... well in the same sentence as Rugby, Lansdowne Road, Ireland, referee, and South African!!!
... at least for the next 3 weeks anyway!! ... I might have recovered by then!!
Besides ..... I really quite like wooden spoons!!!
As an England supporter it is good occasionally to be humbled....once ....twice and even thrice.
Humiilty in this years Championship for England supporters is so much easier when you can

WE are the WORLD CHAMPIONS.
SOMETHING SCOTLAND AND WALES HAVE NEVER BEEN. awaiting a sporting flame!
Yeah, but..........that was then....and this is now..............and it's all gone awfully quiet........SSSHHHHHOriginally Posted by under par
Uh huh. As Mr. Demon says, that was yesterday. And I imagine that if you don't win it again, in 30 years you'll still be going on about it. Same as the football equivalent....!!Originally Posted by under par
Interestingly, looking at the IRB rankings, you're now down to 6th...
1 (1) New Zealand 90.90
2 (2) Australia 88.58
3 (3) South Africa 85.78
4 (5) Ireland 84.30
5 (4) France 83.27
6 (6) England 82.81
7 (7) Wales 81.43
And should the "unthinkable" happen, and you lose another game (since the win in Sydney, you've lost 9 out of 14 games!), and Wales win in Scotland, then you'll be down to 7th....
I guess that the old adage "You're only as good as your last game" really should apply here!!
Erm????Originally Posted by Dance Demon
Actually, we're STILL the World Champions. The only reason it's gone quiet is because the English are so gracious in GLORIOUS ALL-CONQUORING VICTORY
Now Swing Low brother!
It will be my humble pleasure to feel like a Welshman or Scot has for decades!Originally Posted by TheTramp
WORLD CHAMPIONS = ENGLAND
There is no prize nor trophy for being top of the World rankings either.
It is better to be champions once then never at all, even if it was 38 years ago or 2 years ago! IMHO
PS England are playing cr@p at the moment.
John Inverdale put it quite well on the radio recently when he said that England have at long last mastered peaking for the World Cup!
Well. We'll find out the answer to that at the next World Cup.Originally Posted by Stuart
Personally, I think that English rugby is in for another 70's/80's period

Bring on the next World Cup.
