6N England v Ireland
-
6N commentators are the NRL commentators of the rugby world.
That said:
- Italy v Scotland was a bloody good game
- I don't mind a bit of positivity given all the negative shit about Rugby in these parts
If they want to call it "Rugby's Greatest Championship", go for it. It probably is on a number of fronts.

Is there a more cheat-y team in the red zone then Ireland?
Crusaders.

@Billy-Tell said in 6N England v Ireland:
Yes. Ireland with yet another cynical hold on on the line. Punished!
Didnāt even let go AFTER the ref told him!

Entitlement is a bitch.

Just sourced the Heaslip quote. He actually said, for England to win Ireland would have to go down to 14 or 13 men. Apologies for the previous mis-quote.

Pleased to see this diving bullshit go unrewarded, except to cement Furlong's reputation.
Would have had a look personally
I think if you are coherent enough to take a ridiculous dive, then you are probably fine.
Only reason to stop the game would be to laugh at the player milking it, then carry on. -
Thank god for Clive
āAhead of this game I wrote that to have any chance against Ireland, England simply had to play with a breakneck speed that would catch their opposition off guard,ā he wrote in his Daily Mail column.
āI honestly believe that Borthwickās players had read my pre-match column because they were so quickly out of the blocks.
āEnglandās first quarter showed they are improving. It was much better than weāve seen in this Six Nations so far. England played well. I did wonder in the first 40 minutes if they had real belief they could win the game. But as the match progressed, that belief grew.ā

TBH Before the weekend I donāt think many would have disagreed with much of what they said.

Agreed on that point, it has been absorbing all the way along but when three of the top teams are playing poorly, they maybe have a point.

All teams are playing as well as the opposition lets them.
Been fantastic rugby, loved it. No shit games that I can remember.

Not sure I agree with that bit. Wales were shit in the first hal v Scotland, not really because Scotland were that good, there were just poor. England played two games with zero ambition, they werenāt pressured into playing a dour kicking game, though there is the argument that pressure caused some of the shitness of the kicking. France have just not shown up until last weekend. However I do agree that all the games were bloody good but not because Wales were playing well or because England and France were previously.
Having said all that, Iāve enjoyed the spectacle all the way through. Strange to have the two views together I guess.
