Morning Taff & PH

You needed that lot and more to get you to half time Taff. Game of two halfs eh!!
Lovely headline - Huge(t) mistake gifts North try, great juggling act though.

A wins a win - congrats and good luck vs Bristol City

Electorate - Voters

Morning Nick and PH

As you say, a game of 2 ’halfs’. Thankfully, a different France appeared after halftime! A win is a win - Ireland scraped through in Paris 12 months ago with Sexton dropping a goal in the ‘red’ zone after 80 mins - and they didn’t do too badly after that!

That said, on paper, Ireland are the team to beat, but if England win today, they’d be on a high and the Media would make them favourites.

My dark horses, though are Scotland. A ‘gentle’ opener, which should put them top of the table after the first weekend, after that who knows!

Good luck at Hull today. Hope Vokes turns out a good acquisition for you. He knows where the net is!

Great link as well

Voters - Selectors

 

[nickyb]

Great response there Taff.
Scotland often flatter to deceive though, I remember a few seasons ago v Italy at Murrayfield, 20 - 0 down after 15 minutes

Ireland vs England....hmm, dour and dirty??


Selectors - Rhetoric

 

[Taffvalerowdy]

Ireland seem to have great strength in depth, yet England have the largest player pool. I expect that game to be tight, as you say a dour affair that could become dirty with so much at stake. There again, the Six Nations often surprises!

Rhetoric - Celebration

 

[nickyb]

Does indeed Taff

Re Vokes, I think Messi would find it difficult scoring at Stoke

Celebration - Hostelry
