Its a new team though they may have some problems getting used to each other i think Scotland have a chance.

[Into the blue]

The Scotland v France game is one of those where I feel no sway to either side.
I just hope it's a good game.
As far as I'm concerned I don't mind if Wales lose all their other games.
My Six Nations is sorted after today's result.

Oh well. :-( I was at Murrayfield with my wife and the outlaws for this match. Winning would have been nice, of course, but I was most impressed with the friendly and dignified atmosphere - alcohol was on sale and allowed in the stands, and the French and Scots fans were all mixed together - there was no trouble at all. Can't imagine that at an international football match.

We had a full cast from Asterix the Gaul in front of us. Obelix seemed to spend most of the match drinking Getafix's "magic" potion, and offering it to the Scots.

I saw the Asterix cast but didn't spot you & Vix behind them.

France were the only team that played well enough this weekend to look like winning the title. Ireland, Italy, Scotland and England (2nd half) were dire, Wales were barely better than average.

England impressed in the 1st half and should have had at least 1 or even 2 more tries on the board by half-time. They should have turned up for the second half, but fair play to the Ospreys, they did turn up for the second half - it took 20 years to come so I expect you anglophobes will make the most of it while you can. It is about time Wales put together a decent team for the RWC.

I will probably still watch next weekend, but if it is as bad a display of international rugby as last weekend I will probably go riding and miss the rest of the matches.

Obelix seemed to spend most of the match drinking Getafix's "magic" potion...Getafix!!!:D :D :D The name is better in his english version than the french one (Panoramix:( )
Sorry for threadjacking:o

[wobbling bear]

and the French and Scots fans were all mixed together - there was no trouble at all.
that reminds me when I played with the brassband during the matches:we had to improvise "scotland the brave" (though I don't know what the actual scot hymn is :rolleyes: - as a matter of fact I dunno the other hymns either except "waltzing mathilda" <and "g'd save the queen" which we do not play :p "all you need is love" is better for "entente cordiale">).

Wales v Scotland at 2pm today.
Gloriously sunny day in Wales today.
Just enough time for a muni ride before kick-off.

Come on Wales!

[Into the blue]

Wales 30 - Scotland 15.
Far too many chances wasted by Wales, much in the same way England wasted chances against us last week.
And a dodgy decision about that Shane Williams try.
But a result is a result.
Well done lads.

[Det-riot]

alcohol was on sale and allowed in the stands, and the French and Scots fans were all mixed together -
this doesnt normally happen at European sporting events? At all the sporting events i've been to (mainly baseball and football) beer is sold, and allowed in the stands and there is no separation of fans, but then again there are usually mostly home-team fans present.

Football (Soccer) matches in Europe have zero mixing of supporters and no alcohol allowed. Rugby however remains watched by an honourable and appreciative audience.

Good result for Wales against Italy today.
We really opened up in the second half.

Ireland next.
Bring it on.

[jamessd]

Woop woop england won!

[tumblebug rollin]

Are they playing ice hockey or Jailai.

[Into the blue]

Wales just about to kick off against Ireland at Croke Park.
Triple Crown decider.

Come on, the boys in red!

[un1-r1d3r]

Wales already 3 points down, they going to lose :D

[Into the blue]

Tsk.
3 points down ending the first half.
We should have scored during those last ten minutes.
Cagey game.

You were saying?

Scrappy first half.
A more entertaining second where the play opened up.
That's the Triple Crown.

Bring on France for the Grand Slam.

[Into the blue]

And now Scotland turn over England.

Can my day get any better?

[onewheelmadness]

Bring on France for the Grand Slam.I saw the game, I supported wales only because of you ITB:D .
...
The only sad thing about this match is that Wales team will loose on their very last game, ruining all their hopes. That's tough!:( :(

Oho!
We shall see!
The thing Wales have to watch is that the French always play with verve and flair.
And on their day they can beat anyone in the world.
Just ask New Zealand.
But we're a better team than we were in 2005.
We have a tighter defence and we are not so reckless.
It'll be a good game.

Bon chance mon ami.

[Zzagg]

In fact, I'm far from being confident on this game. Wales really impressed me last saturday and I agree with you: it'll be a great game!

Good luck my friend;)

[Zzagg]

Here we go!!!:p

[Zzagg]

half time:
Wales 9 - France 6

It will be hard to win the tournament but the game is not over yet:confused: .

[Zzagg]

Ouch!:(

[Into the blue]

Typical.

I go for a pee and miss a try.

[Into the blue]

All over bar the shouting.

[Into the blue]

Good game Zzagg.
With 15 minutes to go it was still up in the air.
You can never write-off the French.

Amazing turnaround for the Welsh from their disastrous World Cup campaign.

Not many sober Welshmen in Wales tonight.

[Zzagg]

Good game. Huge welsh defence!

Great tournament! Congratulations!!

Enjoy the celebration, ITB, you deserve it ;)

Santé!

I'm gradually becoming a rugby fan:D .
