Serious observation of the day: God Save The Queen is the shittest anthem in world rugby.

 

[kharma45]

Mon Wales

 

[Clegg]

God I hope Wales smash them.

Probably won't but pls.

 

[CCS]

If Wales win I will dance around my house for the rest of the evening.

 

[Beefy]

Oh crap here we go.

Nerves are shot to bits.

C'MON WALES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully we can have a 2nd victory over you today (Saints supporter). But I can see Wales winning.

 

[derdriu]

Seriously if the UK sent a Welsh choir to the eurovision it would be 12 pts from everyone

Now theres no need of that

My college at Uni is a heavily Welsh college, wish I was back there for this.

 

[Slacka]

This is it, one of the biggest games of the tournament, Come On England!

 

[Griss]

I got the kickoff time wrong and booked a golf game in an hour. Shiiit.

Also, rugby has a bloody issue using shite music to destroy pre-match and post-try atmosphere. Cut that shit out.

 

[slider]

Met up with a friend for lunch and his wife turned up in her Wales top. Made me smile. We parted agreeing that it's just a game. Will be onto her immediately if (when!) England win.

Jesus man?

Good Oxford knowledge there my man

Watching Six Nations in the JCR is always amazing.

My old college, but well before your time (also well before the current JCR's time).

That's pretty awesome, when were you there?

Great start for Wales!!

 

[Omikaru]

That's right, get that scoreboard ticking.

 

[phisheep]

Great start for Wales!!

1975-78

 

[Beefy]

The atmosphere is crazy.

 

[CCS]

1975-78

A fair ways back that. You'll be pleased to know we've got our rugby team to division one of the college league last couple of years

Couldn't agree more. I hate the shitty music stadiums always play during games.

Weak defence from Wales but England kick away possession for... reasons?

 

[CCS]

Wales showing more game intelligence so far.

 

[electristan]

go on wales!

so excited for this game!

 

[SHarris78]

England looking dangerous in attack, and Wales a bit dodgy in defence.

 

[kmag]

Wales showing more game intelligence so far.

England look the more dangerous in possession though.

The ref might want to start having a word to England at the break down, that 4 penalties now in the first 10 minutes.

 

[Beefy]

England look nervous. So make stupid mistakes.

 

[Omikaru]

Got a bad feeling about this lineout. Here comes an English try.

Edit: *phew*

 

[CCS]

England look the more dangerous in possession though.

Wales good at the breakdown and in decision making. Kick chase and wide defence poor though, as well as bad first scrum.

 

[kmag]

Gatland ball isn't going to work if the scrum and lineout isn't working.

 

[Beefy]

Wales good at the breakdown and in decision making. Kick chase and wide defence poor though, as well as bad first scrum.

And second.

 

[CCS]

Wales have an inexperienced prop and also one who we know Garces has differences of opinion with. Could be a bad night for their scrum.

 

[electristan]

England looking dangerous in attack, and Wales a bit dodgy in defence.

yeah and they are dominating the scrum so far

 

[Tenebrous]

Fuck off, England.

 

[FortuneFaded]

If someone could smash May hard enough that he never makes it out of Gloucester again that would be lovely.

Death by snu-snu?

 

[SHarris78]

A drop goal 13 mins in, ffs.

 

[Beefy]

Drop goal attempt? Why?

 

[kmag]

What a stupid drop goal attempt.

 

[CCS]

That's one of the major technical offences that's being picked up more these days.

 

[derdriu]

A drop goal 13 mins in, ffs.

Yep best decision ever, well done Wales.......wtf

 

[jufonuk]

a football match.. I predict scrappy even scores in the first half, England's fitness will overcome wales in the second half a few tries and England will edge through just

 

[Omikaru]

Fantastic drop goal!

 

[electristan]

drop goals everywhere

 

[Deleted member 1235]

thats how a drop goal works whales

 

[Griss]

Hmmm... that Wales line is coming up quick. A bit too quick, imo. Think some of them are persistantly offside but it's hard to tell.

 

[SHarris78]

Fantastic take in mid air, shame it didn't come to anything.

 

[CCS]

This is the danger of Farrell. Better kicker and decision maker than Ford.

 

[Slacka]

Haha! can almost hear his thoughts.

"Ok Wales, if that's the game you want to play, we can play it too!"

 

[KingSnake]

I hope this doesn't become a drop goal contest.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Got to love a good droppie.

 

[kmag]

England will be happier with their start. Look far better in attack than Wales.

 

[Griss]

I hope this doesn't become a drop goal contest.

As players become bigger and the defending gets better year by year I'm sure that eventually some team will find some gifted drop goal kicker and just have him attempt one every time they near the 22. Would revolutionise the game and necessitate rules changes.
