Well luckily I watched the Italy France game, France were 'not at their best' but the Italian fullback Masi deserved his MOTM award, the Italian skipper Parrise played as he always does :thumb: they really do need a kicker though 
Wales Ireland was a dissapointment, the ref cocked up big style with the Welsh try, Johnathan Davies quoted the laws correctly but it wasn't the spectacle I was hoping for, the most exciting bit of the game was the last ditch effort by the Irish attempting to score
However the real winner of the day.... the bottles of Black Sheep Riggwelter I brewed a few weeks ago were excellent :
Have to do it all again tomorrow for the Calcutta Cup game :drink:

If you look at any of the games you can always say that the turning point was a bad decision by the referee. Caplin did well . . . but there was no way Jonathon Davies should have been penalised for getting up after a tackle . . . He hadn't been held so was more than entitled to get up and continue. . . . Plus it wasn't Caplins error . . . he asked the linesman if it was the same ball . . . and the linesman said it was
It was a nasty ugly game . . . but it was a win and I'll take it at that.
Italy France was awesome :clap: :clap: :thumb: :thumb:

I just got back from Cardiff after the game, 1st game i have ever been to and the atmosphere was amazing, game wasnt too bad either. 75,000 people singing and cheering makes an incredible atmosphere, especially the last few minutes right infront of us :)

:shock:
italy, what a great showing. great game. great result for italy. a great result for the 6 nations. for a few yeears italy have looked like they might eventually do more than make up the numbers. the win agaisnt france firmly places them in the thick of it. mirco bergamasco had the right boots on today.
:shock:
wales
so it seems we can win ugly after all. a win is a win and im not giving it back no matter how much moaning and sniping john inverdull does on bbc. and,,, sonya mclochlan was baiting players and coaches for some sort of footballesque outburst. that was more disappointing than any bad reffing decisions
not a great game but alll wins are great
going to the pub for eng sco. :drink:

Didn't see the Wales 'after match' discussions, but typical reporting no doubt
Italy beating France, well just about everyone this side of the channel would be smiling at that :lol:
Just brought more 'stock' up from The Den so there's Riggwelter again for this afternoon :drink:

Well two entertaining games so far today :party:
Thought Italy might have played better, but Scotland found their game today.... at last :clap:
Ireland played very well, they were 'up for it' today and it showed, the times England made simple mistakes yet again really didn't help them, well done Ireland :thumb:
........ and still one more game to go today, come on Wales :!:
OK I'm impartial and enjoy a good game, except when France are playing, I always support their opponents :whistle:

I wouldn't put it past the French to let Wales win by 30pts just to stop England winning the championship. :twisted:

its was a good day here at hoppy towers. the homebrew went down very well with everryone and my wife salads were a big hit too.
less said about the rugby the better
unlucky england. that daft yellow card didnt help at all
wales were **** and france wernt particulary good. they lived off our mistakes. few possitives for wales.
ahh well, at least that is all over, until june anyway
well done england on the title. pity theres no slam.
