What's Alyn Wyn-Jones ever done to you?

Hopefully he'll lead the Lions to victory this summer . . . or whenever. Not too good for the England players with Garland watching

 

[SmallTown]

So, that’s the first time in my lifetime England have won the reverse triple crown. Losing to all the other home nations in a five or six nations tournament. Thank god for the lions tour when those blokes will all be on our side

He might be a Welsh but he’s my favourite player. What a rugby player should be

He’s just a niggly fck who is always in the refs ear and it grates on me. No doubting he’s a great player, probably a decent bloke if I ever met him, but on a rugby field he constantly niggles away and bleats like hell to the ref all the time if anybody niggles him back or things aren’t going his way and just constantly tries to influence refs decisions. Sorry if that offends, I admit it is probably a bit irrational but id guess you also have people about whom you feel similar?

Hate is a strong word. But I have little sympathy for Eddie Jones who has managed to coach everything that's good about rugby from this English squad.

They were utterly unbearable when they beat us. Apart from Aussies they are a pretty tough team to lose against. Irish rugby fans are generally respectful so I imagine tonight won’t be too bad.
I’m just a fan of France though weirdly. They have a hell of a team at the moment and every time I’ve travelled to France with either England or Quins Their fans have been too drawer

How were they “utterly unbearable”? Just genuinely interested in this comment!

They dared to celebrate a win against the old enemy? Come on. In fact my Welsh friends to a man and woman didn't rub it in with me at all.

Im not siding with any particular team. If Wales win the Grand Slam Id be surprised and delighted for them. If France win Id be pleased too as they have olayed good rugby all season.

Yeah, fair point re hate; was a figure of speech, perhaps I should have said can’t stand which is closer to the truth.

England have managed the reverse Triple Crown after winning it. Some achievement that.

Wales managed that last season as well.

 

[Cardiffdaffs]

Wales managed that last season as well.

Which just goes to show how fortunes in Rugby change. All this talk of getting rid of Eddie Jones on the back of these performances could well change next season.

I honestly cannot see many English players in the Lions squad.

As for AWJ, every team has a player you despise but secretly admire. The same goes for football.

 

[Jostler]

Sighhhh not sure where we go from here, some serious work needs to be done in the next two years.

Fair enough we’ve massively missed Marler and Underhill, but let’s be honest how long does JM have left? He’s already retired previously, and only EJ and copious amounts of red got him back.

 

[Soutra]

Wales' progression to this match is remarkable considering they could and should have lost to Scotland and Ireland save for the red cards.

France look impressive though. If they keep 15 on the field they should see off Wales.

England? Urgh. It's like watching paint dry with the excitement taken away. Ironic that the Six Nations has been all about red cards, yet the team that fouls continually manages to keep all their players on the field. Itoje is a walking infringement.

 

[Cardiffdaffs]

Wales under the early cosh here.

 

[zzzzz]

I find myself waiting for Ant and Dec during this one.

it’s just a dull, boring game. One great piece of possession from Ireland and some moments of skill from them. Other than that it’s just a bit rubbish

Eh? A dull boring game if you're English. If you're Irish and a neutral it was half decent.
Jones should resign.

 

[Cardiffdaffs]

Good response from Wales!

 

[Zoophonic]

It was but France superb there. A great start to the game.

 

[Norman_Conquest]

More rugby been played in the first 15 minutes than in the whole of the Irl v Eng game.

Great to watch for the neutral.
