What did they have for Wales Vs Scotland?gremlin wrote: Sat Feb 03, 2024 7:03 pm My local Majestic wine shop had a Six Nations themed 'wine off' yesterday.
A really nice Italian pinot noir from the Alto Adige, ripe with bursting fruit and soft tannins vs. an English pinot noir that was...well it was in a bottle and that's about all I can say positive about it.....
Fuck me, I hope we do better in the rugby.
If wales play like they did in the second half they will beat England by a score, beat France by a couple of scores and demolish Italy. Nobody is going to beat the bogtrotters this year though. God I hate the fucking Irish

We didn't. We won, but Italy played better rugby.gremlin wrote: Sat Feb 03, 2024 7:03 pm My local Majestic wine shop had a Six Nations themed 'wine off' yesterday.

But Damn it just shows how far Italy have come in the last few years (or has England slipped that much??)
Now if Italy can keep going strong, I could have my top 3 (I know, unlikely ) To me they still looked like the England I know (and hate). Big fat blokes trying to run over the opposition. umpteen phases of play, with slow ball for most, and the few quick ones wasted as the first receiver goes head down into the defence. Emphasis on being huge rather than quick and skillful.Scud wrote: Tue Feb 06, 2024 4:11 pm I think by the end of the tournament you will be seeing a very different England game. They played more attacking rugby, they’ve been called for no attack, but the big difference will be their defence.
They let Italy in for 3 tries, but it’s their first match under a new defence coach playing a new system of rush defence like South Africa have been playing, give it a bit of time to gel and they will be very hard to play attacking rugby against.
