You just can't bear the thought of Wales winning the trophy.

No, I want Wales to win the trophy. I support Wales! I'm just extremely pessimistic when it comes to supporting sports teams, and I genuinely think Wales's brainfart at the end there has probably cost them the championship.

Edit: And there's the early Ireland try. They're so pumped up, because they know they can do it. 71 minutes to find two converted tries against the worst team in the Six Nations? Piece of piss.

Why the hell do you want Wales to win?

My father is Welsh, and that's the side of the family that supports rugby. My English mother and her family didn't give two shits about rugby (they were football lovers from Lancashire, hence the support of United), so I only ever had Wales supporters around me as a kid. If you knew what he'd named me, you'd understand how Welsh-rugby mad my father and his family are ;)

Gareth?
 
Come on Scotland! Don't let Ireland run away with this.
 
Not been good so far. Need to sort out the line out and tighten up defensively.
 
Lot's of school boy errors. Scotland trying to force it when it's not on, they look clueless at times in attack.
 
Where's the yellow cards? Ref needs to take control here. They already infringed to stop us scoring a few minutes ago.
 
Sexton's heads gone, not that it really matters. Ireland have this wrapped up, a case of just how many they want. At least Wales can live safe in the knowledge that Italy try in the last minute wasn't important.
 
Sexton's going to blow this. If he had got those two kicks that would have been it.
 
Whoever calls Jonathan Sexton world class is an idiot. Grade A bottler at the highest level
 
Scotland trying to play from the 22, just get rid of it. Massive kick for Sexton here!

It doesn't really matter, Scotland seem determined for Ireland to win and there's no way they aren't going to get the points they need. England are basically an irrelevance as they won't beat France heavily.
 
Sexton puts that one over. Thank feck.

They're using that as an argument in England's favour this weekend, that although you are playing Scotland you don't really carve teams open and create lots of chances

I still think you'll do it, and can't believe the bookies have it

England 5/6
Ireland 7/4

If anything that should be the other way round imo, probably put some money on Ireland

Wish I saw this before now, would have shoved on Ireland

He used to be very prone to poor misses when he first took over from O'Gara but got a lot better in recent years in that respect. Pressure seems to have got to him here though. Definitely world class though.

Pretty low bar for greatness then. Last week, this week and the game against New Zealand in the autumn internationals say otherwise.
 
Lynk said:
Generally yeah. He had the best team in Europe.

He's been brilliant today. Yeah he's missed 2 kicks and yes the one against New Zealand but his open field play and defense is unbelievable.

Also having the best team in Europe hardly matters. Doesn't make Messi and co any worse.
