Summarising the arguments between cement and Lancaster re the roof
I think they'll call for it to be closed, simply because, even though they want it to be open, they don't want us to think they want it to be open. Then again, they may call for it to be open, because they want us to think they do not want it closed and are asking for it to be open so that we think they really want it open when in fact they really do not want it closed.

I am surprised you picked Haskell. I get angry looking at Ashton and Farrell. And I am English! ​

From Fridays team I guess wigglesworth, but it does seem to have a lack of dickheads! ​

Good choices! But unfortunately neither is in the squad

Hartley? Although he rarely gets through a game without being binned.

Might explain why their RWC pool match in '87 was so dire.. and here was me thinking it was just the shit weather & the fact it was played at Athletic Park, which even then needed bulldozing. Got hooked up with tickets, pulled a sickie to go to it & damn near got hypothermia for my troubles. Karma, I s'pose.

Well I'll be forked..... in looking for youtube footage, discovered it was in fact Wales v IRELAND. Still a crap game at a crap venue in shite weather, tho.

The forecast is set fair, cold but no chance of rain. Wales have missed a trick by not calling for the blessed roof to be left open. Now that would have confused everyone.

So for those with Foxtel but without BeIN sports, here are the broadcast times for the replays on ESPN:

Wales v England: Saturday 4pm
Italy v Ireland: Sunday 4pm
France v Scotland: Sunday 10:30pm

The roof will be open is the latest I have heard from the BBC.

Hartley? Although he rarely gets through a game without being binned.

Touche. Good choice really

Simples.

Keatley to start at 10 V Italy is an interesting call.

 

[Forcefield]

Wales over England 1-12
Ireland over Italy 1-12
France over Scotland 13+

 

[KevinO]

Wales over England 1-12
Ireland over Italy 1-12
France over Scotland 13+

Would go Ireland +13 as well. Agree with the others

 

[Forcefield]

I was tempted. But you guys are like us against Italy on away games- never score as much as you should. Plus it is the first week so I expect a bit of rust.

I've got Scotland winning.

I think the Irish team could come out firing against Italy. The Leinster players will be delighted to be away from Matt O'Connor and will want to show everyone what they can do when they are not being coached by a turf humping philistine. The Munster and Ulster lads will be sick after their failure to make it through to the Nigel's cup QFs and Henshaw is just a tremendous player. Ireland by 30+.

Just over 24 hrs to go. I'm almost moist with excitement!

France to wear a red jersey for the first time since 1959:

Gotta sell some merchandise & there's only so many shades of blue, I s'pose........

Eew!

You sure that isn't perspiring with fear?

Well the french flag is one third red so at least its a reasonably logical choice I suppose! Probably got bored with just plain white as their away kit after all this time.

God. First the orcs and now the frogs want to pretend to be welsh.

Sorry but they look like ridiculous wannabes
