Junior Soprano 22,428 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Starts on Saturday for folk interested. Scotland v Ireland England v France Italy v Wales Looking forward to seeing how Scotland do, as I think this is probably the best team in years.

Craigyboy9 416 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 The paddies are looking strong, but with Glasgow playing so well, I think a wee upset is on the cards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

harlands plater 16,933 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Used to love watching this back in the 70s before they diluted it by letting the Eyeties join. Especailly Wales with JPR, Gareth Edwards and the incomparable Barry John. What a team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Williamson. 81,476 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Aye, Ireland is completely mixed in terms of support as its the entire island makes up the team. I don't mind them and as far as rugby goes I like to see the country do well. Would you fuck see me wearing green or getting on like a gobshite leprechaun though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clemdog 39,389 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Fantastic for Scotland. Our team and Management is the best it's been for decades. England are one of the best in the World right now, so it'll be tough. But I'm dreaming that we could do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.A.I 36,183 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Watched the game today was a great result and all-round performance. Getting better but still need to polish a few aspects of our game but easily the best Scottish rugby team since the 95 World Cup when we had Hastings and Logan etc. Well worth the win today against a good side in Ireland. Thinking of getting tickets for the Italy game. Never been to Murrayfield before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not the best to answer this as I'm not a proper supporter of the team. As I said, I like to see them do well, but all that tri colour and soldiers song shite can take itself so far to fuck. Tbh the rugby mates I do have aren't much into football and don't care all that much for politics. Obviously they don't wave the tri colour and don't join in on songs like that but for the most part I don't think they're fussed. I'd rather launch myself off a cliff than be near any cunt doing either of those things so I'm very much a casual telly fan when I can be bothered.

Our players could take a leaf out of their passion and desire, they leave nothing on the pitch and in Hogg I think we have the best player out of the lot, we have been getting better gradually and a big result like today was always on the cards.

Hopefully that changes, but I doubt it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been to twickenham or Dublin, but the millennium stadium atmosphere in Cardiff is probably the best atmosphere I've sampled away from an OF game, was at the Parc du Princes in the 90s and that was pretty good too.

Thinking of getting tickets for the Italy game. Never been to Murrayfield before. Surely sold out and will probably cost a few quid. Just checked there are briefs but £35 and upwards and will probably sell quickly on the back of today. Good luck anyway. Maybe you and BP9 could go along together..
