Hi Carol, you not at the game?
@ superBul:
superBul, so glad you are still with us, I was worried you might be washed away!!
Your storm pictures are scary!
@ nortierd:
Hi Nort’s, we only go to the games where Wales play at home! Tickets for this game at Twickenham would be hard to get sadly.
But for the England penalty count, they would be miles ahead. Wales are lucky to be in it
@ Blue Bird:
This time we are luckier, the rivers flow faster because they were cleaned out 2 years back. It would have been worse if the rivers was overgrown

Cracking game, must be honest, I’ve really enjoyed the 6 Nations this year.
The anthems are stirring and stunning, especially with the bands, the rugby is really top notch.
Very good season so far

Jou braaivleis is yskoud
2nd Half ON!
Great interview with that footballer regarding the rugby crowds, compared to football crowds – he couldn’t believe that they could all be drinking beer, but still be respectful and not slagging off players and each other. Thats why I love rugby!
English defense is a tough nut to crack
Wales pass the ball, and look how much better they look!
England penalty, Jenkins not binding
Big knock by Rhys Priestland, Wales
I think Mike Brown has broken that 1st line of defence every time he has touched the ball
England scrum penalty and Poite wants to have a chat with Sam Warburton

That’s more Northern Hemisphere than here by us unfortunately
The way they respect the kickers and don’t boo is something not seen here too often
Incredible camera
England 23 / 15 Wales
England look the more composed of the 2 sides
@ nortierd:
We have a spare ticket for Wales v Scotland on this coming Saturday!! 🙂
@ superBul:
108 @ nortierd:Agree, regarding the booing for opposition kickers, thats very sad (although, I wouldn’t mind putting a wager on the fact the it was started by the French), but you can still go to a rugby match anywhere in the world, not worry about hooliganism, rarely see cops – never the riot police, not get segregated from the opposition supporters, have to leave the stadium at different times, or be selective about which pub to go to after the match. All that, and I would never take my kids to a football match.
@ nortierd:
Did you hear the comment from Brian Moore “You can’t imagine that Middle Class people can make so much noise” !! 😉
…….and Wales have stopped kicking! What a difference.
Silly farking stab-through by George North…. eish
114 @ Blue Bird:I didn’t know ‘middle class’ people could still afford to go to Twickers!
Fark, can the England crowd sing nothing but Swing Low, sweet chariot!
@ Just For Kicks:
Robzim wants to go to a Liverpool FC game, I try to explain to him what places like Liverpool are like on match days!!
Yellow Card for Gethin Jenkins, at scrumtime.
Kickable England penalty
