Excellent stuff, the passion shown from the very start is just tear jerking stuff. The defence towards the end of the game is incredible. Loved that documentary. Unfortunately, I was up in Aberdeen that day watching Hearts get papped out the Scottish Cup. Wish I'd stayed in Edinburgh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Admiral Nelson near Whitton Station is good pre-match, usually have a bbq going and a decent atmosphere. Post match the Duke of Cambridge is busy, but service is pretty quick.

I've never gone in the direction of Whitton after a match but terms to go with the crowds into Twicks ( The Barmy Arms) or Richmond (pubs on Richmond Green). They're usually buzzing by the problem I have with matches there is that folk disperse widely so there's not many real rugby crowd pubs. The Cabbage Patch and Albany Arms in the centre of Twickenham fill up but I find them a bit OTT. I guess I'm just a fussy bugger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wales aren't that good so I'd have them second bottom, possibly bottom, with Scotland 4th in the table behind the French (winners), English, and Irish. I'd be amazed if England don't get a reaction from their new coach and they could end up winning it. Scotland are good enough to go close to winning this, but not with Townsend in charge.

It may not be us that beats them at home (we've had our once every generation win) but it will be fun to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWL Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Scotland could win the 6 Nations...............but probably won't. Usual flatter to deceive and risk and reward rugby but will ultimately lose games we should have won. England looked distinctly average in the Autumn Tests and wasn't overly impressed with Ireland either, they got results but were mind numbingly boring. Wales don't look a threat at all, so it's there for either us or France. Could be a massive game in Paris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eurostar cancelled my train so won’t be able to attend the game and was wondering if anyone would like a pair of tickets for it. £100 for the two. Cheers.

We might catch them cold but they might be on fire. I suspect you're right in the first line. We'll look like we might have beaten England and Ireland; we'll probably beat France but lose to Italy or Wales. Who'd be a Scotland supporter?

TMOs are pretty thorough with any dubious decision and their calls are not always to do with the ball. Might be a useful tool for training if you wanted to analyse the kicks but, even then, I'm not certain what a kicker's going to get out of knowing that an extra 100 rpm has done this or that to the flight. I'll be a curmudgeonly old bufty and mark it down as a gimmick for the time being. 3 minutes ago, AWM said: I like Huw Jones a lot and it's great to see him back in the squad & team but I'm surprised he got the nod ahead of Chris Harris.

Won't make much difference as Ireland will still be allowed to get away with murder, particularly the thug that is O'Mahoney, Farrell will be allowed to ref England's games and tackle illegally while AWJ and Biggar will attempt to ref the game themselves. Hopefully Jones has learned to tackle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
