6 Nations European Rugby

Does anyone watch the Rugby?

There's a big game next weekend, Wales v England at Cardiff.

In the ultimate contact sport this is a meeting of giants with a long history.

They say the Welsh Red Dragon roars with the crowd at this great event.

It will be a good match, usually these meetings have no punches but great impact.

I was hoping for an England grand-slam but they didn't exactly dominate Italy today...

[Harkon72]

As the years go by Italy are becoming more of a unit on the Rugby field.

I think Wales v England at Cardiff is one of the greatest fixtures in the game.

The Sweet Chariot was crushed and the Dragon Roars!

Wales 30 - England 3

What a victory! Wales haven't put England in their place so soundly for years!

It was very physical, the dominance in the scrum and up front was a psychological blow England didn't recover from. The Welsh backs finished the job to the loudest ovation Cardiff has ever heard. Da iawn Hogia, Arbennig!!

I think the Edwards , Farrell battle , may have had something to do with it as well.

I'm glad you started this thread, Gareth. Hope this turns into a long discussion like the basketball and baseball threads.

I've tried to watch Rugby before a few times but I don't understand everything that's going on during the game. It's not the NFL and it's not suppose to be, but I'm just NFL spoiled. My fault!!

There's a basketball thread? Oh...I got to find that.

Heh now you know how we feel when you guys talk about football! I have no idea what's going on there.

I once read an interesting article stating that there was a general trend in America of liking team sports such as baseball and NFL where it's mainly turn-by-turn play whereas Europeans/Brits tend to go for team sports that are more based on continuous play.

Pretty disappointed in the Wales - England result but tbh England seem to be struggling lately anyway. Reckon we'll see a lot of Welsh players in the Lions squad.

The Lions will probably have a few welsh players, Adam Jones impressed me in the Scrum, Justin Tipperick was a find for the English Game. That said, the no. 10 shirt is well contested by the English, Toby Flood is a good fulcrum to any side. I would like to see Jamie Roberts and Tuilagi share the Centre spots too. Awesome!
