Six Nations 2011

[Les Beeavinu]

Starts tomorrow. Wales v England - one of my highlights of the sporting year. Think England will do very well this year. Chris Ashton will be a star by the spring.

 

[Carri Bee Un]

It's all just scores in the morning for me nowadays and highlights on the interweb but I do like a bit of egg chasing

Six Nations starting before the Superbowl? I'm gonna be so confused

Why aren't they changing the whole team every couple of minutes? Where's the magic yellow line across the field? Why aren't the fans holding up witty banners using the broadcaster's initials?

I like the way only Italy's games are on Saturday afternoons, not any of the important games, so club games aren't moved to silly hours. Don't suppose it was done for such altruistic reasons, though.

Got a bad bad feeling about this year

Opening match is at 4am here and struggling to find somewhere to watch it. Probably a blessing in disguise!

 

[Banana]

Agree with Les though that Wales v England is the highlight of the sporting year. Especially in Cardiff. Can't believe I've messed up the timing if thus trip!

 

[Hungerford Bee]

Last year's info but may still be valid?

[Banana]

Thanks However It's more about finding a place that will be open

 

[Banana]

This is an unmitigated disaster! The only three hours I can't find anywhere to watch this in Singapore is from 3 to 6 am. Exactly the time that the match is being played. Not even the rugby clubs are open!

Last roll of the dice. Found a place open 24 hours with big screen. But will they have the channel???? #6nations #Singapore #disenfrancisedMiddleClasx

You could always be a sad bugger and watch it on your own in your hotel bedroom on the BBC web site with a few beers to keep you company.

..................................23-19.......................................

 

[GP200]

..................................GoldenBalls does it............26-19...............................

Not a great performance from either team, but a win's a win.

Now can anyone who's played the game explain why full time professional players give away so many stupid penalties?

And just how many substitutions are allowed in this game? England made 5 that I can remember, but it was probably more.

 

[JBN]

Nanas search for a venue to watch the game was well worth it.

I do hope he enjoyed it as much as I did

 

[GP200]

...........................final score.......26-19.......................

 

[SCBee]

I thought it was a pretty good game to watch, lots of commitment from both teams but too many silly mistakes. England won as they were widely expected to but not really by the margin expected.
Early days but both teams look a very long way from worrying the Southern Hemisphere teams in the World Cup

They won by exactly the margin expected by the spread firms :computer:

 

[fencer/bee]

Decent game, i thought England made hard work of it, the scoreline flatterd the Taffs.

Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky guess.

Chris Ashton will be a star by the spring.

That swan-dive will come back to haunt him one day. Hopefully not in Auckland 2011.

Martin Johnson will beat it out of him.

Italy 22-21 France



Sets up the wooden spoon decider at Murrayfield next week.

 

[Banana]

We almost had the worst Grand Slam side in history there. Shown up for what they are. Crap.

 

[Alan D]

I generally don't bother to watch England play as they bore me to death, but after today I must do it more often. Always enjoy them being stufffed and I don't mind who do it.

Crap today, but still good enough to beat the sheep shaggers from over the severn bridge and in all probability win the Championship.

 

[Mark H]

I love the way the little nations play crap for the entire comp and then pull out the stops for the English.rofl

Well played the Irish, deserved winners.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

England have won it haven't they?
