Cracking game eh Alonsfan.  :good: Plus, at last a sport that's turned down skysports and netflix, they both tried but the big suits in charge of rugby union slammed the door on them saying they had a wider audience with the BBC and ITV coverage on  free to air.  :yahoo:  :yahoo:

That was the best I have seen England play for a while Ian  :D
The quote on the BBC made me laugh..."like bulldozers in attack and wielding chainsaws in defence" hehe
Hopefully England can play the same next Sunday against France  :yahoo:

I think England rattled them completely with that 1st try by May in under 90 secs, and then relently attacking.

Totally agree. That and regaining the lead before half time was crucial. It was so close with Big Billy too that call could have gone either way. All games are crucial but Wales in Cardiff could be the decider....Come on England!! 🏉🏉 :yahoo:

Just sort of random, but where I live '6 Nations' refers to the Iroquois Confederation (Mohawk, Onondaga, Oneida, Cayuga, Seneca and Tuscarora people), which is still extant, mostly in Ontario, Canada and New York, USA, though at one point they extended south to Kentucky.

Wow!! Are they like different tribes?? If so, are they covered in tribal tattoos?? Mmmmm the image I have formed, can't wait I am visiting in a few years 😁
Until then I will have to make do with 30 fit men running around a pitch.....How will I cope  :swoon: :swoon: :swoon:

If I am reading the schedule correctly, it appears that Scotland play England on the last outing (16th March) ... oh ding dong, I don't feel like busting out in song ... I may REALLY NEED an F1 pick-me-up on the 17th March, after this result!!!  :o

Best Regards,
Cal :)

Your right we do meet Scotland then for the Calcutta Cup. You never know, Scotland have Hogg and Laidlow to name two of Scotland's better players.
Although COME ON ENGLAND...soz Calman hehe

I do miss those Rugby kick-offs in the local neighbourhood pub ... pies/sausage rolls, beer and crisps!! (and maybe a rack on the pool table during half time).

Can I sing Memories now?  :-[

Nah!!! ... I'm more of a "ten pints, time to nod off in the chair" kinda guy.   I do miss the early days of two cheap cans of beer scooped from the corner store, 15 minutes later, the room is spinning ... kinda guy.

These days, I drink beer, because I enjoy it ... those days, I drank beer to look better In the mirror (I'm still waiting) .... well, you know the rest.

Best Regards,
Cal :)

That could also be dangerous, as I like to bathe with my grey battleship!!!  :yahoo:

Anyway friends, I best grab some "non alcoholic" lunch ... then get back to my day job, I have enjoyed too much time on GPW this morning.  Have a great day and I'll catch up with you all soon (unfortunately for you).

Later peeps! *waves from a sunny, but crisp -13c Okanagan Valley here in Western Canada*
