6 Nations Decider

[ChillDoubt]

Can contain myself no longer, am getting VERY excited now and there's over 48 hours to go!
Here's a taster to set the tone:

O.K I stand corrected......;-(

[DangerUXD]

It's all irrelevant anyway you cannot guage what would have happenned with if's and buts because the ifs and buts change things anyway. eg missed pen = 22 drop out, sucessful pen = kickoff, 2 different things, chaos theory!

[ChillDoubt]

Yep, happy to correct myself:

Must've dreamt the other miss! Or did they have a crack at a drop goal? Unsure but I too had it that they'd squandered 8 points.

Probably wishful thinking!

"wishfull thinking" - yes and a general tendency by the non English to try in someway to devalue any sucess England have, in any sport. So if we win something there is always an army of those who will want to turn it into some sort of good fortune/weak opposition/bent official/luck etc episode.

im really looking forward to the match ,my poor st georges flag is in tatters after the winds we've had .

And of course there's the other Six Nations Grand Slam match on St Patrick's Day in Milan - Italy v Ireland in the Women's Six Nations (not a Championship decider - that was decided last week!)

What an absolute crock. I'll admit being fiercely patriotic whenever there is a contest involving Wales and England but when it comes to England alone I'm a huge fan, whether that be rugby, cricket, football etc, as I would be if any nation from these Isles were in a similar position.
When England beat Australia in the RWC Final I was behind them all the way and when it comes to Test Match cricket I'm an avid fan.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're all to get ya!
It's that sort of attitude that makes England everyone's favourite team to beat in most sports.

A few years old now but the sentiment remains the same....

For anyone interested, England have chosen to have the roof at the Millenium Stadium closed tomorrow.

[ChillDoubt]

It's all down to whoever has the belief.

18-12 England - unlucky, Chill :)

Just hope none of them get paralysed.....my cousin's brother-in-law has been in a wheelchair for 20 years following a rugby accident. Can't watch it.

[ChillDoubt]

I pray your prediction is way off the mark LazyGun, to the point where the scores are in fact reversed but by plus 2 in our favour, meaning we win the whole shooting match!

[LazyGun]

I already have the leeks sliced and diced, chill, ready for cooking in some olive oil and pepper :)

[LazyGun]

Oops - think my prediction was just fractionally out :)

Good performance by Wales, in a great match. Fantastic tackles and pace.
