England V Italy Predicitions ;D

I predict I wont be watching-I fucking hate rugby!Sorry Gazz

Fred hasn't been to work for two days - Is everything ready at Twickers ?

Can't stand rugby.

I think I'll just get steadily drunk.

He's not solely working at Twickers any more Nev.

Its all good Nev

For anyone who fancies watching the rugger in the pub, me and Fred will be in the Merlin.

I will also be there , what time are you arriving?

Depends when Fred's new sofas turn up. Should be about 12ish hopefully.

Give us a text or something, I'll come join you.

A man after my own heart.

Fucking rugby. Il probably have to watch football in a tiny telly in the corner of a pub.

The Autumn Internationals were something of a let down...the only real highlight being that we blooded a few new players.  The worst thing would be if the players think 'It's only Italy' and muddle to a narrow win.  I'm hoping for a 15 to 20 point margin (in our favour).

Love rugby, especially the Six Nations.

Happy with 22-3 at half time.  It's a bit of a mismatch to be honest, but I'm just pleased we're heading for a comfortable win.  The real test will be next week in Cardiff.

Thwaites' Lancaster Bomber - a lovely malty pint of beer.

shit.

Public school sport.......how many of the England squad who won the world cup went to Public school???  look it up.

All of them, expect Jason Robinson (would be my guess).

England squad...you'll have a point there.  But not Wales, Scotland, Ireland etc.

And grass roots rugby is not dominated by public school boys at all.

I've got quite into Rugby in the past 5 years or so, and really enjoy it now.  Got a great deal of respect for those that play it, far more committed and tougher than footballers.  I also like the respect within the game.  It doesn't stop playing wit passion, good old punches being thrown etc but they all just forget about it at the final whistle and go for a pint.  My cousin played at a fairly high standard for a bit, seeing the state of him sometimes is a chuckle.  He's about 5ft 8, scrum half, thought an oppositions player was too close to his eye so swung for him, cracked his hand on the back of his head but ended up with a broken thumb and finger!

England seem to have a bit of problem right now, everything seems too slow.

I really like watching Ireland play. Nice attacking quick rugby, but with some bruisers thrown into the mix too. England are dull beyond belief.

Agreed...thats why the Taffs cant understand the majority of indifference to piss taking when we lose to them.

racist.

?

I said that because I'm sure I remember Robinson saying it (and how welcomed he was, which he was a little surprised at).

You may have been fishing, but I don't like being called a racist.
