The Culture Cup Round 6 - new but not really improved

First topic message reminder :

As the old thread is reaching its max again, I thought I would set up a whole new 20 spare pages for you all to talk about things neither cultural or Cup based.

Not that it makes a difference.

All anthropod, cortex and mild stereotyping of northerners welcome in here.

Just don't ask about the 2014 cup competition though.

Mind the window, Tino.

Jules, you're a grammar aficionado. Do I need a comma after 'windows' in my username?

It has bothered me for months now.

Strictly speaking I don't think it does.
Or should that be "Strictly speaking, I don't think it does."?

I suspect it falls under Rule 10, as optional, rather than Rule 4.

Awesome, thanks Jules.

In your rotund face, TopHat.

He 'suspects'.

I suspect the grammar-gimp is wrong.

Wales scrum dominance?
by The Saint on Tue Feb 25, 2014 3:48 pm

.First topic message reminder :

One of the fundamentals during Wales' 27-6 win over France was the success of our scrum. After having come under much scrutiny and questions relating to fitness, Jenkins and Jones came out firing and sent the much vaunted French scrum into white flag mode. This was quite clear to anyone with any rugby nous, so I find it strange that some people can be so bitter over a little Welsh success. For instance, if we look at Figure 1, we can clearly see Wales getting a very strong foothold in the scrum, allowing Faletau a clean pick-up off the back and quick ball for our backs. The English said, "Jenkins collapsed it."

Figure 1

In this next image, one of The Saint's favourites, we clearly see Wales shoving the French scrum backwards and allowing Wales to win a scrum against the head. That's something you don't see very often. That was great play from Wales. The English said, "Jenkins was lying on his belly."

Figure 2

Figure's 3 and 4 show the same scrum dominance from different angles.

Figure 3

Figure 4
https://i.servimg.com/u/f55/18/49/71/76/scrum212.jpg

Wales in trouble near their own line. It's up to super scrum to ensure ball retention is smooth. They exceed Saint's expectations by once again, sending the French scrum into retreat. The English said. "Jones collapsed it."

Figure 5
https://i.servimg.com/u/f55/18/49/71/76/scrum310.jpg

The following was Saint's next favourite moment. Wales get themselves out of trouble with some outstanding defence, and further stamp their authority on the game by earning a penalty from a total annihilation of France's scrum with their back-up props. Looks like Plan B failed.

Figure 6
https://i.servimg.com/u/f55/18/49/71/76/scrum410.jpg

And the same again.

Figure 7
https://i.servimg.com/u/f55/18/49/71/76/scrum411.jpg

Well I have to admit, we must have been really lucky to get away with this 80 minutes of scrum collapsing. Now, speaking in real terms to the real rugby people, the England scrum got a good pasting from France, and now they're down to their reserve props. Therefore, The Saint can only see scrum time going one way and this is very unfortunate for England. Scrum time dominance will be just one vital factor in trying to get a win at Twickenham, but a very important one none-the-less..

Doesn't bother me Tino. I suspect one thing, Hat suspects another. I think everyone knows who is by far the more likely to be correct.

Even if I knew you were wrong I would say you were right Julius. You have both a blue badge and are a regular on here, as such you deserve my unflinching support.

No, the three most likely to have pops at you are Rowley - Who wears garlic to ward off denim Superflyweight who wears a wig and a kilt and Galted Who fell from an ordinary tree and hit every branch on the way down which subsequently yielded ugli fruit. As personable and amusing as they are, I probably wouldn't be seen dead with them.

Autumn breeze frigidly touches ailing dreadful lives
Harshly darkness quietly surrounds the broken souls
Mellow serenades that once played between hearts
Pathetically have transformed into bitter sad songs

Somewhere beyond the flossy clouds
Cupid has lost his romancing arrows
Plays sad sonorous tunes on his bow
Dedicated to all weepy lonely hearts

Howling chilly wind blows through the mist
Sounds of sorrow spread allover the place
Fuzzy humid air submerges the inner lust
Lives decay slowly as the autumn leaves fall...

The first Culture Cup field trip shouldn't be to the rugger boards, it should be to an emo site. It's a pity you can't measure it but would be interesting to see who could cause the most suicide attempts with their comments, I suspect that it would be Tino.
