[Biltong]

Booing the opposition is in poor taste in my view.

happens at most stadiums, nothing new

[nathan]

Oh come on, is this a wrestling match?

[Biltong]

At some point a game of Rugby may break out It could be a while...

I was going to hold natures call, but it seems I have plenty of time

[TheRugbyMaster]

Oh come on, is this a wrestling match?

[Nachos Jones]

Booing the opposition is in poor taste in my view.

Zero excuse, I agree with RugbyMaster, poor taste.

[nathan]

Did they just boo the English anthem? Bit out of order

[Notch]

Well, this is a wee bit childish.

I presume it's so Wales don't delay after England have gone out

Aye, but these "mind games" from both sides... <shakes head>. Just play the game!

[Breadvan]

Is this a one direction gig?

[TheRugbyMaster]

I have a theory that you can tell who will win by the pre-game faces.

And I'm certain that chick dressed like a daffodil ain't gonna win.

Be that as it may, let's focus on the rugby, it is sure to start in the next 40 minutes or so

[Fernando]

Did they just boo the English anthem? Bit out of order

They should be glad The Queen doesn't ban Rugby & Music otherwise Wales would be entirely pointless (im just kidding....Maybe...)

[TheRugbyMaster]

Isn't the six nations going to be held at this stadium too? I hope whatever this is doesn't wreck the turf.

[nathan]

What was the pen for?

[Nachos Jones]

What was the pen for?

Not rolling away but I am not sure what more May could have done myself...

[nathan]

Hmmm, Welsh player on the wrong side there

[Breadvan]

Shaky start by us but a great scrum move by Wales...

[nathan]

Got to admit, lovely off load

[TheRugbyMaster]

Great work by the big man, England caught out too narrow in defence....again....

[The Saint]

We got the try, but that england scrum has me very worried. Or should I be more worried about our own scrum? Weight advantage is no significance.

[nathan]

England too narrow again

[Biltong]

Very poor defense by England after a brilliant scrum by them

[Notch]

Bit of a horror show from Haskell and May, brilliant offload though.

[nathan]

Where was the knock on?

[Geordie]

How was that England lineout any worse than hibbard previous one??

[Biltong]

Try, great chip kick, well picked up.

[Geordie]

well taken by Watson

[Fernando]

England try being checked...Things not going well for us so far so probably disallowed

[nathan]

How was that England lineout any worse than hibbard previous one??

It was given as a knock on. Why is that getting checked?

[TheRugbyMaster]

1/2p stood up in defence again. Just like twice in the last 10 minutes in autumn, has he lost it?

[nathan]

Which kicking boots has ford got on today then

[Fernando]

The post finders....

[Steve_rugby]

Great try by England

[nathan]

Was that about 1 second of holding on lol

[Steve_rugby]

Welsh player wasn't supporting his own weight for that penalty, should have gone Englands way.

[nathan]

How was that not playing it on the floor?

He pushed it along the floor

[TheRugbyMaster]

That was taken back in by brown...line out should've been in the 22

[Breadvan]

Garces quick to penalise Eng....

[Guest]

Will you lot please stop whining at every single play!

[The Saint]

Great try by england. Shame their embarrassing 606 contingent of fans have resorted to ref-whinging before the first half is up.

[nathan]

I think this will be a slow death for us. What's the best Moore loses it at some point

[Steve_rugby]

I'll post what I want, when I want, thanks

[Breadvan]

Note to Eng. we're playing Wales, not ourselves ffs.

[Notch]

Keep it civil in here please. People are going to disagree with ref decisions. There's no need to be provocative.

[nathan]

Who hasn't been civil? Or was it a pre warning for replies?

[TheRugbyMaster]

Je suis steve!

You keep that attitude up and ill be surprised if you get into double figures for posts

[Breadvan]

Gonna take summat special to break the blitz defence.

[TheRugbyMaster]

Gonna take summat special to break the blitz defence.

It will tire in the last quarter...always does.

[nathan]

He'll probably be better than North anyway
