  1. Good win. Probably didn't deserve it either but we defended well and Ireland didn't take their chances. First time we have had back to back 6 Nations wins since 2001.

    Was some atmosphere the last 20 mins. First time I have saw us beat Ireland so thats good.

    Need a win against Wales in two weeks.

  2. England are looking good for the Slam. Will be a hard game against the Welsh in the last game though.

    Got a ticket for todays game. Reckon we can beat the Irish by a couple of tries. They have about 10 players out and a rookie at 10 that can be bullied. Hopefully.

    Scotland to win by 12 points.

  3. Got a ticket for tomorrow and managed to get into some hospitality thing before and after the game. Free booze and food. Can't complain.

    I think we will struggle tomorrow. Italy have done this in the past, won a game but the problem is they don't back it up with another result. I think that might change tomorrow. Will be a tough yin.

    I will go for Scotland/Italy draw, Ireland win and a France win.

  4. I have a tie thats gold with blue and black diamonds/squarea on it. Label says on it "Exclusively designed for Rangers. Made in Italy" with a red, white and blue stripe. It was my grandads who was a big fan and my gran gave it to me after he died. It also came in a box with the Rangers crest on it. No idea where my grandad got it.

    Must be a good few years old, maybe from the 90's - early 00's. Still in great condition as I have only wore it a few times.

  5. Can't wait until Saturday! Hogg, Visser and Maitland is as an exciting a back 3 as we've seen for Scotland in a long time and it's good to see Beattie return. I don't agree with the poster who was slating De Luca. I think he's underated, O'Driscoll has said he's one of his toughest opponents.

    Looking forward to seeing Laidlaw in his natural position. Could be an outstanding international 9 imo but Jackson is simply not an international class stand off. Again our weak link will be a lack of nous at 10 and 12.

    De Luca is awful. Cost us games quite a few times. Main one was England in the World Cup in 2011. Also last year in Cardiff with his sin bin. More bad than good.

    Loved this from him though.

    Asked recently why he did not sport any tattoos on his body, De Luca replied: “Because you don’t put a bumper sticker on a Ferrari.”

  6. I will stick my neck out and say there won't be a Grand Slam at all this year.

    Ireland have the best draw on paper. Wales vs Ireland is a huge first game for them both. Wales lose then they have 3 away games in a row? Heads will go down if that happens.

  7. Final table:

    1) England 5 wins

    2) Wales 4 wins

    3) France 3 wins

    4) Ireland 1 win 1 draw

    5) Italy 1 win 1 draw

    6) Scotland 5 humiliating defeats :lol:

    So you are saying Wales vs England, last day of the fixtures, both will be chasing the Grand Slam and England will win it? In Cardiff? Off yer rocker.

    England will finish 3rd or 4th.

  8. Would hate to derail your thread but what are your reasons for this statement?

    Can get a pint at games.

    Nowhere near as much diving and rolling around the ground that footballers do.

    Refs are more respected.

    Touchline try review system in place.

    Harder players.

  9. Starts on Saturday!

    We play England away first. Then we are at home to Italy, Ireland then Wales. Finish up with a jaunt to France.

    Got tickets for the Italy and Ireland games.

    Our team against England

    15 Stuart Hogg (Glasgow Warriors) 10 caps, 1 try, 5 points

    14 Sean Maitland (Glasgow Warriors) uncapped

    13 Sean Lamont (Glasgow Warriors) 71 caps, 8 tries, 40 points

    12 Matt Scott (Edinburgh Rugby) 7 caps

    11 Tim Visser (Edinburgh Rugby) 5 caps, 4 tries, 20 points

    10 Ruaridh Jackson (Glasgow Warriors) 15 caps, 2 conversions, 2 penalties, 2 drop-goals, 16 points

    9 Greig Laidlaw (Edinburgh Rugby) vice-captain 13 caps, 2 tries, 11 conversions and 22 penalties, 98 points

    1 Ryan Grant (Glasgow Warriors) vice-captain, 5 caps

    2 Dougie Hall (Glasgow Warriors) 39 caps, 1 try, 5 points

    3 Euan Murray (Worcester Warriors) 49 caps, 2 tries, 10 points

    4 Richie Gray (Sale Sharks) 27 caps, 1 try, 5 points

    5 Jim Hamilton (Gloucester Rugby) 41 caps, 1 try, 5 points

    6 Alasdair Strokosch (Perpignan) 30 caps, 1 try, 5 points

    7 Kelly Brown (Saracens) captain, 52 caps, 4 tries, 20 points

    8 Johnnie Beattie (Montpellier) 16 caps, 3 tries, 15 points

    Substitutes: 

    16 Ross Ford (Edinburgh Rugby) 63 caps, 2 tries, 10 points

    17 Moray Low (Glasgow Warriors) 15 caps

    18 Geoff Cross (Edinburgh Rugby) 17 caps, 1 try, 5 points

    19 Alastair Kellock (Glasgow Warriors) 47 caps, 1 try, 5 points

    20 David Denton (Edinburgh Rugby) 9 caps

    21 Henry Pyrgos (Glasgow Warriors) 3 caps, 1 try, 5 points

    22 Duncan Weir (Glasgow Warriors) 2 caps, 1 conversion, 2 points

    23 Max Evans (Castres) 32 caps, 3 tries, 15 points

    We have a decent team on paper. Hopefully having Visser in there helps with our try scoring. Really need Jackson and Weir to be on form though. So glad De Luca is missing the full thing! So shite he is.

    Predictions?

    France or Ireland to win.

    Scotland to finish 4/5th.

  10. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-21098006

    Swansea City's Angel Rangel and his wife have been praised by fans after driving around the snowy streets of Swansea on Friday night looking for homeless people to help.

    The Premier League defender had tweeted his 24,000 followers on Friday night asking for suggestions of where to go because he had "food going spare".

    He later tweeted "it was just a little gesture" and was his wife Nikki's idea.

    They are reported to have ended up at a homeless shelter in the city.
