Six Nations 2018

[SHARPIE]

I really can't be arsed, we (Wales) will be shite with all the injuries and newbie players. It's ok, rugby has cycles. I see a wooden spoon in our future this year! Sod this being a fan through thick and thin nonsense, I'm totally a glory hunter!

Anyway, I'm off out for a meal tomorrow during the match at a place that's not showing it!

Anyway @Lorac @poths @allezfred - enjoy innit!

 

[allezfred]

Not going to be able to cope with the Winter Olympics going on.

 

[poths]

It's FINALLY here !!! Whooop.

 

[Lorac]

Regardless of anything else @SHARPIE the Welsh still have the best anthem

We sure do!

and I seem to have been premature with my dire predictions.

Totally premature - Wales are flying - I admit I was expecting a closer match!!!

 

[SHARPIE]

Leigh Halfpenny WTF with him not being man of the match!!!!

Nice to see the crop of newbies pulling together too.

All too much for this guy, bless.

[Lorac]

LOVE IT IRELAND!!!! That was fecking tense!

Kudos to him for having another go at the drop goal after the miss earlier in the match - from closer!!! Though to be honest that game was pretty dull until the last 16 minutes so well done Ireland!!

 

[allezfred]

Errrr, yay.....

Suck on it France!

 

[SHARPIE]

Yeah it was a really dull game @Lorac

I think I made 3 comments

End of first half- "Well this is shit, someone score a try"
Second half- "Oh nice try! He's a Frenchman called Teddy too! Cool!"
Later- "Come on Ireland you wankers ! Yaaaaay! Nice one!"


I think that sums up the match? Non?

 

[SHARPIE]

I scrapped my meal out by the way - kind of thought, "oh this looks promising" after 5 minutes.

 

[SHARPIE]

I guess Wales can suck on it?

Fantastic result for Scotland! Thrashing England for the first time in how many years?

 

[allezfred]

Paloma Del Rio, Spanish figure skating commentator, was tweeting about 6 Naciones which is how I found out about the result,

 

[SHARPIE]

Congratulations Ireland! 6 Nations winners 2018! Now for the Grand Slam?

 

[allezfred]

Errr, go us....

 

[SHARPIE]

Well done Ireland! Suck on it everyone else. Grand Slam win on St Patrick's Day I expect @poths may die.

 

[SHARPIE]

A smaller for Wales beating France and finishing in second! Wheee

 

[Lorac]

Well the least said about this years 6 Nations the better IMO - roll on next year

Oh and congrats to the Irish for gaining their 3rd ever Grand Slam. If you're going to do it St Paddy's Day is as good a day as any.

Well done Ireland, what a great achievement and Wales 2nd

A big suck on that Eddie Jones from those "scummy" and "shitty" little places

To be fair though, I actually find his banter hilarious.

OK, I don't know who Eddie Jones is (assume he's a commentator) I don't watch rugby at all, but from the News I just knew a win would be a big deal for Ireland - no wins at all for England - and hopefully there'd be a win for Wales

Eddie Jones is the England coach (he's Australian). He apologised this week for referring to Wales and Ireland being "scummy and shitty" last summer.
