This was needed, not sure how many forummers keep up with it though.

No suprises in week one, still waiting on Wales and Ireland though.

I listen to it on the radio with the TV on mute. I prefer Scotland based commentary on all games.

Game over. 9-19. Smiley.

First on the road to the grand slam. (Well, not if we play like that - the Welsh rabble forward line was not up to much.)

Afleitch, The game is on RTE aswell. Smiley

Sad

Closer than I thought it'd be though. And we did lead for a while.

Oh who asked you....

To tell the truth a rabble would accurately desribe the condition of Wales, were not too bad right now despite it.

Theres loads to play for. Truth be told it's more of a World Cup warm up 6 Nations this year. I don't think Ireland were that outstanding and I think it will be down to France or England again unfortunately

The Six Nations are Mohawk, Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida, and Tuscarora. Except at Six Nations Reserve in Ontario, one of the largest (the largest?) in Canada in terms of population, where it also includes Delaware and one of the traditional six nations is missing. Rugby has nothing to do with it.

Totally unimporotant. There are only three teams that can win the worlcd cup, and they all come from the Southern Hemisphere. That said, there is really only one team that can win, and they wear a lot of black.

Hint: Not Austrailia

The reality is on a good day New Zealand isn't invincible, Wales, Ireland, England, France, South Africa, and Austrailia all can have a good go at them given the chance, you never know what can happen.

Yes, that's the largest reservation. According to wiki, there are also large numbers of them in Quebec and Wisconsin. Not so many in upstate NY, where they originally lived, and a few in Oklahoma.

Grin

Still at least you can have a good chat with Welsh fans arriving back in Glasgow many of whom decided to wear kilts. Is this a one off thing because they played Scotland or is it something 'cultural'?

I thought not Smiley My friends were debating about this, I just think wearing a kilt to a game in Scotland is like wearing a beret in France. Besides, some of them didn't quite get the length right, but thats the hire shops fault if you ask me.

Could be worse, could be worse. You could be Irish (losing like that sucks, it really does. My deepest symphathies to ye all).

Not referring to anyone in particular by that post, no? Wink

Somehow I'm not surprised by what happened today - the whole "We're going to win the Grand Slam" thing was undoubtely going to deflate in the least glorious way possible.

No, the least glorious way possible would've been to solidly beat Wales and France, and then lose to England in Croke Park (by a scoreline of say 19-16 Wink) with Wikinson constantly kicking between the posts as well as, or better, than the many Gaelic footballers who play there year round.
