stealthy1 3,964 Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Why should Italy pander to England and play into Englands hands? I've never heard winners bleat so much over nothing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jack44 187 Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 As above why should Italy play the rucks just because thats how the England boys want to play who the hell do they think they are Italy played perfectly leagl. The ref only made that comment when the English lad ask (what can we do to sort it) he then explained about it after when he was ask about the rule as hr is ment to I though it was a great game to watch and was reffed well the better team did win after but they were rattled in the first half Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wickenuk 40 Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 i'm not bleating it's just an opinion ,Italy were smart to come up with the tactic but it's just not the way i like to see the game played ,potentially there is some cracking games to come Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bird 9,862 Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Eddie Jones was asking world rugby to assist Italy in the week before the match , I think that he genuinely thought that the tactic used was not in the spirit of the game , do rugby fans really believe that it was good for the sport, I don't I want to see a team compete physically to the best of their ability with pride , if they lose at least they gave their all and can hold their heads high. true lets hope the jocks and the irish want to play against england like the above , either way england will win this tournament easy now , just watch next week Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Stick that up your arse Walshie. Guts and determination. Jok. Good to see you fired up mate. I suppose it's the years of bitter disappointment that finely hone that spirit. Now come and take back the Calcutta Cup (if you're able). We're tired of cleaning it now.

downsview 448 Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) I hate any kind of whingeing in rugby either from players,managers or supporters Eddie Jones is a good manager he guards his players jealously and his love of the game is obvious to see I can forgive him a little mind games the Italy game was won and over all comments he made were for the ears of the Scots and the Irish ,dark forces at play lol Edited February 28, 2017 by downsview 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jok 3,210 Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Thought you'd gone and left us Walshie. Looking forward to the CC with interest. Who do you reckon will be our scrum half? Jok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jok 3,210 Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Beast. Totally agree. He played a tight game and TBH I gave him MOM. I know the points went to our kicker but thought he deserved it. Only my opinion. Really looking fwd to the Cup. Jok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paulnix 426 Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Price played well enough to keep the shirt for sure, to me I would of had him in from the first match and put Laidlaw on the bench but then no one else is as rock solid as him kicking. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jok 3,210 Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Totally agree. I was brought up and played with these guys (dads) for Galashiels and Melrose. The Laidlaws are close family friends as with my former coach Jim Telfer. Now as he is the leading light, I wonder where this position is going to go. Price for me all day long. Just seems to have a better all round awareness. We shall see. Jok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Does Gavin Hastings pop round to cut the grass for you.....Some name droppers on this thread ffs 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jok 3,210 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Downs view. Not really mate. Just that Melrose lads stick together and apart from Hawick we were all mates who went to the same school. The Hastings brothers were brilliant as is Keith Robertson and a hell of a lot more I could mention. Don't seem to get same solidarity in English rugby do you. Jok.
