Off Topic Rugby World Cup

Wales will get the wooden spoon again.

 

Yep I think it'll be

1st - France/Ireland
2nd - France/Ireland
3rd - Scotland
4th - England
5th - Italy
6th - Wales

France were my pick but they have tough away games this yr so not as confident anymore

 

Their game against the Irish on the 23rd will be epic

 

O Flower of Scotland > GSTK

there I said it.

also Italian national anthem >

 

It’s not even a contest, god save the king is a dreadful anthem

 

We need to move on from it,

only at sporting occasions do you realise how piss pour it it’s

The French, Italian and Scottish anthems are all miles better

 

100% slow and monotonous, mind I’m not a royalist so that probably doesn’t help my thoughts can’t help but sing along to flower of Scotland

 

Scotland aren’t messing about

 

Well Italy are already better than Wales

 

Flower of Scotland under the lights at Murrayfield always feels special (i know today's isn't under the lights)

Got offered a ticket to it as well, gutted it was at the same time as the football

 

Oh it gives you chills no matter what

 

Italy aren’t messing about

 

Italy soon will be challenging for the title

 

Liked what I’ve seen from England here bit of Steel and backs looking threatening think Ireland will ultimately have too much for us but it’s encouraging, silly penalty’s apart


Timed this well ffs

 

Defended well up till then but we need to be more of a threat going forward.

 

Mitchell was never stopping Lowe tackling that high

 

Got a good feeling we will nick this even tho we are losing.

 

Don't like the new England strip btw

 

In the RAF I was mates with the guy who started singing FOS, Billy Steele a Scottish winger on tour with the Lions in South Africa getting grief from SA supporters got the whole team to sing it. Billy's still alive living on the east coast of Scotland. Great guy he was a PTI. I love it that it's sung at football matches etc for now. adopted as an anthem c. 1970

 

Great start for Scotland…
