6 Nations - YAAY! Rugby's Back!

[Gromit]

Thanks for the Haga news.

Scotland vs France was a great match too. Overall, a great sporting weekend.

FS recorded Nascar - he's never watched a Nascar race before - that is just insanity but the driving skills are brilliant. And we did watch a bit of the college basketball.

Now if we could get ice-hockey on ESPN, we'd be hard pressed to find the time to watch it all.

And a good win over the Irish 30-9 for England who were off by the critics at the start of the tournament as being a young and inexperienced team.

i think england are going to be a force to be reckoned with in 2012 ! and are going to come on quikly . good luck to ya

 

[Gromit]

I think the 2012 season is going to be one of the best. Lots of teams blooding young players - I think its game on this year. But its always like this after a RWC.

 

[shanered6]

For the Welsh .

Two 90 year old men, Dai and Emrys, have been friends all of their lives.

When it's clear that Emrys is dying, Dai visits him every day. One day Dai says, 'Emrys, we both loved rugby all our lives, and we played rugby on Saturdays together for so many years. Please do me one favour, when you get to Heaven, somehow you must let me know if there's rugby there.'

Emrys looks up at Dai from his death bed,' Dai, you've been my best friend for many years. If it's at all possible, I'll do this favour for you.

Shortly after that, Emrys passes on. At midnight a couple of nights later, Dai is awakened from a sound sleep by a blinding flash of white light and a voice calling out to him, 'Dai--Dai.'

'Who is it? Asks Dai sitting up suddenly. 'Who is it?'

'Dai--it's me, Emrys.'

'You're not Emrys. Emrys just died.'

'I'm telling you, it's me, Emrys,' insists the voice.'

'Emrys! Where are you?'

'In heaven', replies Emrys. 'I have some really good news and a little bad news.'

'Tell me the good news first,' says Dai.

The good news,' Emrys says,' is that there's rugby in heaven. Better yet, all of our old friends who died before us are here, too. Better than that, we're all young again.

Better still, it's always spring time and it never rains or snows. And best of all, we can play rugby all we want, and we never get tired.'

'That's fantastic,' says Dai. 'It's beyond my wildest dreams! So what's the bad news?'








Wait for it........................
















'You're in the team for Tuesday.'

AHEM!!! 2nd Test against England this Saturday! GO BOKKE GO!!!! Pat Lamby in the starting line-up, Morne Steyn back in his stomping ground of 6000ft asl - hope his kicking game is back on this time!

Predictions?? 38 SA - 18 Eng! Only because we're playing at altitude and of course, our boys just look like the better gang!

 

[gumpt1oo]

What is this odd game of which you speak?
Grown men chasing an odd shaped ball?
Do you not know that the European championships are on?
England v Sweden tonight!
And before anyone says the 'S' word, it is football that is being played tonight!

 

[Gromit]

You can't say the "F" word on this thread

F is for Faggots

Sorry Gumpt but as a fellow Brit I have too disagree with you, we invented Rugby when Tom Brown picked up the ball on the playing fields of Eaton and ran with it. Kick and kiss does not do it for me at all (plus I am missing Coronation Street ).
The difference between a footballer and a Rugby player, one spends nintey minuets pretended he is injured and one spends nintey minuets pretending he is not . It only takes a minuet of watching to see which is which .
