Rugby 2020 Six Nations

Stuart Hogg has created the opportunities that have lead to two victories so far. Player of the tournament as far as I'm concerned.

Whoever at the WRU thought that letting Shaun Edwards go was a good decision should be fired from there job.

 

[gethinceri]

I think it was his own choice.

 

[Johnny Carwash]

The WRU only offered him a 2 year contract when he was looking for a 4 year contract.That decision is going to come back to haunt us big time.

 

[gethinceri]

Our defence wasn't the problem today.

 

[Johnny Carwash]

Not being clinical in the oppositions 22 let us down again today.

 

[gethinceri]

Indeed, and Biggar not being great, and Halfpenny firing on fewer than all cylinders, and Tipuric being very quiet.
Why won't we throw the ball wide?

 

[Johnny Carwash]

I would also add that George North needs to be dropped as he’s being playing off reputation for to long and hasn’t been performing at regional level for some time now.
They don’t seem to go out wide as there obsessed with either bashing it up the middle with one up runners,or aimlessly kicking possession away.Without Jon Davies and Liam Williams we also are lacking creation.

Whoever at the WRU thought that letting Shaun Edwards go was a good decision should be fired from there job.

And whoever in the RFU overlooked him for a role in England's set up should join in being fired. (and take Eddie Jones with him )

Looks like it could be the last tournament that’s free to air.

Wales' Six Nations games 'must remain free-to-air'

it amazes me how sporting events. take money over publicity. F1, Cricket, even football with champions league have all taken the money & regretted it. apparently in 2019 6 nations. england v wales it got 9m viewers if they got 0.9m viewers it would be a surprise

in these times. the core fans arent important its the floating sporting fan that will tuning thats important. i know i go on about it but sports personality of the year is big barometer for this but i think only 2 winners of trophy didnt perform on free to air. they were boxers in lewis & calzaghe who are a sporting analomy

 

[F1Brits_90]

would it matter that much with the virus that they just give england & ireland the points instead of rearranging. because lets face it realistically that the Italy are going to lose them games they just lost 17-0 to scotland & since 2014 6 nations their record is P33 W1 L32

 

[gethinceri]

Well how many points would each get?

 

[cider_and_toast]

The up and down way that England are playing at the moment a losing bonus point would be a start.

 

[Johnny Carwash]

The way Wales are playing England are likely to get a try bonus point win.

 

[Titch]

Maybe they could stick a pin in the list before the football World Cup starts, and just declare the name under the pin as the winners. That would save everyone from everything. And whilst we’re at it, just do the same for F1.

 

[F1Brits_90]

just a read a fantastic article about the six nations but also about F1 as well

Making TV viewers pay to watch the Six Nations risks making the game a profitable irrelevance

 

[F1Brits_90]

this 6 nations is going to be a farcical ending because France do lose this game. because the likely winners are likely England or Ireland. if Scotland finsh the job v France.

will just depend upon the bonus point victories. but the title wont be given til 11/18 April at the earliest

 

[Johnny Carwash]

It will end up like the Championship in 2001 when foot and mouth prevented the competition from being completed until October that year.

 

[Johnny Carwash]

I have got my clothes ready for the game in Cardiff tomorrow.
