It's that time of year again folks!

Cracking start last night I thought. Shame France went down to 14 men though.

Looking forward to today.
 
when i were but a lad you could struggle with the picture on an old telly now i’m sitting on a riverbank in portugal watching it from a thousand miles away on my i pad & only used about 4 gb of data
 
another good game spoilt by the ben o keefe one eye show terry he did this against england couple of years back 11 consecutive penalties & two yellow cards , beat his own record today 15 penalties & 3 yellow cards
 
Well that was a game of 2 halves if ever there was one!

Well done to Wales for saying 'sod it' and starting to play some rugby!

The 6N seldom fails to deliver.
 
A game of two halves for sure, always a great fixture,win or loose, just glad there wasn't another 5 mins or we'd probably lost, at least the Welsh came out of it with a well deserved 2 points.
 
Wales-Scotland always a great game, don't know what was said to Wales players at half time but it worked, what we need is a better No10 his missed kicks cost us the game. Anyway well done Scotland
 
Yes !
England were poor and a poor match (Italy tries excepted)
Ireland at their very best

I am sure you will have seen "The King is Dead" I saw him a few times before he retired (early)
Then you had Phil Bennett
 
Yes very sad news.

I met him a couple of times in the Cardiff club house. Nice bloke but still troubled and I think it's fair to say that he liked a drink or two.

RIP 'King' Barry John

A bit of irony there Ken, did you know O-Keefe is a doctor of Ophthalmology?
 
barry john retired from international rugby because he didn’t like being treated as special ! he was ! he resigned from his job as a rugby reporter because wales were so bad in a game he would have had to criticise them & he couldn’t do that ,one of his quotes on rugby went “it lused to be a game you played to find space and run into it. Now they look for people to run into. It used to be a game for all shapes and sizes, tall and short, broad and narrow, skinny and fat. That’s long gone.’ Now John has gone too, the one who had the insouciance to tell the nervous Lions: ‘It’s only the All Blacks.’

Two different games yesterday but I thought the Eng v Wales one was a thriller. I was sad we didn't just get over the line but am hopeful for the future as I think this young Welsh team has got good prospects.

Looking forward to some flowing rugby from today's match.
 
our tommy was the difference in the sides yesterday i first saw him play in a schools game for QE college in leicester 8-9 years ago and he stood out even then , everyone knew once he forced himself into the welsh team there’d be no displacing him watching him at tigers he reads the game so well tracks the ball and pounces ,
 
He'll have his work cut out when Jac Morgan gets fit unless we play Morgan as a 6. We'll need a chunky No8 then though. Mackenzie Martin from Cardiff looks a good future prospect for 8 although tbf the incumbent is doing a good job at the mo.
