Still, it's like the 1970s all over again, but without Led Zeppelin. Or did we agree on another band?
Labour government + a bit of economic uncertainty = great Wales rugby team?

Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostYou were writing off Ireland only a few weeks ago, and I seem to remember warning never to write off Ireland. Wales looked impressive against weak opposition while England had an impressive score, largely thanks to Italy picking a flanker at scrum half, but Ireland beat a tough opponent in a genuinely tough game. That made Ireland the most impressive side for me.

Originally posted by Pondlife View PostI was very impressed with Halfpenny, Roberts and Byrne at the weekend. All three are young guys and so it will be good to see how they handle the English. Welsh pack were awesome but also a good deal heavier than the Scots.
Just hoping the little fella's ankle will be ok. (Mrs PL recons he's like the kid from the incredibles) Anyone know the latest on Henson? Will he be match fit?

Still no real attacking options - unless a different A Goode comes out onto the pitch

Originally posted by Bear View PostAgreed - the scariest thing for me was that Scotland playing the way they did against Wales were good enough to beat England.
Wooden spoon anyone?

What government and economic conditions do I need for the likes of these days?
You need to go back further, to Baxter's match (you know the one) in the period when "we've never had it so good" (or thereabouts)

awe it was awful.
There they were walking past my window, after the game like with me looking onwards at the snow covered street, yattering in a language that was to me, I mean do the really understand each other or are they just taking the pish?
