    Hate to say this, JR, but it seems that the Cricketers have caught, and passed on to the Twickers herd, a brand new { this year } Virus  -- play like a load of wallys then blame the ref !  He was bad but if you stick to the rules ,,,,,,,,,,,,

    Sorry to be so grumpy early on a Sunday Morning embarassedyell

    Yup it is all over bar the shouting, 2 doggey tries against them, but that said agreed they played like a load of wallysyell

    Italy not in contention, France down with  the dreaded lerg, end of 6 nations undecided

    Did it ever start🤷🏻‍♂️, ill thought out in a pandemic☹️. I love Rugby Union but not this with no atmosphere, covid rearing it’s ugly head too. It’s never going t mean anything to the eventual winner😞.  I think it’s time EJ moved on, he’s got no ideas or motivational powers now, he’s just treading water.

    Not Pandemic but panic. England poorly coached and led on the field. Totally unable to change things when the wheels came off.

    Oh dear me! We can't have the Welsh "crowing" about a record score victory, can we? When the one wheeled chariot eventually limps back to "Twickers", give your head a real wobble and reflect on an abysmal performance. Out thought, out fought, out played. How England had 15 players on the pitch for the full 80 minutes is a wonder, constant foul play by one player in particular, deserved a yellow card at least. To many penalties given away, cost England that game not two French officials.

    Not in my experience. It's no different to Scotland or Ireland playing England.

    The six nations may not be the best World Teams but its the passion in the rivalry that makes it such a great tournament.( its good humoured rivalry as you would witness if you came to Cardiff on match days) Of course when England loose its not the same for yourselves.

    It’s good to see you putting in an appearance fish, whilst Wales have suffered a few setbacks in the rebuilding you’ve been absent, you got a win & hey presto here you are. I hope Wales continue to win then we’ll see more of you👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    Visit to Cardiff on the England/Wales match should be on your bucket list.

    Record score? Remember 2007 when England posted a 62-5 win? THAT'S a record score to crow about 😀👍

    Interesting to read all the comments and to see the passion we all have for this great game and our National teams. Long may it continue.

    For what it's worth Fish, Cardiff on match day should be on everyone's bucket list - just once is enough! The banter in the pubs is legendary, but the best thing about the day, win or lose, any route back into England 😂😂

    Hi jonray, just looking at this page, on an iPad,  and as I moved my finger the page zoomed in and, if I am not mistaken, your avatar is taken in Sirmione by the wall overlooking the Scaglieri?? 


    Now that’s a place that should be on everyone’s bucket list!!

    Hi Allanandjean - your detective work has paid off and you're sooooooo correct! Thankfully, the Clubs' IT wont currently allow me to change my avatar, so now have a constant reminder of the wonderful place!

    If Carlsberg made rugby stadiums.............laughing

    I don't think so, Scoutman !!  Yet another v a i r y dodgy try for England embarassed and against a side one short for part of the game.

    Not in my experience☹️. I personally support all the home nations until we meet each other but I regularly see this from the Welsh & Scots-‘Anyone but England’🤷🏻‍♂️😊

    Well an England win against possibly the strongest team in the 6Nations. Mind you it took an over ruling of the on field decission.

    As an aside, I can remember when women were only allowed in the clubhouse on a Saturday after a game. We've come a long way and now a member of that gender makes that dramatic call and England win!

    They deserved that last try for sheer perseverance alone.

    You could not script the competition. They may not be the best teams in the world, but no other competition comes anywhere near for excitement. If only England cold play off the cuff and not like painting by numbers all would be good.
